Answering questions

101) In your view, what is the most pressing problem facing Korean language learner's today?

The problem of them is that they don't think studying their native language is really important. They rather get deeply into the second language like English. This is really a big problem because it doesn't make sense that one such person don't know their language very well! I've heard that nowadays even the young aged child start to learn English before learning Korean. What a funny thing. Their parents want to make thier child a elite so the children be forced into English academy, study English untill midnight even though they are not interested in English. I think this should be reformed.

For example, do you think there are any cultural issues that affect Korean peoples' ability to learn English? Regardless, my corrections are below:
