I didn't find anything good or respectful from his questions that subtly criticize Korea for not having a lax immigration policy. I don't know where he's from, but it seems just about all blacks think that they should be allowed to immigrate to any country they want, especially if they are blacks in Africa.
I am Colombian and when I came to Australia to learn English my teacher was Australian but he cannot teach anything, to every question he just say “we speak like this” really not academic at all. Just because I speak Spanish doesn’t mean I can teach my language. 😅
Exactly!!!! And tbh, people who learn a language sometimes are even better teaching that language because they learn the grammar rules, etc. But native speakers don't care that much about that, and we just speak the way we know ahgshsgsgs
My Piano teacher was Russian, from Siberia and she was very strict haha, but she also liked me a lot, which was a bit weird sometimes and she treated her husband really bad, I always felt bad for him, he was a good guy and worked as a train conductor and she would always scream at him or use him as an example of a failure to me and her other students.
@@MisterPyOne Russian female piano teachers are just their own breed of humans I swear. I love my piano teacher and still get tea with her every month but she made me cry many times... many times. And I had piano lessons 3 times a week because my parents are insane so I saw her all the time. She never demeaned her husband though. They have a lovely relationship.
As an Irish person. I can literally picture your English teacher. Big annoyed head on him because you said I don't understand.. " what dya mean you don't understand.. I just told ye"... 😐😐😐
I have a friend who is brown skinned, was born in the UK and has lived there all her life so she's a native speaker. She got rejected for an English teaching job at a rather prestigious school that I referred her to because she didn't fit their image (i.e. white ) A fellow applicant from Germany with a heavy accent and subpar English speaking skills got the job. He was also less qualified. Image comes first to these people. Take this video for example, this girl has very good English but her grammar is a bit off. If someone with the same qualifications applied for the same English teaching job as her, with the only difference being their skin colour, I can almost guarantee you she would get the job.
In c-dramas, I laugh at the Russians portraying the Americans. I consider the movies higher end if they actually have Americans. Enjoy them regardless.
@Do.yoU_kn0w...me_1 Exactly my students are also divided 'bout it as well. Exams etc are based on AME. Nothing bad 'bout it tho'. It's how the standards are, and some countries are the same, too.
According to EPIK (English Program In Korea), the nationalities of public school teachers are limited to those from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, and India (due to a trade agreement with Korea). Candidates must have no criminal record and hold a bachelor's degree from a regular university. It's worth noting that the reason Koreans hire native English teachers isn't because there aren't any peiple who have English knowledge in Korea. There are plenty of people who understand English academically, especially considering the rigorous Korean college entrance exam. The goal of hiring native speakers is to gain insights into language nuances that only they can provide.
Also for proper accent. She speaks very good English but she clearly has an accent that a native speaker won't. I'm learning Chinese and for the same reason, I prefer to learn and imitate native speakers over westerners who have learnt Mandarin - even if they are good. I refer to westerners though as they can sometimes understand and communicate the struggles a native English speaker has adjusting to Mandarin, but that's it.
@@anamuerzaaguirre6790 Well, the English "teachers" Koreans ship to Korea are more for observation purposes. To let the kids see what "natural" AE sounds like. They aren't there to tech grammar. EDIT: Oh, and they do expect you to leave at some point. And not stay living in Korea.
I saw somebody else on yt mention something similar. They said native English speakers with no regional dialects were preferred. Only "proper" English speakers. They also mentioned some schools preferred only white, even blond teachers to make the parents feel like the kids would get the best instruction, even more than, say, an ethnic korean or asian who was was born and raised in the US, for example. Many schools don't seem as concerned about race, since there seem to be many black english teachers in sk. I always thought english teachers had to be fluent in korean as well, but that doesn't seem to be necessary.
@PotatoChipChippity no complaints as a candidate coz everyone has the right to hire someone they need. If not be able to satisfy, u should also know giving up the job and try to find proper one for yourselves. Why you complain about someone's need
Especially because some of these teachers are there with a Korean speaking teacher in the classroom, but they're many times not the main teacher. They're like the "foreigner who's here to give us tips" or something (!).
Not everyone has the same luck as you. I have few friends living in Korea and all of them struggle to get jobs and fit in just because of their ethnicity and the color of their skin. Korea is not all sunshine and rainbow as they potrait in K-dramas. If you are white with a bit of luck then the picture might be a bit different.

