Young people believe if they fail school their life is over. It's not like they have the dream to finish this or that, but they believe the punishment and shame will be unbearable. It isn't.

We study British English in Europe too, it's not only about the accent, also the spelling of many words is different. And English isn't just the language of the US, it's the main global lingua franca. It's perfectly possible to make your students learn English while your country is opposed to America.

[@thepezfeo]

I'm curious if they learn any Mandarin. Knowing the language might increase the number of people that try to sneak into or through China.

[@dul8299]

Where are you from? Why do Europe learn English? Why do they choose English? Why do they not choose your native language? Why do they not learn a "global" language? English is not the global language fyi, it's British Imperialism.

[@dul8299]

Who believe English as a global language is brainwash.

[@Belihoney]

Many have adopted English as away to communicate amongst various cultures/languages. It's easier everyone speaking one langauage rather than having a conference of top European Directors with the extra cost of trnalators constantly bickering over each other to translate to their boss. That's what they mean by global lang. And in Europe, MANY countries were imperialistic, France, Spain (like come on, South Central America?), Belgium (believe it or not, they were super brutal occupiers too), Italy etc. It just so happened that English reached further due to their conquests and America made a lot of money inticing people to learnt the language more.

[@SuzuStarlight]

BelizeHunni English is also considered one of the easiest European languages to learn, so that also helped the decision to make it a global language to communicate. The EU still has French and German in their roster of business languages, but English is just way more relaxed for everyone. And I say that as someone who studied French and is a native German speaker, lol. Also, yes, colonialism was a big thing in almost all of central Europe and did its part in rising the tension that led to WW1.

[@hayes2232]

I heard from a different interview about how North Koreans are much more stress-free education wise. I wonder why that is. Maybe it's from not having to worry about getting great grades to go to university since no one goes? Or that your career is already chosen for you anyway so you don't have to think too much on it? Not sure, but very interesting.

[@MichaelSHartman]

South Korea from what I have read has become very competitive and status minded. Think trying to get to the top of a corporation. It is similar to the stories we have heard about Japan's children pressured to succeed.

You do a disservice to Orwell by likening 1984 to the hunger games.. you should do a segment about North Koreans reactions to 1984

[@TheRachaelLefler]

Haha true, Hunger Games is nowhere near as good a book. I also think Animal Farm might appeal to them.

[@TheRachaelLefler]

Hunger Games is like a teenage anime drama romance that somehow accidentally got placed into a very fake-feeling dystopian world. I think the author sounds to me like an upper-middle class American woman who has never had to struggle with any actual poverty or injustice in her life, so she wrote a flaccid, unconvincing, dull book about such things. A North Korean escaped refugee, even without formal training in writing novels, could write a book 10x better just from their own life experiences.

[@allenmoldovan]

Animal farm for sure. Orwell in general. His works resonate with many who had to endure totalitarian dictatorships under the guise of socialism. fun fact 1984 was published the same year as North Koreas inception/founding.
