These questions sound like you're trying to reach a word limit in an essay so you just add as much filler as you can lmao

[Sue-lwku]

i thought i was fluent in English until i saw this

[newspace]

The foreign language section, huh? Okay, I get that these are supposed to be some of the harder questions, but I thought the point of language was effective communication in everyday situations. These aren't questions that are going to help with communication skills. These are questions that, unless they can look at them and analyze, even native English speakers won't understand.

[buriednavid]

y'all graduated from stanford, yale and ucla and ended up at buzzfeed?

[jerushajose]

Those questions sound like me writing an essay; repeating the same thing over and over again using as many synonyms as possible.

[zuchan]

the sad thing is when you can't even understand what is the question talking abt

[TheEvilPenguin]

That is not a foreign language test anymore, that`s a philosophy test IN a foreign language.

[songmae-ri]

Only 2 questions? Who else was expecting at least 10 questions for them to work on?

[johnnysanderman]

The strange fact is that some of my korean friends who have recieved high scores on this test cannot properly speak a single sentence at all.They've all got less than 2 questions or fewer wrong on this test(which is the score that only 4% of the total students has acquired)...but I still have communication problems with them.They don't learn english.They study hard as frick and forgets the most of it when they finish the test.

Korea: Goes to school for 13 hours

America: Omg is it yanny or laurel idk

[mooonily]

13 hours studying!!!!? I'm lucky if I can even last an hour.

[howdo]

“I graduated from Yale”
“I graduated from Stanford”
“I’m a UC Berkeley graduate”

hi I’m failing math 20 currently send help.

[desonyli]

The sad thing is, even if you're that good in these test, it doesn't matter. Because this isn't how normal people talk and you couldn't speak a sentence or speak in general without problems. You don't need this as basic English

[allenkim]

I'm a Korean student. Help us please.

[abbytpco]

Now I know why Koreans are having a hard time in the English Language. Their educational system has a difficult test questions when you can actually simplify those sentences to make it more convenient and not complicated.

[jessicae]

IM KOREAN BUT LIVE IN AMERICA! THANKS MOM

[musicgana]

I love how each sentence of the question goes from something highly analytical and scientific sounding to something that came from the mouth of Shakespeare and Emerson's love child lmao.

[paperboy]

Meanwhile, Americans spent a year trying to figure out if a dress is black and blue or white and gold

[imma]

American foreign language questions: "count to 10 in your target language"
South Korean foreign language questions: "journey's are the midwives of thought"

[coco-ojnm]

what the actual fk, i didnt even understand what the questions were asking. oml
