That would be difficult. However, I have known many foreigners and met heaps of others who could speak no more than a few words and key survival phrases and although the quality of their lives was severely hampered by their lack of Korean proficiency, most of them managed. Please, at the bare minimum, learn to read Hangeul.
It won't take long and it's immeasurably helpful. For foreigners who want to communicate with locals and enhance their own experience here, learning some Korean is a must. But if you just want to hang out with other foreigners in?
Or? You won't need much.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
