To be honest, with how Korean-centered our community is, and with how easy Hangul is to learn (read, so you can read names, and stuff like that, I do not mean learning Korean, cause that is hard... very hard), it should be a basic necessity..

I think this is actually really cool and wish I could have had this opportunity. I'm planning on learning a second language (to the point of proficiency/fluency) at some point, but it would have been nice to have learned something else from a young age.

Both of you low-posters are being pretty unrealistic. (Not judging, just identifying you as such)
That's Europe. Europe is a continent with masses of countries close to each other, on on big landmass with English having been an additional language to learn in schools for a long time. Travel to other countries is easy, so knowing extra languages is especially critical and thus also practical to learn.
Korea is nowhere near any truly western country to practise speaking it with.
Speaking a language is nothing like writing it and Korea is not the only country that doesn't focus on speaking as much as it should (the languages classes where I am are mostly the same  ).
If they really wanted to, I suppose they could take a trip to Hong Kong? :\ I'm not sure there's much motivation for that.

Written language is more than enough for business or education. And languages are developed the more person uses them, so Korean pro's language level is not that high.
Yea - as long as you avoid any actual human.

Well the main part of why asian countrys don't learn english is that their writing and pronounciation is so much different than english, or german or any other language that comes from the west. That's why it's so hard for them to learn, exactly as it is harder for us to learn Japanese than German.
As a Bosnian, i could learn russian pretty easy, because it's very similar to my language.
As a German , i was able to learn english, because it was the same alphabet and some grammatical things are very similar.
As a GermanBosnian, i just gave up on trying to learn Korean ( the easiest of the asian languages i guess ) because it was just to hard to comprehend some things for me and there was a lot of mixing up going on.

Yeah it´s really nice, every kid in Finland starts to learn English at 3rd grade that is when they are at the age of 8 or 9.

People just want another reason to hate "dirty Korean who came here to take our money and our women".

Bwahahahah, I have yet to meet an German person in the Netherlands trying to speak English, unless they come here for pot. All of those I have encountered simply think we all understand Deutsch. This might have changed with the younger generation, I don't know, but as I said I hardly heard any of them trying to be understood in the English language.

Makes me happy about Jaedong, if only to see some old-schoolers make it. Why the shifts? Damn, need to party a little less during the off-season, boys. :D
Lucifron is such a talented player. I bet creaming Stephano shook up his feels...

It's actually a massive conspiracy and how we're still so blatantly OP after 3 years. /s
