JAYKEEOUT : Talking to Koreans in English (Are Koreans Good at English?!)
Recently, a friend of mine told me that he had some difficulties talking to Koreans in English. So I decided to put it to a test!
Are they REALLY bad at English?
Check for yourself! 😂😂

Are they really bad? I think NOT 😎
Let's talk on Instagram!! @jaykeeout
Me too! Hehe
you're videos are amazing 👌
+JAYKEEOUT I think the area and locale matters a lot. Co-Ex is a pretty bougie neighborhood in Korea. I think it's fair to suggest that economic differences lead to differential outcomes in speaking English for Koreans. If you have better access to education you probably speak better. I wonder if people in areas like Jeju Island or even like Daejeon or Busan would speak equal levels of English as do people in Apgujeongdong or Chungdamdong
+noah9100 Actually Korean can speak English but most of old Korean can't speak English well compare to with young people because when they learned English they focused to memorized grammar and vocabulary. they had less opportunity to develop their speaking skills than young Korean.
+noah9100 I totally agree.
He should have said "I know" in Korean when that one girl said he was cute. Just to surprise them
LOL that would've been funny haha
Ikr lol
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Heoll , I am really surprise the girl just say that in front of him hihihihi
Hahaha she only said it because she thought he couldn't understand what she way saying; how embarrassing. xD
idk why but i find it hilarious and amusing when he comes across people who have lived abroad, and two Aussies at that!
Darlagayle g
I agree lol
Same
See, this is a good social experiment. Entertaining, funny, actually teaches you a little bit (everyone commenting how Koreans seem nice) and still respectful and ethical - not outright offensive like that Muslim vs Christian extremism prank. Thank you, I actually learnt that "social experiments" can be good to watch.
EDIT
I am not saying anything about Muslims or Christians at all, I am commenting on how much better this video is than a certain video comparing and disrespecting both the Muslim and Christian religions. No offense meant to anyone.
+waimac1 Means a lot to me. Thank you 🙏🏻
Agreed.
+DatBoy Camani Hahaha who told you that Muslims treat Christians in a bad way ! You better learn before saying such a thing ! Seeing some bad Muslims does not mean that all Muslims are bad
+Yosr Rah ? I'm talking about the pranks that pertain to those two religions. But I don't want to go too deep into that subject on the probability that it may start a UA-cam war.
+DatBoy Camani So pranks does not mean that all Muslims are bad ! And if you don't want a UA-cam war why to comment such a thing ! Anyone who reads this he will get angry !
4:36 was just sad
Candyopolus Party 😂😂😂 ikr
maybe she's deaf?
People get too attached to there phone
Ikr😂
It reminded me of that specific BTS song lol
"Excuse me? Ok bye.." 😂😂 He's so cute come back to New Zealand!
Jeonwonton Hello fellow Kiwi 🙋🏼
I live in NZ as well
Crystal Pare ayyyy South island boyoo
I laughed too😂
you're right... Oh my God... he is very cute
The most interesting thing I've seen here is that most Koreans are kind enough to accompany you to the place where you want to go instead of telling you how to get there. That's soo niiice 😇
It’s a good experiment but I would like to see if they would be willing to help a non Asian person
I am sharing my experience, If they know the way, they will help else they will say No. They do help everyone regardless of Nationality
Then go and see by yourself
haha don`t worry we love more than non asian
belive me! kk
savewinwin2k18 are there a lot of racist in Korea?
@@Crouton- yes, exactly, especially for black people
The guy with the really strong Australian accent surprised me lol
he sounds sexy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍 i swear the accents give me life
+(케이재) K.j.Wright I'm an Australian and I noticed that he speaks so naturally
+(케이재) K.j.Wright tbh i agree,
like dayum
+jellybun12 Typical Aussie response too, "Nah nah nah, it's alright." Lol
Lissia J85 haha damn straight
LOL at that awkward moment he approached that lady that ignored him LOOOL
LOL "okay byeeee"
he played it off well though 8)
she's really focused and he's speaking in a language she doesn't understand, it's normal.
i would've started crying lmao so embarassing
I loved that the music stopped suddenly at that moment. I couldn't help but laugh at the awkwardness of it all.
Everyone was so friendly and willing to help. So much respect for them :')
most of the Koreans in Korea, speak english really well, even with english accent (based on my experience when I was having my vacation there). they even know how to speak speak chinese & some in malay language (my mother tongue)!
hey starlight XD
뭐라고 kekekeke. 나 부끄러워.
+Zika Xiah hongbin♡
+omg liy yes. most of them u can see at Myeongdong,the street seller (do we call them that? sorry). When they saw me they will ask whether Im Malaysian n spoke in Malay fluently.Maybe bcz off many tourists from China and Malaysia, Indonesia, they r able to speak well in those languages .I also met wh Koreans who studied n speak Indonesian once.
+연지 yes!
This is so pure. Everyone was so nice.
I think most people spoke surprisingly good English. Most impressive though was how kind and helpful they were.
Whenever we got lost in Korea, the locals would assist us in the same way. They're really kind. One guy found out we were on the wrong subway and he escorted us to all the right connections (he was going the same way) and he even got us seats during rush hour. He was also crazy drunk and scolded my mom for only having one child, which was hilarious. Favorite part of my trip. XD
일본에서 몇년 살았는데 그전까진 내가 영어를 엄청나게 못하는사람이라 생각하고살았는데 일본에 살면서 일본어를 잘 하는편이 아니라 가끔 영어로 물어보면 일본인들이 엄청당황...ㅡㅂㅡ;;; 나보고 영어권에서 살았냐고 묻는사람도 있었어요 그후로 영어가 두렵지 않아요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국인들은 현지인처럼 할수 있지않으면 못한다고 생각하는것같아요 제친구들이 한국인들은 완벽주의자라고 막 그러는데 그건 체감을 못하고 살아서 잘 모르겠지만 외국인들은 한국인을 완벽주의자이면서 피드백이 엄청나게 스피디하다고 생각하더라구요 한국인들은 생각과 동시에 말하고 행동해서 놀랍다 라고들해요
일리는 있네요 .. 근데 반대로 저는 자존감을 상실한게
길가다가 외국인이 where is massage ? 를 묻는데 마사지 발음도 제대로 못알아들어서 헤매다가 slowly please 해서 마사지를 간신히 알아들어서 가르쳐준적이 있는데 ... 아... 단어 외우면뭐하나.. 마사지도 못알아듣네.. 이러면서 갔죠..
한우청정도시 외국인들도 혀짧은 한국인들처럼 발음새고 안좋은 클리셰있는 사람도 있으니까 라고 생각하시면 좋지않을까요? 천천히 말하는거 듣고 알아들으신거잖아요? ^^

I’ve been to Korea for almost a month, and i can say that most of the locals couldnt conversate that well but they are very much willing to help you. Love that girls reaction at the end tho 🤗
english for what?? I want to learn Korean ahihi =)))))
Tiêu Mẫn Korean for what??? ahihi =)))))
lol
you should note that English is an international language and the most important thing that everyone in the world should know and speak it well in order to comunicate with foreigners or people who are not originally from your own country
Hoàng Lâm Võ but that shouldn't be the case. English isn't the #1 language in the world. don't force anyone to learn English bc someone else can't understand what another individual is saying. English is also the most difficult language to learn for non-speakers. A lot of slang, and so many unnecessary words. Some English speakers need to open their minds and try and learn other languages instead of forcing foreigners to learn it.
onnolee at the very least, everyone(eg.non-native English speakers) should know the basics of English in case they are asked to help a foreign or they go to another country whose official language is not English. English is taught almost all parts of the world cuz you know, it's an international language. I do not force everyone to speak English well or fluently, i just recommend them to learn and know it first things first before learning another language
I laughed when that girl in the cafe gave him a HI 5, like it looked really eager to give him a hi 5 haha.
some of Korean have a mix from canada, America, Australia... the nowadays Korean is different, they are not bad at English at all except for the oldest generation....
Tae WinBang90 nope i can tell you they are still bad even young gen. Some good guys are just special cases
I'm not surprised, most Koreans are smart and did get a good education in English!!
most koreans study english abroad.. Philippines, Australia etc.
사람들이 다른나라가서 우리나라말로물어보면 답해주는갓도 아닌데 자기가 여행왔으면 오기전에 그나라말 배워야지
..라고 하면서 외국말로 물어보면 자기는 대답 안해줄거라는 사람들이 있으신데,
개인적으로 자신의 여행갈 나라의 언어는 어느정도는 배워둬야겠지만,
영어나 자기나라말로 물어봐도 그나라말을 구사할줄알면 대답해주는게 좋다고생각.
물어보려니까 갑자기 머리속이 새하얘질수도있고,
자신이 배워둔문장이 아닐수도있고, 일부분은 아는데 영어랑 한국어 혼합해서 쓰면 이상하니까 그냥 영어를 썼을수도있다고 생각함.
그렇지 않더라도 알고있음 대답해주는게 좋을것같음.
it's nice to see the koreans are so nice with foreigners :) i hope i could go there someday... :)
I know for a fact that most schools have english classes so any student may know basic english, but not a really spot on English
You're in a place where most people are from a certain economic class and thus you'll have a greater chance of finding people who speak English, so this experiment doesn't disprove your friends observation.
Aww the people the tried to take him to the places are kind
...it seems that a lot of Koreans are coming home to Korea... they came from Canada, Australia, New Zealand...so English is not a problem to them...
5:53 She's ready to throw hands 😂 Just kidding she's cute
Korea is such a fashion capitol
so many australians! me too! australians gather~!
These videos make me so happy T_T
When they said he looks cute and the cool emoji popped up I burst into laughter 😂 lol that was adorable 🤣
Dang my dude rocking the €800 euro canada goose jacket
"He looks cute"
I'm so dead! x'DDD
what ? where ? when ?
i'll haunt You After 3:50 x'DD
Oh 😂😂 isn't he already cute ?
i'll haunt You Yesm he is cute. She did,'t lie... 😂
Miyuki Tsukino hahah that's what I thought
korean people are so polite, even if they don't know english that well, they're so kind