People have biases which as far as I can tell seem somewhat accurate in most asian countries. They may not be accurate in this instance but that's the thing about bias it tints your perception, it's just the way humans evolved
Every advanced country has similar policies toward immigration. You can't just come in because you feel like it, without bringing something to the table.
American here. One of my old English teachers is from Nigeria. I learned a lot from her during my Sophomore/2nd year of high school. Prepositions was a fun memory from her class. So yeah... Qualifications >>>>>>> Nationality
No it's not true for most countries to base whether someone's qualified to teach English or not based on their country of origin. In most places, that's done by a test of English proficiency. Try again.
@@FistDaMonkey maybe because the education market is extremely competitive and expensive in Korea. Korean parents would only accept the best for the money they spend on education.
Nah, I had an American born French teacher with a horrible French pronunciation. Luckily the second year French teacher was ACTUALLY born and raised in France
@@Nebulak187 that's not making your point. yeah, OFC everywhere in the world people with highly sought after skills, would do better, even in their home countries.

@@sean668it's better than most Korean , for Korean standard she speak well. I was born in France from Korean parents and my English is better than my cousins who grew up in Korea and studied in USA . For point of view of Korean just like japanese English is difficult language, at school it's taken as seriously as maths . So when you speak English well they are easily impressed.
It's is as the other person commented which is England, the U.K. encompasses the other nations in the area, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. With that being said, English people did bring the English language to other nations that were common wealth nations of England. Does it really matter what the Italian woman said, 🤷🏻♂️ If people can all communicate well with other using the English language. Some minor differences ain't gonna be a deal breaker at the end.
Thats true but they care more about how a person looks and thats what everyone notices first. They might care for a european beauty vlogger with less societal value than for an indian or filippino surgeon.
But denying people jobs based off their skin colour when they’re qualified is gross. Those people can contribute but will be looked over because of their skin tone.
You need to be able to teach English in a way that it becomes natural to the learner. Therefore a native teacher will teach natural english with a natural accent. Whilst understanding the cultural context in which the langauge is spoken, instinctive grammar and natural speech patterns. If I learned a language I would want to learn it from a native speaker for these reasons. Just like she is a native Italian speaker and she teaches Italian. I'm sure she would be surprised if a non native Italian speaker decided to start teaching her students.
On the other hand, someone who learned English knows the struggle of learning the language, she most definitely studied languages at university, that’s means she’s got a degree, meanwhile, some English native speakers have zero qualifications whatsoever
Some of my best language teachers have been nonnative speakers. Like another commenter said, that is an incredibly limited mindset. There is a level of perspective that only someone who is _not_ raised in a culture of speaking a certain language has in how they approach it, and that is an immense benefit to another person who is also trying to learn the language from that outsider’s perspective.
Your perspective on the need for native speakers to teach English is myopic. Whether you are a native teacher or not, Koreans will have their own accents, because of their linguistic origin. Indians were once ruled by the Britishers, and they were taught English by the native speakers but it is what it is; the accent of Indian were different from the Britishers. If only you were born and raised in the native speaking country, can you perfectly imitate their accent.
I think it's a good idea when you are in the advanced level of the language. Otherwise I prefer learning the basics from non-native speakers bc they're usually good at explaining grammar.
@@alahiri2002 you need a mix of both. Nonnatives are good for teaching the rules, but natives are better for teaching natural conversation, humour, idioms, cultural references embedded in language, and so on. Not to mention that they’ll often have a more natural accent and cadence when they speak.
Why is wrong for a country to want skilled foreigners or ones that bring something to their country? Should the just let anyone in that won't add and only drain resources? Look at Europe - how has it worked out?
I don't know which European countries you are talking about. But saying that most of the immigrants/foreigners coming to Europe are draining resources and don't bring anything to the table is wild.
I’m Norwegian uni student in Korea and I make a decent living teaching English privately 🤷 You just need to be creative and also be able to prove that you have high English proficiency (test results help the most in my experience ). Why would you want to teach in a public school anyways? The pay is not the best and working hours can be horrible. Ofc my situation is not representative for everyone because I come from a country with high English proficiency, and I am a language major, but if u got the skills, the demand is definitely there in the private market. This is a bit of a side note but I know some people with questionable English ability who have gotten (although admittedly sketchy) teaching jobs. If they can, you can💀
I really wish people would stop complaining about Asian countries wanting native English speakers to teach English. It’s common sense and it’s logical. Would you want to learn Chinese from a Russian? Nobody wants to learn a foreign language from a non-native speaker of that language.
It's not common sense. A non-native speaker is not only more likely to understand the mechanics of a language but also has experienced many of the same challenges their students are going through. A native speaker is usually better suited for upper level courses where cultural or idiomatic knowledge is important after a solid foundation has been established.
Just because you're native in a language doesn't mean you can teach it, of course I'd like to learn Chinese from a Chinese person instead of a Russian, but only if that Chinese person has a course / degree in teaching foreigners.
@@MalfosRanger You're not taking pronunciation into consideration. I'd rather have my child learn from a native speaker to have the correct pronunciation. If you're talking about teaching children, they're not going to be asking complex grammar questions. The best would be to have native speakers who also know how to teach.
@@lynnferry291 Correct pronunciation makes sense for a language like Korean, not English. English is spoken in so many places, pronunciation has become very flexible.
Peopel who speak english as their 2 or 3 language would be actually better teachers coz they themselves know what kind of problem people/kids would face.
I'm Italian and even tho she has an accent I would've never guessed she was Italian. her English is good, she never said she wanted to teach it and besides most Koreans speak English like American trappers slurring words so I would not call out foreigners that usually speak 3 or 4 languages

