Having lived in Korea for quite a long time, it's a lot easier for me to navigate around. I speak the language and have also come to learn their culture. Or like to like to call it, our culture ㅋㅋ.
Any questions, feel free to ask
나는 한국에 꽤 오래 살아서 쉽게 다닐 수 있다. 왜냐하면 난 한국어와 한국 문화를 배웠기 때문이다. 하지만 지금은 한국에 오래 살아서 "우리 문화"라고 생각하고 하게 되었다 ㅋㅋ. 질문 있으면 편하게 물어 보세요.
