Why do Korean students mistake the subject, he and she? (2013, India PSP)

Why do Korean students mistake the subject, he and she?

 

From today, Dennis has decided to speak English in the dormitory. So I cooperated with him willingly. And then I realized that he has troubled with he and she. When he was wrong, I corrected "He" or "She" like a teacher.

 

He seemed to be ashamed of his mistakes and told me that he couldn't understand to be feeling odd. I answered "No." and that mistake is a regular thing in PSP. We talked about why we do this.

 

I thought that the main reason is that we hardly have had opportunities to speak English in our life.

 

The second reason is that we have only concentrated on verbs (especially tenses) because a verb is the most difficult and easily mistaken part in Korea. So we are careless withe subjects.

 

In fact, a subject is the first word and we must not make a mistake in it. But English for us has been one of the main subjects of our examination and job interviews.

 

These thoughts came from my real situation. So these might be proof that I can't speak English spontaneously as I'm still thinking in Korean while talking to others. I will try to speak English more quickly, even if I get struck with the hes and shes.

이건 나도 경험하면서 놀랐던 부분이다.

생각보다 많다.

글로 쓸 때는 아무도 틀리지 않지만

일상적인 대화나 토론을 하면 많이 실수한다.

티처들은 정말 너무나 너무나 너무나 놀라워한다. ㅋㅋㅋ

나는 이걸 문법 시스템, 시제의 탓으로 돌려버렸다 ㅋㅋㅋ
