요즘 ChatGPT는 영어공부에도 많이 활용된다. 최근에 5월14일 토익시험을 보고 시험 후기 라이브 방송을 진행하는데 시청자가 ‘ChatGPT는 다른 것을 답으로 말하는데요?’라고 말해서 나중에 원어민 친구들과 doublecheck 해보니 AI가 아니라 사람의 판단이 맞는 것을 확인했다. ChatGPT가 영어를 기반으로 해서 대부분 맞는 말을 하지만 ‘모른다’는 말을 하지 않고 거짓말을 하는 경우도 있으니 아직은 100% 신뢰하지는 말라는 조언을 드리고 싶다. ChatGPT가 틀린 말을 할 경우 사실을 기반으로 다시 질문을 하면 ‘My apologies….’하면서 자기 오류를 그 때 인정한다. 그 실제 예를 들어 드린다. Kinglish Co. announced today that Isaac Durst has been named its new CEO. I am excited to be working w

A few weeks ago, I visited Japan for the first time in four years. I expected to find many changes but was surprised to find things almost the same as they were in 2019. Compared to South Korea and the US, where some pandemic era innovations have become the norm, Japan feels the most like 2019. As I traveled, I began to wonder why and came up with several possible answers. Compared to South Korea and the US, Japanese society changes more slowly. Japanese organizations are wary of sudden change a

이번 회에는 저희 책 Advanced Vocab에서 소개한 중상급 영단어들을 알려드립니다. 단어의 우리말 뜻을 기억하는 데에서 그치지 않고, 난이도 있는 단어를 실제로 활용하는 단계까지 나아가 보기 바랍니다. 〈판단력, 바른성품, 신중함〉 1. self-effacing [sélfiféisiŋ] 자신을 내세우지 않는 efface는 e(ex, out이라는 뜻)+face로 구성되어 ‘지우다’라는 뜻을 지닌다. self-effacing은 자신을 지우는 모습, 즉 나서지 않는 태도를 표현한다. In my youth, I was taught to be modest and self-effacing, but success in adult life seems very dependent on an ability to aggressively self-promote. 어릴 때는 겸손하고 자신을 낮추라고 배웠지만 성인으로서 인생의 성공

The pandemic is officially over. By federal declaration, the public health emergency expired on May 11. Yet COVID-19′s devastating effects are going nowhere. I recently attended a wedding where only one of the bride’s parents was there to see her take her vows because the coronavirus had claimed the other. The World Health Organization estimates that 1.1 million Americans and nearly 7 million people globally have died as a result of the disease. Nevertheless, three years after the wo

The security situation on the Korean Peninsula has fallen into a foggy hole again as North Korea attempted the launch of a military reconnaissance satellite. Though the launch failed, it does not change the assessment that North Korea seriously violated the UN Security Council’s resolutions which ban the North from using ballistic missile technology. As North Korea's satellite launch has consistently deteriorated security anxiety, dragging down the security situation on the Korean Pen

You can find the correct answer(s) at the bottom of the page. The 59th Baeksang Arts Awards, celebrating the best in films, TV series and plays, were presented on April 28. Park Chan-wook's romantic thriller, "Decision to Leave," and actor Park Eun-bin from ENA’s hit TV series "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" won the grand prizes. In “Attorney Woo,” the actor portrayed a young rookie lawyer with autism who tackles difficult cases, while facing adversity and

The bizarre and unsavory strongman bromance between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump continues. If you’re a Make America Great Again Republican and not having second thoughts by now, something’s wrong with you. The latest head-scratcher and jaw-dropper is a new list of sanctions slapped on American individuals by the Russian president. That’s already weird. Aren’t we in the West the ones imposing sanctions on him for waging a genocidal war of conquest against Ukraine? But

Linguists say that the Korean people have an extraordinarily keen sense of colors. For example, Koreans do not simply say something is red, blue, or yellow, or reddish, bluish or yellowish. In fact, the Korean language has numerous, rich adjectives depicting the subtle nuance of different colors. Among others, "bulgu-jukjuk hada," "pureut-pureut hada" and "nori-kiri hada" come to mind, all of which are hard to translate into English, but delicately describe complex
