If you do, I'm amazed. I didn't know it was possible to speak an alphabet.
Seriously folks, stop saying "I can speak Hangul." No, you can't. Nobody can. Hangul is not a language. I can't believe how many times I hear foreigners say this. |

wow. you should get their names and addresses; set up an overseas blog (so they can't sue you here) and let us know who these terrible, terrible people are!
I can't believe anyone actually says that! Holy Mother Of Godipoopoo!
I mean, really, "I speak hangul!!!!!!!"
What the heck!
Jesus Munchies!
They might as well say they have a friend from Ireland that they can actually understand!
Insane! |

it's not that they don't understand us, our beautiful accent is enough to prevent people from concentrating on what we are saying as they are too busy planning the rest of their life with us.  |

| Koreans do it too. It's pretty much the same as how people will say "write this in English letters" when they're really Latin letters. |

I have been. I don't like all Scottish accents, just like I don't like all English accents, just like I don't like all American accents.

| I speak hangul in the same way I speak binary. Which is to say, it's a written language and I can't read it. |
