Broadcaster Seo Dong-joo revealed an anecdote about raising her pet dog in English while living in the United States.
On the 16th, a video titled "Did Seo Dong-joo feel language barriers while living in the U.S.? Why Korean is actually harder" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Seo Dong-joo'.
That day Seo Dong-joo mentioned that her language habits had changed after a long time abroad, saying, "It's been 5 to 6 years since I came to Korea, and my Korean has improved a lot but my English has rather declined," and added, "So I practice English on purpose because it stresses me out."
She continued, "Every evening I sit at the table and speak English while eating," and laughed, "The pets, used to hearing only Korean, tilt their heads with a 'what is mom saying?' expression when I suddenly speak English."
She also shared an anecdote about her pet dog Lea, who lived with her from the U.S. She said, "Lea also originally grew up hearing more English. She lived in the U.S., and teachers used English in that environment," and added, "So at first I raised her in English, but after living in Korea for a long time she seems to have almost forgotten English."
However, she added with a laugh, "Even now she sometimes understands if I speak in English," saying, "There still seem to be traces of having attended an English kindergarten."
