Language barrier at consultations in Seoul — is English enough?
Hey everyone! I'm planning a trip to Seoul soon and I'm thinking about getting a consultation for a treatment I've been wanting to try. My Korean is basically non-existent (lol), so I'm wondering how realistic it is to do a consultation in English? Has anyone here done this? I'm curious if most places in the popular areas have English-speaking staff, or if I should try to find someone who speaks my language specifically. I don't want to end up confused about what they're recommending, you know? Also, is it worth bringing a translator or using translation apps during the appointment? Would love to hear about your experiences!

Hi! I'm curious, have you contacted clinics in Seoul before? Or is this your first time? I'm also worried about the language barrier, but I'd like to know from others' experiences if they can really communicate smoothly in English or if other preparations are needed.
Hello! I'm in the same situation – I'm going to Seoul and I think it would be good to get a consultation in English. I imagine there are many people who understand you similarly, so it might be a good idea to take a little extra time or go with an interpreter.
