Hello all

I've had alot of friends playing on korean servers these days, and if you have ever logged into brainclan, sometimes it takes forever to get a game because you don't speak the damn language.

Therefore, I figured it would be beneficial to the foreign community if we could all learn a handful of phrases to help us get games

remember WGT? Korean players would have in their profile

/w wgtbot win
/w wgtbot play <id>

etc

We should have such phrases so that we can say things like

"1v1 gogo?"
"Sorry, I don't speak korean"
"You make"

etc

Therefore if you are korean, please give us a handful of phrases that we foreigners can use!! Please use the english alphabet as opposed to hangul! as in, how would you type in phonetically, like gosu, chobo, hasu, annyong haseyo etc, not fjdgklafjd, qqkuqk or something

I will compile a list of useful phrases so that people can ladder away : ]

Phrase list:

Han game ha sil rae yo? <- One game with me?
Bang je ju se yo <- Make room (or maybe room name.. sometihng like that)

Dunno how to say 'I don't speak korean' exactly, but I usually say something like
Jeo 'Sweden' (insert country obv) saram, han guk mal jal mot hae yo

Meaning, I'm from sweden, my korean is bad.

Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.

I think he means like gosu instead of the hangul way to write it :O not the english letters to write in hangul. Not sure tho
I may not be the best player right now but I think I can beat any 'best' players. I'll beat all the best players and become the best player. Watch me. - Jju

After you see something like "1200+++ 1v1" you can msg him
"ㄱㄱ(rr)"or "고고(rhrh)" which both means gogo. It's common
when you msg someone "go make" and suddenly you see
"종족이?" "종족?" then he is asking for your race so just type
any english initial(e.g. me z.). You can do the same thing by
asking him his race before gaming by typing "종족이?(whdwhrdl?)"
then most likely you will see something like zerg "z, ㅈ, 저그",
terran "t, 테,테란", protoss "p, ㅍ, 플토" it can be in different forms
but if you see any first word he says with ㅈ ㅌ ㅍ then you can
assume what race he said. If he keeps talking in korean thinking
you speak korean, you can easily type "me no korean" but you can
say "Sorry, No korean(저 한국사람아님)[wj gksrnrtkfkadksla].

Meaning, I'm from sweden, my korean is bad.

By now someone has proably written something more comprehensive but I started writing this hours ago and forgot about it lol so I'll just click post!

I know how to say whisper too but eh, I can't write that in english cause it's a weird word,,
