Comments by "Asian Prince" (@asianprince8718) on "How Good Are Koreans At English? | Street Interview" video.

  1. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Back to the topic ‘HOW GOOD KOREANS ARE AT ENGLISH’, I think most Koreans speak English fluently. When I was traveling there, I had to use English to talk to them. Most of them responded me in fluent English. They were very nice too! I think as long as you know a little bit English if you cannot speak Korean while visitng or living there, no problem. I also had some conversation with Koreans in English when visiting there, I had some conversation with them in English, I told them my life in Taiwan, they taught me the culture of Korean. And, some Koreans knew how to speak Chinese, making my trip there easier. Also, almost all shopping centers there had information centers that could help in English, very convenient. Asian Boss, please interview Taiwan on " how good Taiwanese are at English." Thanks.

  2. She spoke English quite fluently tbh. Do you think she probably spent some years in America or Australia?
    20
  3. You mean the questions that they asked Koreans in English are easier than they asked Japanese?
    13
  4. Huh? If you were speaking of Asian languages that Ameicans speak, most of them chose Chinese and Japanese to study. Few chose Korean. I have a feeling Korean language will become another popular language Americans want to study.

  5. Koreans are very good at many things. Usually, they were taught to study hard and work hard in order to become successful when they were little, similar to other Asian countries, also mine is like that. That is why Korea is progressive. Do you plan to visit there?
    7
  6. Huh? Why? I never experienced anything like that when visiting.
    6
  7. @pokepork  Their older or middle aged people speak English fluently as well. If they cannot they can still use some English vocabulary to help one out. Almost their guide books have English.
    6
  8. Where did you see that happen?
    5
  9. Some said, if you understand the language of the country you visit, you can better understand their history, culture and society?
    5
  10. It depends on where in Japan you visited.
    4
  11.  @1412Bunny  A lot of Koreans have "studying abroad in English countries" experience.
    4
  12. @Twosiee  I am not someone good at history. Do you think probably long time ago, Mainland China had a strong influence in Korea?
    3
  13. @寿司 デーモン  Some people learn English because of the Hollywood movie or American influence since they were born. Do you speak Japanese? I heard if one knows Japanese, one could learn Koreans very easily.
    3
  14. What about Taiwan and China? What do you think of their English education systems?
    3
  15. May I ask what are your favorite anime and games? Happy new year

  16. Learning English has been a hot topic in Asia for decades. In my place, they emphasize on grammar. Knowing grammar would be the key to decipher many English phrases. K Pop and J Pop is trending I guess. Do you follow J Pop? I have been to Korea and come across some people. I spoke English to them to ask road directions and other things, like where to go to buy cool stuff. Their English was very good.
    3
  17. Have you tried food stalls in Korea? Many of them understand English if they cannot speak fluently.
    3
  18. @T E  I see. Of course, most of them could speak English. Some struggled a bit but somehow they could answer and make it understandable for us. English is international language, but it could be difficult for grammar. I heard if one is good at music or piano, he might be learning English faster?
    3
  19. There could be foreigners visiting there, they might need English assistance.
    3
  20. Do you think English will become the official language in Korea some day?
    3
  21. Korea is one of popular Asian countries for tourists, many of them are from English speaking countries. The restaurants would prepare English menus when they come. They might also provide Chinese menus.
    3
  22.  @joehalliday6081  Are you in America now? Right now, if one could speak Mandarin, one could find lots of jobs in America ?
    2
  23. I don't know, but I think Korean pronunciation is kind of like Japanese in some ways... You feel the same?
    2
  24. @Deyoung Young  Are you from Korea? Do you think in the future Korea will open for immigration ? Becoming an immigration country like US and Europe?
    2
  25. Not everyone who first visited knew Korean words, even just one word.
    2
  26. L A Are you a native speaker of English country? Do native speakers sometimes struggle with grammar or phrases as they learn from school?
    2
  27. @The SeoulJourner  So unless Korea becomes an immigration country like USA, English will never become the official language there?
    2
  28. 首爾華人多啊！路邊很多賣吃的小攤販都會中文呢！
    2
  29. Hi are you a college teacher? Yes I heard that being afraid of making mistakes or being judged is why some people are not comfortable with speaking English in the public. Grammar mistakes, you know. I asked some people if native speakers of English countries also made some small mistakes while talking to others, they said not really. How about your experience ? Have you seen some native speakers made grammar mistakes ?
    2
  30. @Twan T  Sometimes I am confused about international age as my country's age system works the same as Korea. When using international age, is this how we calculate ? For example, if someone was born in March 1st in 1980, he would be considered age 0 if we calculate his age on March 1st, 1980. Correct ? He needed to wait until March 1st 1981 then his age would be 1 year old. Correct also? Thanks.
    2
  31. Sorry for not being able to understand your whole comment. You mean the people who did help you were the older people? How old were they like? And, did you enjoy your trip? Was the weather cold?
    2
  32. Preconceived ??? Do you mean you already had a feeling they spoke English well before watching the video?
    2
  33. Are you also learning Japanese? I was told its grammar works like Korean!
    2
  34. Him? 1:30
    2
  35. A lot of Taiwanese people love American movies.
    2
  36. May I ask what country you are from? Not sure about Korea but in many places of East Asia, English is a requirement at school.
    2
  37. Do you mean Korean grammar is quite difficult for American to learn ?
    2
  38. @Blessindisguise  I think one thing very special about Korea that foreigners should enjoy is that there are so many convenience stores that open 24 hours on daily basis, as is the case with my place! And, their convenience stores offer a variety of drinks people would enjoy, black tea, Korean corn tea or green tea. Have you drunk any of these? Are you from America?
    2
  39. @Anna Kurhajcová  Briefly speaking, learning through immersion means to find a hobby, and enjoy it in English?
    2
  40. @Nightriser271828  It depends on the location of Seoul. There are places where many Americans love to go, so those places have someone who speak fluent English. In some places, most tourists are Chinese, then you can expect the buyers there can speak both Korean and Chinese. Have you been to Korea? How was it?
    2
  41. Do you enjoy shopping and food in Seoul? When I was there, I bought some clothes and some LINE stuff. Do you know the app called LINE? Very popular in Asia.
    2
  42. The questions the host asked aren't difficult, isn't that how English conversation was carried out daily life? Yeah, their English are good, confidence is the key to master language.
    2
  43.  @McDaniels.  Huh? Why? Korea is a big country in terms of global economy and business. Foreign correspondents who are sent working in Korea also learn Korean language, as well as those who follow Korean drama.
    2
  44. In the air port, if she couldn't speak English, there should be other employees who speak.
    2
  45. Why? English is important if one country want to become a popular tourist attraction.
    2
  46. I would like to see Asian Boss make "how good are Australians at Mandarin"
    2
  47. Sorry I am not able to understand the whole comment... In your last paragraph, do you mean watching some American shows is a good way to learn English ?
    2
  48. 當然阿，但是聽阿斗仔說，鄉下的人大部分很難英文溝通，甚至只會台語不懂國語。不過，比手畫腳馬ㄟ通啊！
    2
  49. Hi Eric, I came across some Koreans in western countries, and I was like "wow, your English is as good as native speakers." Their English ability is very good. I think because they studied everything very hard, that is why. May I ask where you are from?
    2
  50. When did you visit there?
    2
  51.  @evelynemartin989  I heard French had been official language in Vietnam before? True?
    2
  52. I don't know... But some Korean drama were based on real life stories.

  54. @louisa isthankful  The trip to USA is also a good opportunity to speak with the locals so one's English sounds more native. Did they also hang out with Americans after school?

  65. I was told that Canada was a very peaceful country with a huge Asian population.... I would love to go there. Speaking of learning another language, I think if one is super interested in the language he learns, he would learn it quick and speak it fluently. It's like if you were fascinated to something, you learn it more effectively because you would do whatever to understand every detail of it...

  66. 韓國從來都不是啊！

  67. Rose... How about Chinese language and Japanese ?

  75. It's from cosplay...
    1
  76. I don't know about it. Did you live in hotels while visiting China? If hygiene was something you were concerned with, you should report it to front desk.
    1
  77. A. Where are you from? I had the similar experience in that I had almost no languages barrier when trying to ask them in English. A lot of them had studying abroad in English speaking countries....the young people especially. Did you enjoy your trip?
    1
  78. @Zerum A.  You mean In Korea, you could reach to any place for eating and fun very quickly without the need of driving ? I guess, so many 24 hours shops near hotels.
    1
  79. K Pop is trending this century! Are you American? I read that Korean movies are super popular among youth in US.

  80. Are you sure that is from Abyss Mage? Looks Ori the video game to me.
    1
  81. For example ?
    1
  82. Which part of the English makes you feel difficult? Speaking?
    1
  83. A lot of people said immersion is good way to learn English...I am still learning this word. What does immersion mean? To live in a place where people speak the language you want to learn?
    1
  84. I get your point. I think making grammar mistakes is what discourages people from speaking English as they learn. Grammar is a big challenge. Do you have any better ideas for quick learning English without making grammar mistakes ?
    1
  85. Kittens, is it common for people who speak their native languages making minor grammar mistakes? When they speak too quickly? Or it is rare?
    1
  86. @patgaming  Not only colleges, when you work internationally, don't you also speak English?
    1
  87. Differences like? Accent or...?
    1
  88. Miles? What does it mean? Distance?

    1
  93. @Joe Halliday  Sorry I am not able to understand. Do you mean French grammar has to change? Or its grammar is not working? Isn't French popular language too in the world?
    1
  94. There are some comments about that... The game looks fun.
    1
  95. @Y Park  No. The Philippines for example, they speak Tagalog first, but they consider English their official language.
    1
  96. In which ways?
    1
  97. Practice? You mean they should find a chance to speak with Americans in English in order to get better in that aspect?
    1
  98. Or topics like "how good are Taiwanese at Japanese" or " how good are Japanese at Chinese language" could be good idea. Learning new language could be fun.
    1
  99. 他英文不錯啊！
    1
  100. @Joe Halliday  Sorry a bit confused here? Descendancy? Do you mean nationals like Japanese, Koreans, Philippines and other East Asians, their ancestors were from Mainland China?
    1
  101. Have you been to Japan, Bruce?
    1
  102. Your experience with Korea travel is quite different from mine. I was traveling in Seoul and using English to communicate with them while some with Chinese. Many of them could understand, and if not they used gestures. Did you enjoy your stay in Korea?
    1
  103. Have you been to cosplay events?
    1
  104. Jake, I hope they do one soon. Last time they interviewed in Taiwan, I believe it was an year ago, topic is "what Taiwanese think of Chinese"

  105. @silver spoon  I haven't had time to play video games recently. I will try that one too. Do you have a PS5?

    1
  120. Thomas, does it mean they were of the same ancestry ? What about Japanese ? Chinese ?
    1
  121. @sari  When watching an American movie to learn English, sometimes it would be better to have a person or English teacher accompany you. I could understand the words in some conversation spoken by actors and actresses. However a confusion may happen. For example, we often hear "you bet" in the end of the conversation. You is the subject, and bet is the verb. At first, some would think, it means to ask someone to take a guess or do betting! However the real meaning is of course. That is something that might be challenging when learning English.
    1
  122. That would be good idea.
    1
  123. Is it Korean game? Lineage?
    1
  124.  @dorkanderson4963  Do you mean visitors who just stayed in Seoul for a week might not enjoy all, that they wanted to go again and enjoy?
    1
  125. N Have you been to Korea? Speaking of food, I think Korea cuisine is more spicy flavored, like their ramen and chickens. Korea is also well known for kimchi, but some people have a hard time getting used to eating it. Do you like kimchi as side dish?
    1
  126. @pol N  Why you cannot go there ? May I ask? Visiting Korea is very easy for many foreigners.

  127. @pol N  I thought it was visa problem or global pandemic, thanks for sharing.
    1
  128. Inner cities? Like? And why are they struggling with English?
    1
  129. Hirata, in some areas of Japan like Shibuya, Shinjuku, there are many Western restaurants where you can find foreigners to practice English...right?
    1
  130. There also are people who are afraid of making mistakes while learning English.
