guys, is there a particular reason why there are like no pro players that can actually speak english?


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


They probably would be a lot more confident in private, but in front of TV, + netizens I can understand. Especially when you have so many dicks in the community.

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.



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.



I've always wondered about this- because i've assumed the link between the European languages were stronger than the root between Asian languages. However having said this- old Chinese script serves as major foundation for the 3 major Eastern languages (Chinese, Korean and Japanese).

If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

@Jshark, what level of English do Koreans have at the start of highschool? (15-16) because many Korean pros probably dropped out of school around then to start playing Broodwar full time. Then add 3-4 years of no practice and that might have an effect on their level.

English is very similar to German, but it also has a lot of latin roots which makes it similar to those other languages. However, there is no such similarity with Korean, they have no relationship at all. At least a few words and things will be similar between english and Euro languages but Korean is very different and has a lot of sounds missing that are used in English. Obviously English is not just like French, but it's less of a difference for sure.
Any fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer.

OGN has a full make-up/visual production team. And they have a decade of experience in making Korean skin look presentable for TV.
