Wow, the American lady at the end nailed it. Wish more people had her attitude.

[inner.aloha.matters]

That last lady had an awesome perspective of being a guest in Korea, right on!

[jessicahassock]

Its kind of crazy and weird to be living in another country thats not your own and not learn at least some of the language.

[formoftherapy]

Bro I’m ready to join the Indonesian fighter’s fan club when she debuts. She’s so cool omo

[armada]

We are just afraid of speaking English, not foreigners.

[becachevra]

Imagine going to live in a whole different country and not even making an effort to learn at least a little bit of their langhuage... smh. Lady at the end saying "I think as a foreigner here, it's my responsability to be respectful of those and not expect the people to change for me". That's a great advice to all people who like to travel and/or want to move abroad!!

9:30 this american lady said the most important : learn the language and above everything respect local people and "adjust your attitude"
Also how can you criticize people not to speak english ?

[unleashingpotential-psycho]

I suspect that in Korea, there may be preferential treatment for people with lighter skin and worst treatment for people with darker skin.

[kijungpaik]

The American guy with sunglasses seems really cool and understanding, much respect bro!

[Vegan_mister]

When they say there's "over a million foreigners in Korea" they mostly refer to Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, other Asian nationalities etc... 95% of foreigners are of Asian nationalities, not from other places in the world.

[iskramblol]

In the Philippines, There are so many Chinese people who are living in our country but never even try to learn our language. What annoys me more is some of them disrespects other filipinos. Do not go to a foreign country if you think the all people there are gonna make adjustments for you!

[believingdream]

Guy with the hat and glasses was pretty on-point. I think for the most part people don't really care if you're a foreigner, but you'll always be one no matter what.

[crystaljay]

This is why I plan on studying the language before I visit.

[ELCHE]

YOU ARE IN A FOREIGN WHY SHOULD THEY SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE????

[idontgiveafuck]

Why have i never seen a korean guy with a beard

[felicia]

I love the American lady she’s so right about how ppl should adjust to the country and not the other way around ❤️

[lalaladyvk]

The girl from Indonesia was so pretty. Her skin color is perfect 👌 so nice. Plus she is sporty!? Girl crush 💜

I've been in korea, and I gotta say they are pretty polite, they always tried to help me when I got confused. I have one interesting story, when I got to Busan airport, I didn't have cash, just credit card and i couldn't get any cash from it, I asked to the bus drive how could I pay the travel, he says I could pay it once I get to the place (Haeundae Beach). I took the bus and when I got there, bus driver told me It was ok, he picked me for free. I was very grateful because of that. I thanked him with my broken korean. Now I know more korean and I hope to return some day. Korean people are very lovely and the country is very safe and it has a lot studying opportunities. Greetings from Colombia!

[chachi]

I went to korea last month with my broken korean that I learned before my trip. I travelled alone and let me tell you one thing, if people see that you are struggling they are always willing to help you when you ask for help. I've met the nicest people in korea. I made a lot of friends as well and i'm planning to go back asap

4:26 “If there is a language barrier, the Koreans bear the whole burden because they never put it on you...” Wow, that is very thoughtful of them. If this is how every random person treats everyone else, man, the world would be a much better place. S.Koreans and Japanese people really are great setters of example. Let’s follow suit people!
