We share photos of English language that either does not mean what the writer thought it means, or it does not mean anything at all, and then we use these examples to teach correct English.

I'll make you marry me.
Look at the lower half of this image, photographed from a Korean language English textbook. The phrase "I'll make you marry me" sounds very bad, as if the wedding will be unwanted and forced. The choice above that, "I'll make you my wife," is much better and can sound romantic. Yes, the meanings of these phrases are the same, when said to women, but the responses will probably be very different.
