Overcoming my scary

Yesterday, I asked a student of mine how often she uses English in her daily life. She said she tries to avoid it, because English is scary, and that's why she's taking classes. Then she giggled and said, "I am overcoming my scary."

There is a frequent mistake that students make here, and that is getting the phrase "in the case of" wrong. They skip the article completely, and just say "in case of." This phrase is most often used when the student is making a point about differences between Korea and other countries, so I often hear people say, "In case of Korea." I've decided that if I ever write a story/novel/script about my teaching experiences here, that is what it should be called. In Case of Korea.