Lee Kai that was something I would say if a cute foreigner was around lol
Lee Kai he understands it 😎
"How long would it take? 5 minutes? 3? 2? 5? 1? 10 seconds? " Lool 😂 😂
Lol o.o she was like...'wtf!! Give me a second to answer!!! Well i cant even breathe!!' Hahahah :p
Kwon Daniel. hahaha yes it was a hilarious moment!!!
I'm in Japan . Damn the Koreans are beating us in English! lol
at*
at English
Aooni TV lol
I thought Japanese people had slight better English.
Lol Im learning Japanese
DannyMations lol they dont speak a word.
it's very sad when a Korean knows English better then an English person
lol really?
서정진
yes
I encounter it too often and watching this video I see that Koreans understand English words better then most English people
they're also on the other side of the planet and speak it better then french, dutch, ect which is also equally as sad
+spong mongler most of dutch people speak English really well!! true not the best grammar and pronunciation but we all have to learn English, French and German at school. i'm actually surprised you mentioned Dutch people, do you have any experience with that? ( i don't mean to be rude or anything, i'm just curious:) )
Boy bye
Dina Ata
I've had many experiences where dutch people (mostly because I tend to run into them the most) don't understand any of the words
I can say "I'm hungry" for example and they'd say "that's not the right answer" which makes no sense whatsoever but it is probably just the types of people I get stuck with sorry for the confusion
the faces of betrayal when u tell them u can speak Korean hahah
hahaha
Marshall Cross they're like trying hard to speak English then like when he tells them he can speak Korean they be like "why didn't u tell me earlier OMG...I feel so betrayed right now" hahah maybe tho...might be just me thinking that
Elle Goh exactly hahaha
YEAH HAHAHA

