#7 Should Korea have more than one official language?

Now many countries and people are using global language, English. But many people worried about decreasing their traditional language. They think in their language, there are so many things such as history, ritual and their mind. But if we use English, e can announce our culture and get more information and can make our economy bigger. Now we are living in a global world. So if people want to announce or keep their tradition or language, they should study global language English. Do you ever heard about Korean wave? It means many people in the world watch Korean drama and movie, listen Korean music (K-POP), eat Korean food and wearing Korean clothes. For example PSY and EXO. So many Korean including me are proud of Korea and Korean culture. How can we advertise Korea and Korean culture to other countries? The answer is uploading video through Youtube or posting at our blogs. If we do these, we use nor Korean but English. Because other countries can’t read Korean. They can understand English. It means before announcing ours, knowing and learning global language (English). Another reason is if we visit somewhere in the world, we can see English in everywhere. For example if we visit museums or tourist spots, most information is written in English. Maybe there are also Korean. But it is not in everywhere. So if you want get much information, try to study English. Also if you want to search diverse of information through internet or books, you need to study English. Because there are many books and much information written in English. Finally, if Korea has English as an official language, our economy is getting bigger and higher. It is discomfortable that tourist can’t understand what others say if they visit Korea. Unless Korean study English it is hard to explain for foreign tourists. Good communications makes good image of Korea. Good communication and good image of Korea make them revisit Korea. This is not good for our economy. The fact is that we should study English and use English. It is essential to have English as a second language.
