English is also so important language in the world that it has to be teached or the country just ends up being very isolated. Korean schools do not teach english and this is why it is so isolated country. How is Korean an isolated country? Imo, Korean is more open than Japan, since they don't have a rich culture like China and Japan, they can embrace western culture much easier. Lots of them are christian, you can't see the same for China and Japan, or any other eastern Asian countries. And where did you get the idea that they don't teach English in school, didn't see anything mentioned about English in these interviews. | ||

Korea is very isolated country compared to many european countries already purely because of language barrier. That's a very bad argument for why Korea is an isolated country lol | ||

They live in Korea. Learning a second language is not their priority, especially for progamers who spend most of their time practice playing starcraft. | ||

Having no ability to understand other than your motherlanguage that is not used anywhere else is very limiting and causes the citizens be very isolated from outside world compared to countries where english is taught. | ||

Why doesnt korea have that?

They do teach English in Korean schools, please do at least some research before making ignorant statements... | ||

I am not very familiar with koreans school system, but according to pro gamers total inability to speak any coherent english I have to assume that korean basic education teaches no english, otherwise they would not need english translators. | ||

I am not very familiar with koreans school system, but according to pro gamers total inability to speak any coherent english I have to assume that korean basic education teaches no english, otherwise they would not need english translators. I think a lot of them do have a basic grasp of English since they are taught in Korea. But I think it has to do with circumstances as well. Not too many teenagers would be comfortable speaking in front of a crowd of 1000 strangers (MLG, IEM, IPL, etc). Add to that these are teenagers pro gamers who spend most of their time in front of a PC. Plus it is not their native language. So I can see why they would have trouble and would rather speak in their native tougue. | ||

Where most koreans have little to no english skills. They either teach it badly or not at all or as an elective. I think it also has to do with the fact the English in more prevalent in EU countries (not just in school but in society in general). And even in EU, I think there is a large difference from country to country. | ||