No she’s not lmfao y’all are so fragile it’s genuinely sad. She was pretty clear. If you are not from an English speaking country they don’t want you to teach English.
You realize there are predominantly white countries that don’t speak English, right? It’s not about race, it’s about economic power. At this point, English is the predominant language for international business because the most economically powerful nations speak English. The ICAO even requires English speaking air traffic controllers worldwide. That kind of oversimplification makes people sound incredibly ignorant…

I am from Jamaica living in England for over two decades and I don't care if Koreans like immigrants. I absolutely love south Korean culture I watch every historical drama I find, so Korea here I come. Love you guys ❤❤❤ God bless
So true. My university had a program that allowed us to move to Korean or China to teach English and they refused all non English born even if you lived here all your life.
No not every country should want that! Look at Japan where everyone is high skilled.. It creates a problem with because who's gonna be the cleaner? or janitor? It's also becoming a problem in some European countries where majority of the population is at university level and there is no one who wants to do the "shitty"jobs.... Not everyone can be at the top.
It's a common practice throughout Asia. They usually want native speakers with passport holders from those countries and BA or higher along with certification (TESOL or TEFL). Some places in Southeeast Asia with lower supply of native speakers hire non-native, but the pay is lower. There are already many Korean English teachers who are excellent, and most parents want to send their kids to schools taught by native speakers. It may also be required for the visa purpose. I don't know if she's referring to herself when she talks about someone who's almost a native speaker, but she definitely isn't considered that level.
I wonder how many people commenting know the US has military bases in S.Korea and the US market is very important economically for them. And as a Pacific nation, Korea has less interactions with the UK than the Indo-Pacific commonwealth nations so of course it wasn't on the forefront of her mind.
@@adamelghalmi9771 Responding to the various comments about the video. The economic reasons and military presence make American English more desirable than British. The US economy is massive and has more influence on Korea than the British Commonwealth nations. Every overseas Korean and Japanese person I've dealt with in English sound American for a reason. Korean businesses also have a large physical presence in America and are not merely exporting things to it. My father even worked for Samsung many years ago when they were getting established here and I went to school with the kids of some of their executives who came over to work here.
Actually South Korea and Japan are just USA colonies, that's why they get so mad at China, they can't stand the fact that China will soon surpass the USA and it's not its puppet in Asia like them.
Then how's New Zealand came first on her mind than UK.? LOL the main issue in most comments here is about she's not mentioning a country of where the language is from. that's it. not the whole bullsh*t about military presence, media bla bla bla. no sh*t sherlock. everybody knows that. you act like it's a secret or sum. lol it's not that deep bro
It is extremely difficult for a non-native to reach a native level of English unless one is very talented. You can find some who have a good breadth of vocabulary and perfect grammar, but without being fully educated in that country, it is hard to know all the collocations, etc. Korea already has many non-native speaking English teachers within its own country, so it is understandable why the government would not want to allow many more into their country. The advantage that the Korean teachers have is that they can speak Korean for beginner to intermediate students. Otherwise, it is considered best to expose children to native speakers to get a native accent and the full knowledge of a native speaker. There are a few non-native speakers who do teach English in Korea and they are from countries like France, etc.
As someone who has been living in the UK for 10 years, I can tell you this with a hand on my heart, that most Brit’s speak each at the same level as me or even worse.
@SulyeonOfficial Hopefully, the people teaching English have above-average native level English. I know non-natives who are very, very proficient at English, but even people who spent time in English-speaking countries during their childhoods still don't have perfect English. They still make occasional errors in subject-verb agreement, singular/plural nouns, prepositions, etc. That said, for a large number of students, having a teacher that is 98 percent fluent in English as opposed to 100 percent fluent doesn't really make a difference.
