The typical track is: First generation speaks their native language at home. Second generation is bilingual. Third generation is monolingual english. It sounds like the author tried to accelerate that process and it blew up in her face.
I do wonder if the author will teach her kids korean. I'm guessing she'll try, but I doubt they'll be as fluent as she is.

Deciding you don't want to speak a language anymore in order to fit in seems perfectly rational. Why is the mother forcing the daughter to take Korean lessons in order to continue speaking to her, instead of her taking English lessons?
