Many koreans are coming to the Philippines to study english. My wife, who is an English instructor, sometimes has students from Korea and she would usually complain.
The Koreans are bonkers for studying English. They send their kids all over the place in order to learn. Groups of Koreans outside Korea are notorious for being difficult to deal with!

I like teaching but have conflicts with the Korean educational system. Everything is geared towards passing the multiple choice public school exams. Many teachers use old fashioned methods of instruction and communication skills get neglected. Im left with the task of trying to work on improving fluency and communicative competence. A tricky task when you get the students for only 50 minutes a week.