@@fustiancorduroy not needed really, you just need to be from an English speaking country pass an exam which btw is super easy to pass if you just study for a month.
Very valid and very respectful questions and answers. My mom was born in Korea and lived there for over 20 years. Society is very exclusive, and very competitive. If you don't have anything to contribute they don't want you, and as Korea is very small for a country, everything she is saying is on point, but there may be a few exceptions.
Which is funny, because in Italy they don't teach American English but British English and those who want to improve their English usually go to the UK, there are also school exchanges and specific study programs. Until a few years ago they were also part of the Erasmus program, which is still very popular among young Europeans.
I think it’s the same in every advanced country. You can’t just come lol. The government has to protect the majorities’ benefits so you have to bring money or fill out the skills shortage.
@@RajuCheck-bp2tznot true, they need workers. It will surprise you the amount of people from India that live here in Korea. The issue is that if you don't have that many skills, the only jobs you can get are on factories or the market. I went to Sokcho a couple of months ago and most of the vendors were foreigners. 😂
A lot of countries aren’t just handing out visas and green cards. For a lot of countries, you have to prove that you will be able to contribute to the country. Some can be a little more lenient than others and some can be more strict. For a country like South Korea, the country already is very small. I mean majority of the states in the US are larger in size. But for its small size, South Korea has an extremely large population. So they have to be somewhat strict with their policies as they only have so much resources to go around. There are probably many other reasons but again South Korea just can’t be accepting anybody and everybody
I think it also depends on the level. I'm also not a native English speaker. Teaching English as a foreign language is not the same skill as teaching English to a native speaker. In fact, I think it's more challenging to teach your native tongue to a foreigner because it's difficult to explain certain things that you understand instinctively. In your native tongue you can probably understand that a phrase, grammar, or wording is incorrect without even thinking. But when you're asked why...it's often difficult to explain because you picked it up naturally from childhood. Many foreigners who've studied English as a foreign language have studied formal grammar, and they know the common challenges from their own experience. FYI, there are Russians, Ukrainians, French, Mongolians, Brazilians, Swedes, Germans, Kazakhs, Mexicans, etc, etc hired as English teachers in public schools in Japan. They may not be native speakers, but they have near-native proficiency. For beginner to intermediate level of reading and writing...their skill-level is more than sufficient.
She’s absolutely right because all this people here money hungry. All ways they hungry to see decent English or American . I have some friends saying the same thing. Good for them .I’m really happy in my European continent and African continent..
As a black person who also visited Korea! I understand them and don't think they need to adapt to the values of the West...even Western countries including the US do not want immigrants...there is some hypocrisy here. These are countries that maintain their native homogeneity. And everywhere in the West they fight for the rights to preserve indigenous people but look with bewilderment at countries that are harsh in terms of immigration to them?!? why?! As long as you can travel there, Korea is just fine.😅
Due to extremely active education market in Korea, there is already plenty of Koreans who teach theoretical part of English very well. And it is very easily accessible. So, for me, what I would expect to learn from foreign English teacher is practical part of English including their culture, and way they think and do stuff. And also preferably good pronunciation. However, I think it is difficult to prove if people from non-English country has skill to do this. And bruh, she gotta watch some News or read Newspapers from Europe
@@l0velyfl0werthe point is, she missed the MAIN one. lol it's like forgotten to mention Spain when referring to spanish speaking countries. 🤣 how's you thinking of New Zealand first but not England.?

