Ya Boy 달 :
so, as someone living in korea. the reason why they may not speak in korean back is because they can tell your korean isn't good enough to hold a normal convo. I've been here for close to 6 years now and am pretty advanced. havent had the whole weird back n forth thing happen for the last 3 years

Not all foreigners speak English too, but all Koreans speak Korean, so we are just expecting them to... speak on their language 😭

Oh very respectfully 🙏 It is usually because there are 3 formats of Korean 1) POETIC Korean 2) SOLDIER Korean 3) SPOKEN Korean and the first format POETIC Korean is the one that is taught.

"they don't give us the opportunity to speak Korean" is an odd thing to say. as long as they understand what you say, just keep talking in Korean, they don't have to give you permission

You're trying to practice Korean while they're trying to practice English probably 😂

This is not papago😂😂😂I totally get it, I started learning Korean more then 8 years ago and I eventually stopped, it took more effort to find a practice partner than the learning

It might be the accent tho 🥹 I never had an experience of people responding to me in English. 2 years ago, when my Korean was way worse, I had difficulties because nobody was speaking English to me and they would speak faster if I was asking to repeat something.

highkey a lot of Koreans will see it as an opportunity to speak English with a “Foreigner” without thinking of that dynamic as much.

M. :
So pro tip (as a half Korean that currently lives in Korea), start the convo in Korean, if they answer in English, continue the conversation in Korean. Like your example, you ordered your coffee in Korean, they answered in English, you acknowledge what they said in Korean. It has worked for me here.

manleb24 :
I don’t know everyone has different experiences I guess it also depends on how natural you sound cause as a Latino whenever I try to speak to someone in Korean they usually catch on that I could def have a full conversation instead of just them trying to accommodate me by using English. They notice that it ends up being easier to communicate in Korean

maybe because you are in Seoul? regional areas prefer foreigners who speak in Korean, they love them.
