Mr Kim. I live in Tianjin. I work on a production line with 3 Koreans. We spend over 10 hours a day together, communicating mostly in English, because my Korean is very poor. Now and then, they teach me a few expressions in Hangul, and I try to help them to improve their English, as best I can, because it is our only means of communicating with our employers.

I'll tell you what I am going to do. I am going to print off your post. Then tomorrow, I am going to very carefully cut out each word and put it into a hat. During my lunch break, I am going to sprinkle the contents of my hat onto the floor. Then I will ask my Korean co-workers to read out the words as they have fallen on the floor, according to the laws of chance.

That way, they'll stand a better chance of understanding your English than I do.