As a Korean in my opinion our government welcomes people from other countries but that's it. There is an invisible line between native Korean and others. These days we aren't prepared for immigrants given the infulx. I totally agree with the argument that you can't accept any of immigrants like Europe ,which resulted in chaos. But the fact is in Korea, even if you are skilled worker , you would be struggling with Visa FOREVER unless you get married to native Korean. Let me take an example , one of the requirement for PR in Korea is making apporximately 82,000,000 KRW annualy ,in Euro, 55000€ which is twice of average income. This is ridiculosuly high and makes no sence Meaning that we don't want to have them blended into our society. No offence,their position is just foreign worker , nothing else
@@jiminswriter4209Obtaining permanent residency here is not easy because of the amount of money one should have just like what the Korean said above even the average Koreans are struggling to save that money in a year.
she has very good points, Korea doesn't really want, say, a German english teacher, even though they may be more proficient in the english language than the average "native" english teacher, and be able to communicate effectively in Korean too
It's good to conclude whether someone's fluent in English based on their country of birth? lmao What would be good is if they had actual metric of English proficiency to teach instead of basing it on nationality. There are also many cases of English tutors from Ukraine and Russia who claimed they are Canadians to get English teaching jobs when they did not have the necessary English fluency to teach it.

I am not Korean. Isn't it common sense rejecting non native English speakers to be an English teacher? It is the same as English speaking countries would hire native Korean to teach them Korean
They don’t want to hear you because, with how the discourse in the comments are going, all this talk makes it seem like native speakers would get an opportunity they think they should get also
Tbf, shouldn't this be the default? States need to look after the interests of their people so why shouldn't they prioritize guests and visitors that do bring something to the table?
She nailed it. As I am with my husband who has different country’s citizenship, we still STRUGGLE a lot of things to live here. I don’t know the government deeply wants young ppl to have families and to live here permanently. They seems like they only care about how much you can bring money to Korea 😂
To be fair, restrictions like this ensure that locals doesn't compete with foreigners to get a job. In Malaysia, the regulations are too simple, many foreigners got high paying jobs. Even as a bachelor graduate, it's very hard to secure a job that matches your credentials.
If you don't realize how equal Korea treats foreigners and how many opportunities it offers them, I would tell you to go to China, Japan, Singapore and experience how they treat foreigners. In China, There are certain areas where foreigners can and cannot go, and foreigners can only stay in accommodations designated by the CCP. In Japan, landlords refusing to rent to foreigners is a long-standing problem that even the government hasn't been able to solve. In Singapore, there is a wage differential between nationals and foreigners.
I have been living in South Korea and I had a bad experience when I was looking for a room to stay long here. Some landlords do not want foreigner too, they always asked where I am from, and looked down on me when I told the I am from South East Asia, but luckily I was privileged that I graduated from a prestigious university. I understand that it is for their safety because some foreign people just left the country and did not fully aware of the contract but I still remembered how some treated me badly when I was looking for a room, I felt like they thought I don’t have the money to pay the rent. Some of my friends even had problematic landlords who didn’t want to give back their deposit even though they didn’t do anything wrong. However, it seems a lot better tho.
It's hilarious how much you lie and exaggerate things. China doesn't ban you from staying in certain places unless of course you're trying to claim them not letting you live right next to a gov building is banning you specifically and not other locals as wel. The wages are imbalanced in favor of foreigners and japanese landlords who don't rent to foreigners are rarer than people make them out to be. Also you're not talking about difference in treatment depending on what type of foreigner you are. A white guy gets treated differently than say a korean guy.

Also for proper accent. She speaks very good English but she clearly has an accent that a native speaker won't. I'm learning Chinese and for the same reason, I prefer to learn and imitate native speakers over westerners who have learnt Mandarin - even if they are good.
I refer to westerners though as they can sometimes understand and communicate the struggles a native English speaker has adjusting to Mandarin, but that's it.

I saw somebody else on yt mention something similar. They said native English speakers with no regional dialects were preferred. Only "proper" English speakers. They also mentioned some schools preferred only white, even blond teachers to make the parents feel like the kids would get the best instruction, even more than, say, an ethnic korean or asian who was was born and raised in the US, for example. Many schools don't seem as concerned about race, since there seem to be many black english teachers in sk. I always thought english teachers had to be fluent in korean as well, but that doesn't seem to be necessary.
I'm sorry but how does someone have no regional dialects??? Everyone comes from a region somewhere 😂
@PotatoChipChippity no complaints as a candidate coz everyone has the right to hire someone they need. If not be able to satisfy, u should also know giving up the job and try to find proper one for yourselves. Why you complain about someone's need

