Thanks for your responses. Personally, I’m glad that I grew up with English as my native language. I have been interested in Asia lately as I’ve watched some Korean and Taiwanese dramas. In Asia, when they want to learn a second language, they (from what I’ve seen) learn English. In fact, in a lot of Korean pop, there is often English words mixed with the Korean in the songs.

Besides being the language of science and business, English is attractive to the Koreans because they like us. And all the Koreans I’ve meet have been extremely nice people, if a little cranky. I like them, too. My Korean students, in particular, are friendly and very hard-working.

My Marine father fought in the war, and was stationed in Korea twice more in thirty years. He explains to everyone that the Koreans are exceedingly nice people, unless you’re fighting them. then look out!
