A few days ago, we told about learning English method each other in the cafe with my friends.
A surgeon of one of them that he said "I can't speak English at all".
I didn't understand it because we must study English for take the qualification of surgeon.
He said. "I can read almost medical terminology by English, but I can't English conversation. For example, I don't know what do say when if I want to lie down on the bed in my patients.".
"Lie on the bed"?
"Would you please lie here"?
We heard his a lot explanation about why he can't speak English, and we had understood.
He is a perfectionist and he hate his failure.
After that, his wife said.
"You need to a little courage. I don't laugh your mistake."
She can speak English and Korea. Her foreign language are not fluent, but Her English and Korea get through to native speakers.
The tell the truth, I'm embarrassed to speak English because my English is poor and my pronunciation is bad.
However, I have the courage to speak, too. ;)
