DeeTee 1,719 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Article: Korean is 'dirty'?Source: Joongang Ilbo via NateArticle talks about a 'dirty' Korean language book being sold on Amazon and how Korean netizens have mixed feelings over their language being taught this way.1. [+1,705, -45] Wow, I really want to see the face of the guy who thought it was appropriate to release this2. [+1,405, -34] My face is red with embarrassment... what is this...3. [+1,366, -34] The guy who made this and the company that published it are both trash4. [+29, -2] The book isn't saying the Korean language is dirty, it's just a book about Korean slang5. [+21, -2] It's not saying Korean is dirty... but I do think that people who use slang like this have dirty mouths6. [+16, -1] But were examples like that necessary?7. [+13, -0] This is nothing to be concerned over... ã…¡.ã…¡ It's not a book used in formal settings, just a fun book on slang. We have books on English slang too.. and I even saw some Japanese slang books as well.8. [+13, -3] Every language has books like this9. [+12, -2] I have no problem with this, and I'm actually surprised that Korean has become a language popular enough for slang books to be made out of. It means that Korean is that much more known.10. [+9, -3] I think the government should do something about this, at least a lawsuit or something. We should be spreading how scientific our language is, not bring its image down with books like this.

A random user 6,763 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 6. [+16, -1] But were examples like that necessary? I mean... First, is a book about slangs, not formal language. And finally, how the reader gonna see those slangs being put to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
where my hood unnies at 4,967 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 8. [+13, -3] Every language has books like this exactly. i don't think anyone would find the content of the book particularily shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azur 1,325 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't get why it's wrong, like the title said it's "dirty korean". To learn/understand a language, you have to learn even the "bad" words 10. [+9, -3] I think the government should do something about this, at least a lawsuit or something.

Aya Sama 3,501 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 They're just now finding out about the Dirty series? They even have Dirty Sign Language and Dirty Yiddish (Dirty Japanese was my favorite). 10. [+9, -3] I think the government should do something about this, at least a lawsuit or something. We should be spreading how scientific our language is, not bring its image down with books like this. Go sit your boring ass down in the corner of shame and remain there forever. Learning languages should be fun and exciting . Learning dirty words and slang are the things ppl want to learn the most anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
