Topic : Many Korean young students go overseas to study English these days, right?
What do you think about this trend?
in most cases they are separated with their family.
What is your opinion on sending kids overseas to learn English when they are young?
1. I have mixed feelings about sending kids overseas for English education at an early age.
2. I think childhood is an important time for child's development, and forcing a child to live in a completely different country other than Korea could make them culturely confused.
3. First, they could have a hard time adjusting to the new environment.
- adjusting to it = getting used to it = getting comfortable with it = getting accustom to it
4. On the flip side, they could adjust so well thery're returning to Korea could be a reverse culture shock.
- on the flip side = on the other hand 이면에는,
- flip side of the coin
4-1. It's also true that families are often separated when children go abroad to study.
5. Of course, English is very important these days, but I'm personally not sure we should sacrifice children's childhood just for the sake of English education.