But denying people jobs based off their skin colour when they’re qualified is gross. Those people can contribute but will be looked over because of their skin tone.
You need to be able to teach English in a way that it becomes natural to the learner. Therefore a native teacher will teach natural english with a natural accent. Whilst understanding the cultural context in which the langauge is spoken, instinctive grammar and natural speech patterns. If I learned a language I would want to learn it from a native speaker for these reasons. Just like she is a native Italian speaker and she teaches Italian. I'm sure she would be surprised if a non native Italian speaker decided to start teaching her students.
On the other hand, someone who learned English knows the struggle of learning the language, she most definitely studied languages at university, that’s means she’s got a degree, meanwhile, some English native speakers have zero qualifications whatsoever
Some of my best language teachers have been nonnative speakers. Like another commenter said, that is an incredibly limited mindset. There is a level of perspective that only someone who is _not_ raised in a culture of speaking a certain language has in how they approach it, and that is an immense benefit to another person who is also trying to learn the language from that outsider’s perspective.
Your perspective on the need for native speakers to teach English is myopic. Whether you are a native teacher or not, Koreans will have their own accents, because of their linguistic origin. Indians were once ruled by the Britishers, and they were taught English by the native speakers but it is what it is; the accent of Indian were different from the Britishers. If only you were born and raised in the native speaking country, can you perfectly imitate their accent.
I think it's a good idea when you are in the advanced level of the language. Otherwise I prefer learning the basics from non-native speakers bc they're usually good at explaining grammar.
@@alahiri2002 you need a mix of both. Nonnatives are good for teaching the rules, but natives are better for teaching natural conversation, humour, idioms, cultural references embedded in language, and so on. Not to mention that they’ll often have a more natural accent and cadence when they speak.
Obedient, respectful and polite is what every country wants
Indeed. But also highly skilled workers. It’s very difficult to immigrate to a developed country without a desirable skill or degree.

Ofc my situation is not representative for everyone because I come from a country with high English proficiency, and I am a language major, but if u got the skills, the demand is definitely there in the private market.

I really wish people would stop complaining about Asian countries wanting native English speakers to teach English. It’s common sense and it’s logical. Would you want to learn Chinese from a Russian? Nobody wants to learn a foreign language from a non-native speaker of that language.
It's not common sense. A non-native speaker is not only more likely to understand the mechanics of a language but also has experienced many of the same challenges their students are going through. A native speaker is usually better suited for upper level courses where cultural or idiomatic knowledge is important after a solid foundation has been established.
Just because you're native in a language doesn't mean you can teach it, of course I'd like to learn Chinese from a Chinese person instead of a Russian, but only if that Chinese person has a course / degree in teaching foreigners.
@@MalfosRanger You're not taking pronunciation into consideration. I'd rather have my child learn from a native speaker to have the correct pronunciation.

Makes sense to me. Sounds rational.
It's a common practice throughout Asia. They usually want native speakers with passport holders from those countries and BA or higher along with certification (TESOL or TEFL). Some places in Southeeast Asia with lower supply of native speakers hire non-native, but the pay is lower. There are already many Korean English teachers who are excellent, and most parents want to send their kids to schools taught by native speakers. It may also be required for the visa purpose. I don't know if she's referring to herself when she talks about someone who's almost a native speaker, but she definitely isn't considered that level.
Ok Korea I'm not coming again......Singapore nko,hope no discrimination there
I wonder how many people commenting know the US has military bases in S.Korea and the US market is very important economically for them. And as a Pacific nation, Korea has less interactions with the UK than the Indo-Pacific commonwealth nations so of course it wasn't on the forefront of her mind.
what does economic relations with a country have to do with anything?
@@adamelghalmi9771 Responding to the various comments about the video. The economic reasons and military presence make American English more desirable than British. The US economy is massive and has more influence on Korea than the British Commonwealth nations. Every overseas Korean and Japanese person I've dealt with in English sound American for a reason. Korean businesses also have a large physical presence in America and are not merely exporting things to it. My father even worked for Samsung many years ago when they were getting established here and I went to school with the kids of some of their executives who came over to work here.
Actually South Korea and Japan are just USA colonies, that's why they get so mad at China, they can't stand the fact that China will soon surpass the USA and it's not its puppet in Asia like them.