외람된 말씀입니다만 말레이시아 필리핀은 영어를 잘하는 나라에 속합니다. 특히 말레이시아는 남녀노소 잘 사는 사람 못 사는사람 구분 할 것 없이 영어를 잘합니다. 필리핀사람들도 대부분 영어를잘하는편이구요.
필리핀 사람들이 영어 잘해서 한국 사람들이 영어 배우러 가요.............잘사는 나라가 영어를 잘하는 것이 아니라, 식민 경험이 있는 나라가 영어를 잘합니다.스패인 프랑스 독일 사람들 영어 잘 못합니다. 제가 가봤거든요. 그리고 일본 사람들은 한국 사람보다 영어 더 못하는데, 세계 GDP 3위입니다. 물론 영어를 배우는 것은 중요하지만 그것보다 더 중요한 것이 애국심과 강한 민족성입니다. SAMSUNG 회장도 영어 못합니다.
KIM CHI
영어를 잘해야 경쟁력 있는건 사실이죠. 맞는 말 하신거같은데. 굳이 GDP 로 따지자면 어쩔수없지만 현실에서 외국계 회사는 영어못하는 한국사람보다 노동력도 싸고 영어도 잘하는 필리핀 사람을 선호함. 절대 한국 사람을 비하하잔 의도가 아니라 너무 안타까워서 하는 얘기임. 한국사람처럼 일 잘하고 머리 좋고 손재주 좋은 사람들도 없는데 주변에 능력자들중에 영어때문에 길 막히는 사람 많이 봤음. 필리핀이 그나마 먹고 살수있는것도 영어를 잘하니까 노동력을 쉽게 수출할수있어서임. 애국심 민족성 중요하지. 근데 그것도 다 지킬 힘이 있어야 지키는거임. 헬조선 헬조선 하는데 우리나라도 노동력을 쉽게 수출할수있으면 더 힘있는 나라가 될거임. 자꾸 위에서 역사, 민족성 강조하면서 외국어의 중요성을 약화시키는데 결국 그 윗사람들 자식들은 미국, 캐나다, 영국으로 유학가서 아니면 국제학교 보내서 영어배우고 잘먹고 잘산다. 왜 민족성이 중요한데 자기 자식들은 외국물 먹으면서 자기 국적도 헷갈리게 하냐. 그만큼 영어를 잘하면 경쟁력이 있어서임. 주변에서 지겹게 봤음. 그런거 보면 진짜 안타까움.

That's great. You found so many korean that speak english. I was not so lucky tho. When I was in seoul and trying to ask people in english, I got ignored.. A lot! But I was so deeply moved when an old man trying so hard to understand me eventhough he doesn't understand english. Love korean!
lmao when I lived in Seoul, I was try to communicate in Korean and people ALWAYS responded back in Japanese. I asked my friend why they keep doing that and he said it was because my hair was blond lol

I not from an english speaking country but I can actually speak english. I even joined an english debate contests. But whenever I talk to a real english speaker I get nervous and shy. I'm scared that I might screw my grammar and I might not be able to talk as fast as them. and the conversations would become so awkward. That's why I don't like to start a conversation with foreigners.
sonia jayanthi I am an English speaker and I always get nervous when I have to talk to my mom's friend who speaks Spanish . I feel like I am going to say something stupid. I am pretty sure it's natural to have that reaction.
sonia jayanthi Where are you from?
2ne1 Pilots I'm from Indonesia.
sonia jayanthi cool
2ne1 Pilots thanks. you too. Hey! Uhm.. 2ne1 had just been disbanded. Rip 💔
All of these people are so friendly^^
In America, someone would kindly give you directions, but they offered to walk you there. That's so wonderful~
Seriously._. the only time you'd get that in the US is mayybbee a grocery store.
Karaleigh Loya mostly yeah. some of us(even me)are pretty rude
Karaleigh Loya lol depends where you live, in small towns like the one I live in everyone is pretty helpful when it comes to directions or stuff like that and will start small talk 😂
Koreans are super friendly and polite so I'm not saying this to take away from that, but a big part of the reason a lot of them offered to walk him there is because trying to explain complex directions in English was too difficult for some. It was just easier to walk him there.
+It'sRobert you right, sometimes it's risky asking for help in a hurry because a lot of people are conversation clingers and want to chat too much.
lol that part when he was ignored XD wish I could go to korea♥♡♥

