text: how can i learn english fast?? i am an korean living in south korea. i would like to speak in english very fluently. i think you are an american. so, could you please let me know some skills to learn english fast? i hope to receive good news. thank you!! learning british/irish/australian dialects of english will definitely hinder your chances of getting a job where english is necessary.  that's why in korea and all other countries, americans are paid more to teach english.  american english is not "pure," in the sense that it branched off from british english, but it is the standard dialect for international business. i suggest perhaps trying a 학원, or better still, make some american friends in korea. most people will be very nice and help you with any english questions you might have, and will appreciate having a korean friend to teach them some korean while living in the country.
