Hello, I'm Erika. I'm planning to have a cosmetic consultation in Seoul next month, but I'm a little worried about the language barrier. I can speak English reasonably well, but I'm not confident when it comes to detailed medical explanations... 😅
What I'd like to ask those who have actually been is whether there are staff members at the clinics who speak Japanese. Or is it more common for them to manage with English? Of course, I plan to do some research myself beforehand, but the subtle nuances are important, aren't they?
If anyone has experience with this, I'd be happy to hear how you managed. Have any of you used translation apps?

To Erika, I had the same worries! I've heard stories from people who used translation apps or emailed their consultation questions in English beforehand, but I'm curious about how it actually went. If you go, I'd be happy if you could tell me which method was most helpful 😊
Erika, I totally understand how you feel 😅 I had the same worries, but when I actually went, many places explained things quite thoroughly even in English. Still, having a translation app gives you peace of mind for those subtle nuances!