Ana Lee try asking people for directions in the streets... people ignore u and dont even look at you when you ask
Daniel Kim but i did asked a couple on the street about direction n they helped .. guess i met good people
koreans r so polite
they b trying to guide u to the place ur looking for
so true.. they r very respectful people
thx :)
Happy to hear that!:)
what about trying it out on the streets
It also helps if you look Asian...just saying
Based on internationals studies top 5 asian countries who are good in english
1.Philippines
2.India
3.Singapore
4.South korea
5.Indonesia
Bob Valentine + Germany
real__mna i mean in asia only
how about malaysian ? i've been there before . majority malaysian people were good in english .
iman zakwan probably maybe it's one of the top 10 asian country who's good in English but not in the top 5.
Pakistan is great in english too. Its their official language
They are good at english in this video But i'm not😭😭
you do speak english and you know basics so that's more than okay because many people won't even try
Kim min joo right? it's actually not easy to learn another language. im like struggling to learn Korean so its okay :)
practice makes perfect! yet nobody's perfect, so why practice?. .oh I'm just kidding!.. but kidding aside, you do know how to compose English at written, so that's a great start, all you have to do is to speak it out and it'll get better. #fighting
+grapes playyy my gush same here.! I've been trying.. nah.. still like a robot. haha
they r Korean but most of them have been studying aboard or they don't even live in Korea.
The good thing is, they don't only tell you the direction but they also try to take you there. I have no doubt now that Korean people are one of the kindest ppl i've ever met.
+Oumeima tuan its not kindness.its patriotism and helping someone in need.
+Oumeima tuan I'm Korean, I think most of Korean might think explaining the direction is too hard to us even me. So, I thought myself taking them to their destination is easier than explaining about it! lol Yeah, Anyway, Korean are very kind even in rush hour!
+Oumeima tuan I suppose Koreans are generally so nice, there's no need for stranger danger
+Wester G most of asians are like that :)
The last girl you spoke to looked so done when you stated speaking Korean xD
The Australian girl doh
Her: “and you don’t know the way?”
Me: “nope only de wae”
I remember Dewey 😂
No. Stop.
Dead meme skskskks
i like how he asked them in korean after and let them know its an experiment.
He has to get their permission to show them in the vid or else their faces have to be blurred out haha
The last interaction was best, but notice how he says around 5'24 "any bank, mo shinhan, woori..." mo=뭐 which is korean and in this context means "well like shinhan woori..." :)
+Daniel Kim hahhaah you got me there!
I noticed this too😂
+Daniel Kim they most likely wouldn't notice, because they would just process the word like we do in english
and the way he pronounced woori was too Korean haha

I remember back when I was a kid, some white guy needed help communicating with someone and my mom started speaking Engish fluently. I didn't even know that she can speak English lol (This was before I moved to the states) lol my face was like :O

사람들이 이렇게 영어를 잘한단말이야??... 난 뭐임 ㅠㅜ
I guess you didn't study English so hard from your school life
@팀짱님 well, my rebuttal to your opinion is Koreans don't even know Grammar perfectly. even though they studied English grammar really hard tho. I think if they had studied english so hard in their school, they wouldve been really good at english. like people in this video. (No Offense.)

