You know how we always complain about the Koreans not speaking English.

I speak intermediate Korean and can communicate fine on my own. However your swearing isn't showing your good side. Confused

I haven't seen the thread but Koreans deliberately using crappy English when they have perfectly good Korean words that mean the same thing does sometimes gets weird for me.

I find time to be irrelevant and rather judgemental. Instead you should ask me "How strong is your chi today"?

I speak enough Korean to make Korean taxi drivers think I am fluent in the language. Although really.. I speak a version of it that doesn't involve the *butchim*....

I read enough Korean to be able to translate simple documents.
