 Re: How many people actually speak the language of the country their in?
Okay, I am a bit embarrassed about this, but, I have lived in Korea for almost 5 years and am somewhat functional in the language. Basically, I know survival Korean (can ask how much, get around anywhere, ask for help, read, write, etc. etc. etc.).
Mind you, I am also fluent in English and Spanish. I learned enough Korean to get by. Now, I don't really want to learn it since I will be leaving in a year or two. Some see it as shameful. I do sometimes. But, this is what I have chosen.
I know I posted before, but I thought this was a more detailed response. |