I don't get WHY some people here get mad and go all like "they in kurrea, so they speak kurrean, why would they need to speak englush in kurrea, when they r kurreen", b*tch he literally said it at the start of the video, why he did it. tone down the attitude lol wtf
Jee ok sorry but it's Korea, Korean, Korea and Korean xD
and English
He obviously spelled it like that on purpose.
Kristoffer Szczerbicki Music
She and yes LOL i was feeling a bit extra that time haha
i say btYES
just to confirm, yes i was being extra XD
Brah when I was lost in korea no one spoke English around me XD so I legit struggled with my Korean...and when that didn't work I just used google translate
Honestly this video just proves my experiences while I visited Korea. Whenever I asked for help people would literally stop what they’re doing and take me where I needed to go. Best time I had. Can’t wait to go again
Same here
He has a good sense to find people who can actually speak English though xD
I can't help to think that maybe they were nice because he's asian. Like, I wonder how would react with a real foreign person, like if they would pretend not to speak the lenguage.
mvc1412 that's true but I actually had a pretty good experience at this exact location he was at when I was asking for help and ordering in english
Ros Snave Good to know :)
Most are really helpful. I lived there a year
meralys21 I'm glad to know that :D
I currently live in Korea and can vouch that most Koreans will help you regardless of whether or not they speak english. Usually they actually want to talk to a foreigner in English because they want to practice it. If they don't speak it, usually they will try to use body language to help me, or direct me to a worker, or friend who speaks it. They're very nice people :)
Korean people are lovely! I went to Seoul last summer, and everybody offered us help when we were looking at the subway map, even If we didn't ask for help xD People aproach to us, and speak to us in English "Do you guys need help? Where are you going?" and even If we know where to go, they try to help us more, and a lot of times they take us to the correct platform in the subway and wait with us for the train to come to be sure that we don't get lost, so cute!! Also I was so lost looking for my hotel without GPS, so I ask in my poor korean to a guy in his store. The lovely man CLOSED his store and take me walking to my hotel!!! Love korean people, they are very kind
Red Ivy omy so nice!!
Red Ivy because your so pretty
That's incredible! Thank you for sharing :D
Only because you're white though. Nothing against you but they are actually quite racist.

Actually, some Koreans do speak Japanese pretty well, as well as Chinese. It's kind of common here.
For real, I was shocked at how little English most of the people in Tokyo spoke vs. people in Seoul. In Seoul everyone knows English, or at least the basic to help you.
Lucius i mean, koreans are good at speaking english than japanese does -__-
Lucius wtf mo ding hayup ka
Calvin ivan Hahaha dapat sinabi mo wtf gago ka hehe joke lang
우와..... 영어 할 줄아는 사람만 편집해서 올린거 아니죠? 음.... 영어를 다들 유창하게 하시네...

Jae Jae ?무슨 말씀이시죠?ㅎㅎ
ofc they speak English you're in a mall. Try the fish market and see if they speak English.
I went to Tokyo and I tried to speak English looking for places or asking about this and that (but it was for real lol not an experiment) and it was about 50:50, like taxi drivers normally can speak a few words, information desks usually can speak very well, shop attendance also can speak well... but like, normal people, or security staff I met, they can't really respond, even when I'm at popular tourism spots. I gave up speaking English after a while and just asked around in Japanese with how little vocabulary I have T_T but I know ZERO Korean so I'm a bit reluctant to visit it....
***** I think I know what they feel,, it's probably the same difficulty I find when I attempt to pronounce Korean words haha! Japanese pronunciation is easy for me, I'm Indonesian and our pronunciation are the same (with exception for the letter L). But Korean is too different T_T
oh you :)

