My Korean friend

When my Korean friend first arrived in America, he was more or less a very good English speaker.

My Korean friend spoke English very well when he first arrived in America.

Sometimes he may make a mistake and use a word that is not exactly what he thinks.

Sometimes he will foolishly express his meaning with a sentence "he thinks that's what he means"

He also has many difficulties in idioms.

He still doesn't understand dialects/idioms.

However, in addition, his English is handy in daily life.

However, in addition, he can cope with everyday English.

One day, my friend asked me to help him buy a necklace for his wife.

One day, a friend of mine asked me to buy a necklace for his wife.

I have never met his wife. I asked him if he had her picture at hand.

I never met his wife, so I asked him if he had any photos of his wife.

When I saw her photo, I said, "Your wife is really a chicken."

Seeing the photo of her (my friend's wife), I said, "Your wife is so pure."

My friend saw it. Confused. He asked me, "Why do you think my wife is a chicken?" I told him that a chicken in spring means a beautiful young girl.

My friend looked at me doubtfully. He asked me, "Why do you think my wife is a chicken?" I told him that Chen Chi means beautiful young girls in spring.

We went to buy a necklace that afternoon. We walked into a small jewelry store and found a necklace that I thought was stolen. My friend bought it.

My friend told the salesman in Korean, "This necklace is for my wife."

My friend told the shop assistant, "This necklace is for my wife in Korea."

"Really?" The salesperson said. "Yes," said my friend. He showed his wife's photo to the shop assistant. He asked the salesman, "Isn't my wife chicken noodles?"

"Really?" The salesman said, "Yes," my friend said. He showed his wife's photo to the shop assistant. He asked the salesman, "Do you think my wife is a chicken head? Actually, what he wants to say is, do you think my wife has a good face/does my wife deserve this necklace? ) "

I think we only learn if we screw up from time to time.

I think we all learn by screwing things up again and again.
