  • I strongly urge anyone who is considering coming to reconsider. Teaching in Korea is usually not a positive experience.

  • Wondering if someone could help me out, I will be moving to South Korea in July of this year to teach English. However I wear dental braces, do you think this would put off employers? They do not effect my speech. If you could e-mail me that would be great leighcwinston@hotmail.com

  • Great video's, really helped me when looking into teaching abroad!! Anyway I've got a position through the EPIK programme starting this February in Seoul. I'd really like to know how you began speaking Korean, what did you first do to start and do you have any good tips to help a beginner to get to grips with it, thanks

  • @krnpowr Oh my bad. I didn't know you were just one of those non-sensical youtube trolls. I thought you were asking a real question. Carry on.

  • @darknessbruh Where is this most powerful nation list? He said S. Korea was the 13th. There is no such thing! That is something that's subjective. Please shut the hell up. You're trying to rationalize a statement that wasn't all that rational.

  • @krnpowr S. Korea is listed between 10th and 18th on virtually every list of powerful nations. The lists are usually based on Economic and Military power among some other things. They have one of the strongest militaries in the world (in part from them being an American Ally)

  • @V904T Actually, Japan has already stated that they would launch pre-emptive strikes on N. Korea if they feel it is justified

  • Missiles from Japan?? Do you even know that Japan won`t fire missiles unless they are attacked? Even in the US bases all they have in the bases in Okinawa are the training facilities....

  • Also, @ 3:00 you said Korea is the 13th most powerful country in the world. Really? Using whose standards and guidelines of powerful countries?

  • Your explanation of the exchange rate is pretty bad when you say the value of the Korean won goes above and below the dollar. That makes no sense because currencies are on exchange rates that are free floating against other currencies with completely different denominations.
