Grace: A Short Story for English Learners
Grace is convinced that all she needs to jump start her adult life is a place of her own. Join her as she navigates friendships, budding romance, employment and parental intrusion as she goes about her day to day in a suburb of Seoul, South Korea.
"“Is it okay if I like him?” Grace asked, not knowing what she expected. It didn’t occur to her until just then that she was maybe a little bit reluctant of the possibility of June liking Josh. June was a lot prettier than she was and better at social cues and stuff. If she liked Josh, it would be so easy for her to get Josh to like her too."
On the outside, Grace appears so confident but in situations that require more emotional finesse she has an almost child like quality. Why can't she get it together? Is this as good as it is going to get? Take a peek at what it is like for so many young adults trying to better understand themselves in Korea.
ERT Scribe is dedicated to telling culturally relevant fictional narratives that wouldn't normally be told in English. These literary morsels are great for those trying to get back into reading or for second language learners. Reading shouldn't be difficult, it should be enjoyable. If you haven't read a book in a while, ERT Scribe stories will transport you into the lives of young adults all over the world. Read on.

This fun little story follows Grace as she navigates life as a young woman in Korea. There's a little bit of drama, a little bit of romance, a little bit of coffee, and a lot of delicious Korean food!
It's great for people learning English as a second language, and gives a peek into Korean culture for those who aren't familiar with it already.
