HY (i shan't reveal her real name) is my friend who's a Korean flight attendant with SIA. When she first started her job as a trainee crew, there were some funny incidents which happened because of her grasp of English.. Please don't take it that i'm trying to ridicule the Koreans but rather look at it that i'm just sharing some thing here with everyone just for a good laugh, ok?
Incident One - Keopi of Straits Times
============================
HY: (thinking to herself: "Keopi" and Straits Times?)
*in Korean, "Keopi"(커피) means "Coffee"
Shortly after, HY returns with the customer's request.
HY: Sir, here is your Keopi and Straits Times.
Flight Passenger: (looking puzzled) Did I ask for coffee?
Incident Two - Catch up in Your Work
===============================
Flight Supervisor: HY, i think you should try to catch up in your work.
HY left abruptly and returned shortly with a sachet in her hand.
HY: You asked for Ketchup?
---------------
i also personally experienced such incidents 3 years ago
when i had my first brush with Korean people. At that time,
i haven't started learning Korean & a few Koreans didn't have
a good grasp of English either..Anyway, here goes:
Incident Three - So Far?
=================
i was having a conversation with a Korean executive.
Me: So, how's your job getting so far?
(it's supposed to mean: is it getting interesting, tough, boring?, etc)
Executive: So far? No, not far.. near my house..
Incident Four - How I Found It
=======================
i was having a conversation with a Korean secretary.
Me: So, how do you find your job?
(it's supposed to mean: is it interesting, is it tough, boring?, etc)
Secretary: Oh, i found it from the newspapers...
Incident Five - I am Fine, Thank You
==========================
i was still talking with the same Korean secretary.
Me: Oh, i see.. how old are you, by the way?
Secretary: I am fine, thank you.
