Questions
Has anyone ever gone for counseling in Seoul and only spoken English?
Hi everyone, I'm Diep from Vietnam and I'm planning to go to Seoul for some treatments next month. My main concern is communication – I can speak English, but not Korean, I only understand a little. Has anyone had a consultation or examination at one of those clinics where only English was used? Did they help out, or did I need to find an interpreter?
I heard that some places have English-speaking staff, but I don't know how common that is. The important thing is that I want to clearly understand what the doctor is saying and avoid misunderstandings during the consultation. If anyone has been there, could you share your experience or suggest ways I can better prepare before the consultation? I'd really appreciate it!
I'm also curious about what apps people usually use to help with communication? Or should I find a guide beforehand? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm also from Vietnam, and last time I went for a consultation, it was only in English. Luckily, the staff were very friendly and helped me translate the parts I didn't understand! You can prepare a list of questions written in English beforehand; that will make communication much easier.
I'm also from Vietnam and had the same worries as you, but luckily, when I went for a consultation, I met an English interpreter who explained everything quite clearly. I recommend contacting them beforehand via email or text message to ask if they have English-speaking staff, as not all places have them readily available and you need to make arrangements in advance!
