I’ve read a lot about this and apparently the two groups of English speakers most present in Korea, US soldiers and English language teachers, are *not* legally allowed to work in Korea (other than their official jobs, obviously.) So that leaves tourists? I really appreciate shows that give these non-actors the absolute least amount of dialogue possible!
I recently watched The K2, which has scenes filmed on location in Spain. They used real Spanish actors and even though their scenes are short you can *totally* tell. (And then then have non-actors as American soldiers in the Iraq scenes, and well, at least it’s over quickly!)
I’m looking forward to doing things like language reactor and dual subs, but I just don’t have the vocab yet. Maybe when I finish the first thousand words deck. I’ve told myself I’m turning off subs after I know 2,000 words! (Gulp! We’ll see how that goes!)
