When I meet a foreigner, what are good questions to ask them?
I didn't write an entry yesterday because I came home lately.
I just came to home after I went to pool for swimming. (or: I went straight home after I went swimming)
Then I sat in a chair in front of my desk.
(or: I signed up for a premium account)
enrolled or registered. Which is the right?
I like Saturday mornings,
I can do anything what I want to do in that time.
I can read a book, study English, write entries, listening music, and so on.
While I was on my way home, I thought one thing after finished swimming. ("after finished swimming." isn't needed because you stated in a previous sentence you went straight home after swimming)
So I thought that I have a chance to meet a foreigner.
How am I going to meet a foreigner? (??)
I'm in a study group, for speaking English, but everybody is Korean
They have good English skills but they are to busy to talking about themselves
Where can I meet foreigners except for language schools?
When I will go downtown, I often see foreigners to be alone in places like 'starbucks'
Shall I try to talk to them?
Don't you think this is a good method?
I have enough courage.
I heard it somewhere before that foreigners were kind(friendly) from 낯선사람 (kind to strangers?)
Is this the true? (or "Is this the truth?")
When I approach a foreigner, what are good questions to ask?
If you have spare time, can you talk with me? ( or: Hello! Nice to meet you. If you have spare time, may I talk with you?)
How long have you been in Korea?
What type of job do you have while living in Korea?
If you go up to a foreigner you don't know, try not to ask too many questions immediately ^-^. I'm sure foreigners in Korea would love talking. It's part of the experience going to a foreign country.
Some other questions you can ask them are:
How do you like living here?
What is your favorite thing about Korea?
What country are you from?
What inspired you to come to Korea?
literally, "why did you come to Korea?" but everybody asks that. It's kind of cliche and boring. How about "are you here for business?" Of course visitors to your company will be there on business. One thing you can do is make lots of jokes.
are you waiting to see somebody?
why did you come to Korea?
Are you married?
do you like Korean food?
Where are you from?
try to avoid these questions. I would recommend just saying what people say in the states. Say something about the weather, or the traffic in the morning, or about what's in the Korean news. You know, the tradiitonal ice breakers.
It means like sponsor. Its meaning is similar to "sponsor."
I like lang8 and am thankful
and I want to read more my entries to be read by a lot of people.
I heard that entries written by users with premium accounts will be top-ranked.
I can do anything what I want to in that time. then.
I can read a book, study English, write entries, listen to music, and so on.
수영을 마치고 나는 집에 오는 도중에 한 가지 생각이 났다. I thought of something on my way home after swimming.
내 자신이 영어 공부에 아직 너무 소극적이라는 것을 I am still too passive about learning English.
So I thought that I have to chance to meet foreigner. I think that I'd like to meet a foreigner.
How can I do that?
스터디 그룹을 하지만 다들 한국인이다. I'm in a study group, but it's only other Koreans.
They're good at English but they only talk about themselves.
Where can I meet foreigners except for at language schools?
When I will go downtown, I often see foreigners to be alone in places like Starbucks.
Should I try to talk to them?
Do you think this is a good idea?
I've heard somewhere before that foreigners are friendly to strangers.
Where do you work?
What's going on here? That sounds rude. Ask, "How's it going?" or, "What are you up to?"
Do you have an appointment? "Are you meeting somebody?" Use "appointment" when talking about going to the doctor's office or to a business thing.
Also, there are bars in every city that foreigners usually go to. There are also websites like meetup.com that foreigners use a lot. I think you should try meetup.com because many people who are new to Korea use it to make friends, so it may be easier to make a foreign friend through a group on there than in a bar or at Starbucks.