Are you ok? Mostly ppl in local market is old people or young ppl with less education, and they're don't have interesting or they don't need to know English to sells veggie, meat or fish!!!
Mostly of them can say "hi,goodbye,good,no,yes,best,etc.." I see nothing wrong, you cant express everybody can speak English special for these people who don't have nothing to worry about speak for their whole life!
22 Pandas I never said it is wrong not to speak English. I just think it would be better for this experiment if he seeks the average Korean person to speak English to. And I think the average Korean person doesn't hang out in (fancy) malls. If he goes to the market he will meet everyday people.
한국은 영어는 못하는데 알아는 듣는 기괴한 나라
Maybe..fact
내가 그래 ㅜㅜ 말을 못해 젠장
듣는 교육은 오질라게 시켜서 또 기똥차게 잘 알아들음
정작 말하는 건 젬병인데
격공...나도 어느정도 알아듣는데 말을 못함...누군가 귀가 트이면 입이 트인다고 하던데.....아닌거 같음
영어때문에 쓰는돈이 국가적으로 일년에 얼만데 저정도도 안된다면 어륀쥐를 비롯해서 전국민이 변기물에 코박아야지
that is sometimes a misconception about koreans,chinese,japanese and shall I say some of the asian countries ..people really think of us like we don't understand and know how to speak the language .. But we really do 😂😂 thank you for making this video
***** independent korea
I am not saying this because i am Korean, but i think Koreans speak better English than others. I've actually been to China and Japan, and most of the people didn't know how to speak ENG. When I went to WEMUN, Chinese people wasn't able to understand what chair was saying.
+BigLizMac actually Koreans tend to be better at English because the education system pushes English education more on children. For instance, Japan puts less emphasis on learning English as a foreign language, so the students tend to be poorer English users. Your example with coffee being pronounced kuppi in Korean would be pronounced as kohee and you tell me which is easier to understand. As with Chinese students, the socioeconomic class of the student dictates their fluency with English because China is technically in a developing stage. Older generations will not necessarily have had the opportunity to learn English and younger generations have opportunity depending on background.
+BigLizMac it's really a matter of historical need. Japan doesn't have to push English as heavily as Korea because it's post war reconstruction period was not as heavily transformative as korea's. Korean education pushed English because it needed western allies to put pressure on Japan and China to stop bullying Korea into unfavorable political policies. This can be the mentality in a lot of parents pushing English education on their children. A large amount of my friends in Korea are completely fluent in English with good accent because of how heavily their parents pushed them to study hard and use the knowledge to help the country
Again, I really have to assert that it isn't a "nationwide thing" for Chinese and Japanese thing either so I really don't see your point. Additionally as an expat, I really have doubts about your "nationwide" experience with both Chinese and Japanese nor the cultural intimacy you share with East Asians in general.
wow looks like every korean had lived in canada australia us in the past
haha I would try it again farther from Gangnam/Jamsil :) I think if you were by Sindorim or Yeuido there may be a little bit of a difference :) I lived in Guemchoen and finding english speakers was more difficult! (I did notice that the 20-30 age group had the best grasp of English though! :) )
Or up in the 60-70 age group. They suffered the Korean War and had quite interactions with American Army.
맞아요... 항 상 우리는 영어를 안배우면 쪽팔려하는데...
꼭 그렇지 않다는게 밝혀졌네요 왜 항상 외국인이 한국와서 지들언어로 이야기하는데 왜 응답해 줄때 영어나 일어로해줘야하는지 이해안갔어요
한국인은 한국어를 하는게 맞죠
문동석 최소한의 간단한 한국어라도 배우고 오시든가..ㅜㅜ

Only korean celebrities cant speak english 😂😂
My Self hahahha omg
But you are pretty good in English.

+市釧路 LMFAO. You literally have Koreans telling you off. Just shut the fuck up loser.
+Sok-WOn Song i like a good science joke *slow claps*
I think this shows that Caucasians get the impression that Koreans are bad at English because Koreans get nervous when they suddenly confront one lol
+Yuja H This has been my experience, It's generally more stage fright than not knowing.
+Yuja H Maybe he could have an experiment to know the difference between the responses where a Caucasian and a Native looking person approached them asking in English.
Fer G True!
+Yuja H I definitely think so. I live in Korea and am white and I also speak Chinese. I noticed a lot of my Korean friends get really nervous when trying to speak with native Chinese
+Yuja H korea and japan have the worst education when it comes to spoken english
모국어가 영어가 아니니깐 영어를 못하는게 당연한 일 아닌가...
맞습니다 ~ 공감.... 하지만 할 줄 안다면 더 많은 재미가 있고 인생이 조금은 달라질 수도 있겠지요..
이름 뭘로 하냐 못한다고 지적질하는 영상은 아닌거같은데... 자격지심 쩌네
No lo recomiendo en esas circunstancias
영상의 요점은 그게 아닌데...
못하는거 비웃으려 만든영상이 아닌데뭘 ㅋ
koreans are so nice and polite. even tho they didn't know the directions, they'd still try to figure it out. idk, koreans just seem really polite and really did try to guide him
YASS army
Glad to hear that :)
OFC! if there are polite people, there are rude people as well
thank you..as a Korean A.R.M.Y 😆
Lol koreans are familiar with english cuz its a second language meaning their schools have english classes. I think the asian country with the best english based on general proficiency would be the phillipines.
Yes. Definitely, the Philippines.
+TypicalTeen singapore?
I love google Well, Singapore is obvious because that's one of the main languages. But we're talking like other countries which are not at all acquainted with English.
+Fade Away English is the official language of The Philippines beside Tagalog. You can see a lot of announcement written in English there.
No. Chinese is like, their second language.
다른나라가보시면 아시겠지만 우리나라는 영어잘하는편임 일본가서 영어로 물어봤다가 진짜 핵암걸릴뻔.. 친절하긴한데 영어는 잘못하더라구요

