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


I work at a Korean middle school.

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.


yeah, I thought some shitty part of cultural thing like this would play a role
I mean, why in the seven hells would you be afraid to try and speak another language? so what if you do it wrong? at least you tried to communicate with, like, a whole other culture


As a non french speaker living in france, its pretty daunting.

I agree its odd. We all think of these guys as super smart, but not a one can do an interview in English.

Look at Dimaga, TLO and Stephano. They all had a different first language than English, but they all can also do English interviews without problem.



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.


I'm not saying its equal, but you would think there would be at least a couple Koreans pro's that could speak great English.

Think how much sponsorship money that would be worth. The incentive is there for them.


DRG-Violet (I won't include MC), Polt, HerO (despite never fucking hearing it in public lol) are said to have good English. DRG , Violet and Polt you can see for yourself (youtube)

dsousa you might wanna do some more research before you spout off nonsense

Hmmm, then why do so many Korean pro gamers seem uncomfortable speaking it? Do they just not want to because they're not fluent?


Remember most korean pro gamers are high school dropouts, so you should remember that their formal education has been a lot more fragmented then the typical korean.


Ah, I actually didn't know most were dropouts.

The incentive was not here for these BW pros when they were very young.

I wonder if most of the people ragging on Koreans not knowing English are multilingual. The Europeans obviously are

That's because French and German are very close to English. They share the same lineage, whereas Korean does not.


Not entirely true.
We share the same alphabet, but you're quoting 3 languages with different roots here. Regardless, it's true that the whole 'european' melting-pot of the past two milleniums has brought things together.
Would have been better to compare French with Spanish and Italian though.
