This just came to my mind.

I'm a bit of an activist myself and I think this kind of non-profit oriented approach to dealing with the language barrier will benefit both visitors and locals equally. Those who are 'functionally bilingual' -- I'm talking about the ones that have working social, communication skills in both the English and Korean languages could share their contact info/term of stay in Korea/availability/area of knowledge, so new comers to Korea can help reduce their anxiety level and enjoy their stay.

As for my area of knowledge, I have interest or experience in business law, ethics, buddhism, anatomy, physiology and technical communications. I used to volunteer at Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary and Canadian Cancer Society in Windsor, ON.

What do you think? Any suggestions?
