@@ElliinKorea Hallo Elena. Lebst du seit langem in Korea? Ich bin aus Serbien und war ich jahrelang bei einem koreanischen Unternehmen beschäftigt, einmal habe ich auch Korea für einen Monat besucht. Da kann ich nicht glauben dass es Deutschen gibt, die koreanisch können und noch schwerer kann ich glauben dass es Koreaner gibt, die Deutsch können, denn meiner grossen Erfahrung nach, sogar Englisch fällt ihnen sehr schwer.

[@ElliinKorea]

@@Milan-N ja, ich lebe seit ca. 5 Jahren hier. hat aber auch laaaange gedauert, dass ich okay Koreanisch sprechen kann - perfekt bin ich immer noch nicht! 😆 aber es ist möglich. :)

How long did you need to prepare all documents? 3. Do they receive recommendation letters from former supervisors? 4. Did you take an english proficiency test? Thank you!
