I would really appreciate it if I could get some insight on this. I moved to korea as a student and have been here for almost 3 months. I've settled in and adjusted to a lot of things, but oh so help me god, how do I communicate to koreans on the phone. I've been mostly able to get my way around by either translating images or through text. But at times, I get calls from my university, banks, ISP's and have no idea what they are saying.

There is also the problem of me having to activate my student card by contacting a number, but again, the guy on the other side speaks korean.

Any foreigners have any idea on how to get around this?(except you know, just learning korean 🙂)
