Korean language · Communities · Making friends
I expected language exchange cafés to feel uncomfortable.
But surprisingly, they felt warm.
People from different countries sat together practicing Korean and English while sharing snacks and coffee.
Nobody cared about perfect grammar.
One Korean student spent almost thirty minutes helping me pronounce simple phrases correctly while laughing patiently at my mistakes.
That kindness stayed with me.
And after a while, the café stopped feeling like “studying.”
It felt like community.
