Koreans, mostly, do know varying degrees of English as it is a mandatory subject and many students take it as an extracurricular activity. However they feel a great sense of shame when speaking English in front of people and especially foreign people. It's a shame/pride dynamic and I think most TLers would be surprised at how much English Koreans know and understand. Do you know which languages do the korean study at school ? Mostly chinese ? Japanese ? English ? I'd like to know. Why would Koreans be required to study Chinese or Japanese lol | ||

You can't equal the differences among European Languages to differences between European and Asian language. And also, they have too few access to English contents and people. | ||

Students learn English [compulsory] from grade 3 elementary school and in middle school they have to learn either Japanese or Chinese (at my school) in addition to English. I can guarantee that 90% of under 25s can understand a huge amount of English, they are just shy and not confident in speaking it at all as they're afraid to be embarrassed or say something wrong. | ||

To everyone saying how European players don't have a problem with speaking English despite it not being their first language: Come on now really? You are really saying that because EUROPEANS- whom have a cultural and historical connection to the language- speak English in front of large audiences it should also be natural that Koreans should do- therefore Koreans are strange because they don't want to speak a language they aren't very proficient at even though those Euros do it all the time | ||
