Translating Koreans words is a very amusing process.
If you use google, due to the lack of words in the Korean language, you can get some very humorous translations. Try it sometime :)
In the case of chapel and church, it is up to our English students. Three are asked so join us three teachers and translate for us. The first time I was very impressed. Today, I got insight into how difficult it is for them. The girl who sat by me told me she was nervous. I learned why. She couldn't translate hardly a thing. It was okay, we have fun otherwise. I felt bad for her because she felt bad for not being of use.
Communications are so important, aren't they! One translation not made properly can start a war or lead to an erroneous teaching of what the Bible really says!