It is extremely difficult for a non-native to reach a native level of English unless one is very talented. You can find some who have a good breadth of vocabulary and perfect grammar, but without being fully educated in that country, it is hard to know all the collocations, etc. Korea already has many non-native speaking English teachers within its own country, so it is understandable why the government would not want to allow many more into their country. The advantage that the Korean teachers have is that they can speak Korean for beginner to intermediate students. Otherwise, it is considered best to expose children to native speakers to get a native accent and the full knowledge of a native speaker. There are a few non-native speakers who do teach English in Korea and they are from countries like France, etc.
As someone who has been living in the UK for 10 years, I can tell you this with a hand on my heart, that most Brit’s speak each at the same level as me or even worse.
@SulyeonOfficial Hopefully, the people teaching English have above-average native level English.
I know non-natives who are very, very proficient at English, but even people who spent time in English-speaking countries during their childhoods still don't have perfect English. They still make occasional errors in subject-verb agreement, singular/plural nouns, prepositions, etc.
That said, for a large number of students, having a teacher that is 98 percent fluent in English as opposed to 100 percent fluent doesn't really make a difference.
@@fustiancorduroy not needed really, you just need to be from an English speaking country pass an exam which btw is super easy to pass if you just study for a month.
Very valid and very respectful questions and answers. My mom was born in Korea and lived there for over 20 years. Society is very exclusive, and very competitive. If you don't have anything to contribute they don't want you, and as Korea is very small for a country, everything she is saying is on point, but there may be a few exceptions.
Dang she so beautifullllll
I found it funny how she named almost all of the English speaking countries except the UK 😂
Which is funny, because in Italy they don't teach American English but British English and those who want to improve their English usually go to the UK, there are also school exchanges and specific study programs. Until a few years ago they were also part of the Erasmus program, which is still very popular among young Europeans.

A lot of countries aren’t just handing out visas and green cards. For a lot of countries, you have to prove that you will be able to contribute to the country. Some can be a little more lenient than others and some can be more strict. For a country like South Korea, the country already is very small. I mean majority of the states in the US are larger in size. But for its small size, South Korea has an extremely large population. So they have to be somewhat strict with their policies as they only have so much resources to go around.

@@kingjaeherfacts make me happy
I think it also depends on the level. I'm also not a native English speaker. Teaching English as a foreign language is not the same skill as teaching English to a native speaker.
In fact, I think it's more challenging to teach your native tongue to a foreigner because it's difficult to explain certain things that you understand instinctively. In your native tongue you can probably understand that a phrase, grammar, or wording is incorrect without even thinking. But when you're asked why...it's often difficult to explain because you picked it up naturally from childhood.
Many foreigners who've studied English as a foreign language have studied formal grammar, and they know the common challenges from their own experience.
FYI, there are Russians, Ukrainians, French, Mongolians, Brazilians, Swedes, Germans, Kazakhs, Mexicans, etc, etc hired as English teachers in public schools in Japan. They may not be native speakers, but they have near-native proficiency. For beginner to intermediate level of reading and writing...their skill-level is more than sufficient.

Due to extremely active education market in Korea, there is already plenty of Koreans who teach theoretical part of English very well. And it is very easily accessible.

If you don't realize how equal Korea treats foreigners and how many opportunities it offers them, I would tell you to go to China, Japan, Singapore and experience how they treat foreigners.
In China, There are certain areas where foreigners can and cannot go, and foreigners can only stay in accommodations designated by the CCP.
In Japan, landlords refusing to rent to foreigners is a long-standing problem that even the government hasn't been able to solve.
In Singapore, there is a wage differential between nationals and foreigners.
Wow with all the videos telling foreigners to buy old Japan houses…. I wonder how the locals will handle that situation.
I totally agree
I have been living in South Korea and I had a bad experience when I was looking for a room to stay long here. Some landlords do not want foreigner too, they always asked where I am from, and looked down on me when I told the I am from South East Asia, but luckily I was privileged that I graduated from a prestigious university. I understand that it is for their safety because some foreign people just left the country and did not fully aware of the contract but I still remembered how some treated me badly when I was looking for a room, I felt like they thought I don’t have the money to pay the rent. Some of my friends even had problematic landlords who didn’t want to give back their deposit even though they didn’t do anything wrong. However, it seems a lot better tho.
It's hilarious how much you lie and exaggerate things. China doesn't ban you from staying in certain places unless of course you're trying to claim them not letting you live right next to a gov building is banning you specifically and not other locals as wel. The wages are imbalanced in favor of foreigners and japanese landlords who don't rent to foreigners are rarer than people make them out to be. Also you're not talking about difference in treatment depending on what type of foreigner you are. A white guy gets treated differently than say a korean guy.
