What if I can't travel in Korean?

In recent years, there are more and more foreigners visiting Korea, most of whom are tourists from China, Japan, Thailand and other Asian countries. Among them, more and more tourists choose self-help tours. For self-help tourists who travel to South Korea, language has become their biggest obstacle. Although you can communicate in English in Korea, signs and subway transfers are also explained in English. But not all local businesses and taxi drivers in Korea can speak English, and not all tourists who come to Korea can speak and read English. Therefore, in order to facilitate foreign tourists visiting Korea, the Korean government has launched a telephone translation service. 1. Taxi telephone translation service For the convenience of passengers, most taxis are equipped with telephone call system, simultaneous translation system, invoice printer and credit card settlement system. Because there are fewer drivers who are proficient in foreign languages, you might as well mark the destination on the map of Korea before getting on the bus, or write down the destination name in Chinese on paper. Generally, taxi bodies that provide translation services will have signs of free translation. You can use the pager to dial the service number to talk to the translator. The translation service is free. 2. 1330TT Call Center This service is a tourist information service telephone provided by Korea Tourism Bureau to foreign tourists, including translation services in Chinese, Japanese and English for foreigners. 1330 is the telephone number of the national tourism consulting representative jointly established by the Korea Tourism Development Board and local governments in Korea. When dialing in Seoul, the phone will be connected to the 1330TT call center, and when dialing in other areas, the phone will be connected to the nearby tourism comprehensive information office. 1330TT call center provides services 24 hours a year. The working hours of comprehensive tourist information offices in various places are generally 09:00-18:00, and after work, the phone will be connected to the 1330TT call center. When using a mobile phone, dial the area code first, then 1330, and you can get the local travel consultation service. ● When using in Korea-general telephone number: 1330- mobile phone number: area code+1330: Seoul Call Center (tourist hotline): 02+ 1330)* Only charge according to local telephone standard ● Abroad: +82+ area code +65438+. : +82+2+ 1330 area code 3. 1345 the comprehensive introduction center for foreigners provides multilingual services through the internet or telephone service, without language barriers. It introduces the needs and adaptation of foreigners living in Korea according to the Basic Law on the Treatment of Foreigners Living in Korea. The comprehensive introduction center for foreigners consists of network information in four languages: Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese. It is composed of Hi Korea website which fully supports foreigners to apply for services and 1345 telephone service which provides 1345 foreign language negotiation. 4.
