An Xiying played all the invincible opponents in the world on the court, but was stumped by English: learning English is more difficult than playing

South Korea's women's singles world No. 1 sister and Paris Olympic champion Ahn Se-young, who recently competed in the 2025 Sudirman Cup World Badminton Mixed Team Championships, has been beaten all over the world on the court this season, but has been trapped in another "protracted battle" off the court - learning English is stumped. The 22-year-old new generation of badminton queen An Xiying said with a smile a few days ago: "I am learning English every day now, and I have been learning for 5 months. However, I have been learning English for a long time, but now I am serious and continue to learn English. ”

An Xiying played all the invincible opponents in the world on the court, but she was stumped by English, and she thought that learning English was more difficult than playing

An Seying admitted that the reason why she made up her mind to learn the language was that she hoped to make a lot of friends from other teams. When asked which is more difficult, playing a game or learning English, An Xiying blurted out: "English is more difficult!" She then added the reason why English is more difficult: "The hardest thing is that I don't know those words, I don't understand them, I can't remember them......... my mind will get stuck and I forget the word."

An Xiying's English teacher is far away in the UK, and the two of them take classes via Zoom video. Despite the odds, she worked tirelessly.
Regarding this Su Cup match, An Xiying said: "I am very happy because I won and helped the team get points. I'm going to keep preparing, keep improving, and enjoy the game. ”
