Creative Korean Advertising #7: Get the Native Tongue?
there’s still a certain irony in “the native tongue” being advertised by people that clearly don’t quite have it themselves yet
In order to promote intensive foreign language courses at Korea University, we have designed a poster box with foreigners’s tongue flier attached. The tongue-like fliers contain catch phrase like “Get the native tongue” along with contact information of the institute. When pulling out the flier, students can visualize themselves speaking in fluent tongue just like the native speakers. This as can convey the message to the students and the institute will be remembered as an optimum place to improve their language skills.
