Hello everybody. Hello Charles and Claire.. Thank you for your question and an opinion.
I think that culture is very important to learn english, Because English and others(Korean) are different from language family and culture. It was for the last several years that Foreigners increased rapidly into Korea. Our World is small But I'm not speak english well. so I try to learn english. I like this ESL Podcast groups. Have a good time. Edward Park.