When I was in Korea a Korean was asking me for directions but I couldn't understand because I'm from Australia and wasn't from there 😂😂
Eleisha May What a cool strange name. Are you a girl by any chance?
Thanks I suppose, and yeah, I'm a girl.
Same thing happened when I spent my summer holidays in Korea few months ago 😂😂 the one who asked for direction was from USA and I was like “I’m foreigner too” 😂😂 that poor guy was mind-blown
As an American on of our biggest tropes in the movies is that all Asians look alike. Which we Asian Americans always blown off as the ignorance of America. I was stationed in Korea with no Korean blood in me (I'm part Chinese, Japanese, Filipino but mainly from Guam) and I was surprised at all the Koreans coming at me thinking I was Korean.
우리나라 정도면 영어 잘하는거지 이해못한다고? 거의 이해는 할걸? 말을 못해서 그렇지 얼마나 생각을 많이 하는데

Hahaha just with your accent I can hear you're korean :p well nice video
yup he does have a slight accent n u can tell that he's definitely not a native!
Byung Woo Kim yes exactly !
Sabrina Sôma but koreans definitely can't recognise that accent bc they aren't native speakers of english haha
Berenice Chye Oh really ? very interesting, btw i'm not native english also :3
i hear his korean accent. i'm a korean and i've never been in english speaking countries.
A lot of Koreans have lived in Canada. I thought I would hear people say they lived in LA but nop more from Canada maybe I should move to Canada then.
yes i used to live there too
They only come here to study then leave though :c Koreans in USA usually live there with their family and stay there
Same with England!
침 침 you went back to Korea?
Katiwa really? I knew a guy who stayed in Canada I guess he is just one of the few exceptions.
Umm. It's like Spanish and French, we have to learn it in school but we just don't want to learn it 😜😜
They learn English
We learn it and we WANT TO learn. We're not like you~
I'm in the US and I'm teaching myself korean and spanish lol
Bishplis yeah they do it’s one of the classes nearly everyone takes. They probably don’t wanna invest a future in the language travel wise and stuff so that’s why they’re not good at it, but English is like the universal language of the world typically everyone has at least a reasonable amount under their belt, that’s why ppl don’t die when they travel lol they don’t learn the language fluently, everyone just learns English just as their backup when for studies, travel, work, and understanding media cause tbh w all these big Hollywood movies I’d get sick of subtitles in movie theatres I’d wanna understand through and through
이곳은 서울의 강남에 있는 코엑스몰... 대도시라 젊은이들도 많고 그 중 영어 잘하는 사람들도 많았던 것일 수도 있을 것 같다. 다른 지역은 또 다른 결과가 나올 듯 하다.
this video only proovs Koreans are generally nice people
I lived in Korea and I have to say that most young Koreans do speak English pretty well! Compared to Chinese or Japanese people, it is really good haha
Oh are you sure?
Really depends where in each country. I find it is pretty similar in those countries. Japan is pretty up there in proficiency. But this opinion is also biased per person, so it's not necessarily good to make your opinion sound like it's almost a fact. xD
OMG THEY ARE SO NICE!
I hope I get the chance to study there soon and meet all the nice people! :D
omggg same 😍😍 and I am trying my best to learn korean but damn ;-;
+Shayma Ould Amer same here!!
+Arisa Chan No, they are two faced, and fucking racist towards all people.
