I probably wouldn't have the confidence to give an English interview if it wasn't my native language and hadn't been speaking it for at least a decade. It's also a lot harder for Koreans to speak English than for other Europeans of other languages because its completely different, including the writing system. Learning Korean and hangul is fun but so much harder than other European languages. | ||

Well finnish is arguably closer to korean than it is to english, so it's not really about that, more about being exposed to english all the time. I learned german for ten years in school and I'll speak english to any german I encounter. | ||

Of course it's a generational issue to some degree, but I've absolutely been around a lot of young Germans who don't have a clue what I'm saying. As a spanish i can vouch for that. Any country which dubs everything is very likely to have worse english than the ones which doesn't. | ||

That's actually a pretty good point. It also explains the insane amount of Americanisms that creep in to the speech of some of our European cousins methinks | ||
