Hello, friends! I’m Odval, from Mongolia. I’m currently planning to have a show in Seoul, but I’m worried about one thing — the language barrier. My English is pretty good, but I’m always wondering if it’s enough to get medical advice and treatment.
Are there any hospitals or consultants in Seoul who can speak Mongolian? Or is it enough to just speak English to get through to the hospitals? I can use English and a good online translator, but was this really difficult?
If you have experience, please tell me how you solved this problem. I’m really worried, I hope so!

I'm also planning to go to Seoul to do something similar, so I understand your concerns! I've heard that many places there have English-speaking staff, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe you should contact them beforehand to inquire about language barriers.
Hi Odval! I'm also a foreigner, so I understand your concerns. Have you tried searching for real-time translation apps, or do you think it would be more difficult to talk to a doctor in person?
I completely understand your concerns! I'm also a foreigner, and I was quite nervous when I first went for a cosmetic surgery consultation in Seoul. Communicating in English can sometimes be difficult, especially with the details. However, in my experience, many clinic staff will try their best to help you in English or with translation tools. The key is to call ahead and ask if they can communicate in English; that way, you'll feel more at ease.
Hi Odbat! I'm also from outside Korea and totally understand your language concerns. By the way, when you're researching treatments or consultations in Seoul, have you tried contacting the clinic first via email or chat to ask if any of the staff speak English? In my experience, some places are quite responsive if you ask first 😊
