Language

안녕하세요, 저는 제임스입니다………… 

Does that make sense to you?  If not, how about joining the majority of foreigners who try to learn at least a little Korean.

It’s certainly not a requirement for you to know Korean to live there but it will definitely benefit you if you were to learn even just a few words. 

Here’s a list of some great resources:

Books

There are so many books available now for you to study from. We’d recommend investing in a set of books which increases in difficulty as you go progress. Below are three excellent sets of books:

Survival Korean – Steven Revere

Korean Made Easy – Seung Eun Oh

Hollym Listening Korean For Beginners (Also Reading/Writing books)

Good luck!!
