This has never made sense to me. I know a bunch of people of Korean heritage, some born here, some who came over as kids. They all speak English perfectly. If it was a genetic issue particular to Koreans, they too would have problems speaking English.

Practice, hearing native speakers, and mo' practice.

Yes, I had two Korean (engineers) employees (male & female) and they both spoke perfect English. The female was raised in Texas and had a slight Texas drawl. The male was an immigrant from Korea.
