Nepali individuals who come to Korea, especially stepping into the hopeful atmosphere of Seoul with dreams of the Himalayas, face various difficulties as much as new opportunities. As of late 2023, the number of long-term foreign residents in Korea reached about 2.51 million, and Nepali migrants, who constitute a significant portion of this number, are also experiencing various challenges in an unfamiliar environment, a different culture, and a new social system. What are the main difficulties in Korean life, and what is the most powerful weapon to overcome all these obstacles and successfully settle down? Data and statistics clearly show that the key lies in improving Korean language proficiency.

The first and biggest barrier in life in Korea is language. While Nepali and Korean have a small similarity in word order (Subject-Object-Verb), fundamental structural differences, including writing systems, grammatical structures, vocabulary, and Korea's unique and complex honorific system, are very significant, causing great difficulty in initial communication and adaptation.

Korean Language Proficiency as a Solution: This problem can naturally be resolved directly by learning the Korean language itself. The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK), which has international credibility, serves as a standard for measuring Korean language ability, and data from this test shows the necessity and difficulty of Korean language learning.

The Reality of Language Proficiency Seen Through TOPIK Statistics:
- Every year, over 300,000 learners worldwide take the TOPIK exam to have their Korean language proficiency assessed.
- The pass rate for TOPIK Level 4 or higher, required for university admission or professional employment in Korea, varies depending on the test session and test-taker demographics, but generally remains at the level of 20-30% of all test-takers. This suggests that reaching TOPIK Level 4 or higher requires significant time and effort.

✨ Grammar Note: Korean Honorific System
The Korean honorific system is a complex system that uses different verbs, nouns, and particles depending on the social status, age, and other factors of the person being addressed or talked about. It strongly reflects cultural elements not present in Nepali, making it one of the most difficult grammatical elements for foreign learners. Using appropriate honorifics is very important for smooth interpersonal relationships and social life in Korean society.
**μμ (Example):**
- μΌλ° λμ¬: λ¨Ήλ€ (to eat)
- λμ λμ¬: μ‘μμλ€, λμλ€ (honorific forms of 'to eat')
- μΌλ° λ¬Έμ₯: μΉκ΅¬κ° λ°₯μ λ¨Ήμ΄μ. (My friend eats rice.)
- λμ λ¬Έμ₯: ν λ¨Έλκ»μ μ§μ§λ₯Ό μ‘μμΈμ. (Grandmother eats a meal. - very honorific)
**μμ (Example):**
- Normal verb: λ¨Ήλ€ (to eat)
- Honorific verb: μ‘μμλ€, λμλ€ (honorific forms of 'to eat')
- Normal sentence: μΉκ΅¬κ° λ°₯μ λ¨Ήμ΄μ. (My friend eats rice.)
- Honorific sentence: ν λ¨Έλκ»μ μ§μ§λ₯Ό μ‘μμΈμ. (Grandmother eats a meal. - very honorific)

Korean society has different cultural characteristics from Nepal, such as a collectivist tendency, a relatively clear hierarchy, indirect communication style ('nunchi' culture), and unique Korean living etiquette and public place norms. These differences can cause misunderstandings in daily life or interpersonal relationships and make adaptation difficult.

Korean Language Proficiency as a Solution: As Korean language proficiency improves, one can understand these cultural differences more deeply. Through language, one can grasp the Korean way of thinking, emotions, and the meaning of non-verbal expressions ('nunchi'), reducing cultural misunderstandings and gaining the power to naturally adapt to the subtle norms of Korean society. Fluent Korean becomes a bridge between people from different cultural backgrounds.

Work life in Korea, especially in manual labor fields such as manufacturing where many Nepali individuals are employed, is characterized by long working hours, fast work speed, and a relatively rigid organizational culture. The role of foreign workers in Korean industrial sites is very significant, and recently, Korean manufacturers are known to have high satisfaction with workers from certain countries like Cambodia and Vietnam based on their productivity and diligence. Through these experiences, trust in foreign workers is building, and interest in Nepal as a new labor supply country is also gradually increasing, with expectations particularly rising for skilled Nepali workers in the manufacturing sector.

Korean Language Proficiency as a Solution: Korean language proficiency in the workplace is directly linked to survival. Accurately understanding work instructions and communicating smoothly with colleagues and superiors are essential, as is communication regarding safety rules or in emergency situations for the worker's safety. Obtaining information on labor laws or worker protection from relevant government agencies like the Ministry of Employment and Labor and requesting help in case of unfair situations are also effective when supported by Korean language ability. Excellent Korean language skills are advantageous in obtaining better job opportunities or positions requiring skill, leading to long-term career development and income improvement.

Language and cultural barriers often deepen loneliness and isolation in a foreign land, making it difficult to make Korean friends or fit into the local community. Furthermore, prejudice or discriminatory views towards foreigners that exist in some parts of Korean society are also realistic difficulties that Nepali individuals may face.
Indeed, according to the 2022 National Human Rights Commission's survey on the status of foreign residents, 42.5% of respondents answered that they had experienced discrimination in Korea, and nationality (34.5%), race (23.5%), and Korean language ability (18.3%) were cited as major reasons.

Korean Language Proficiency as a Solution: Korean language proficiency is the most important tool for resolving social isolation and connecting with Korean society. When communication in Korean becomes possible, one can build relationships with Korean friends, colleagues, and neighbors, participate in various gatherings and activities, and feel a sense of belonging. Korean language skills are also helpful in effectively using foreign support services or counseling provided by government or private organizations. Active communication and exchange have a positive impact on resolving prejudice and increasing mutual understanding.

Adapting to a different climate and lifestyle from Nepal, such as Korea's distinct four seasons (especially the winter cold), the fast and convenient pace of life centered in large cities, and housing environment and prices (e.g., average monthly rent for a Seoul apartment in 2023 was over 600,000 KRW), is also an important task.

Korean Language Proficiency as a Solution: Korean language proficiency is essential for solving minor but important problems in daily life. In everyday life conducted in Korean, such as using public transportation, finding directions, using stores, visiting hospitals, and paying various utility bills, smooth communication maximizes the convenience of life and reduces trial and error. The ability to quickly acquire necessary living information and cope with crisis situations also depends on Korean language skills.

Major Countries Taking TOPIK and Trends in Acquiring High Levels:
Major countries with a large number of TOPIK test-takers due to high interest in Korean language education and increased human exchange with Korea include Vietnam, China, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Many test-takers achieving TOPIK Level 4 or higher are produced in these countries, and in Nepal, as the number of people coming to Korea through the Employment Permit System and studying abroad increases, the number of TOPIK test-takers is steadily growing, and many Nepali individuals with passion for learning Korean are acquiring Level 4 or higher, building a successful foundation in Korea. The important point is that regardless of specific nationality, learners who have a strong will to learn Korean and make consistent and systematic efforts are achieving proficiency at TOPIK Level 4 or higher and making their dreams in Korea a reality.
