@houfu In Korea, it's actually the opposite. While we're also pushed to learn English in school, it's extremely rare to use it in daily life before getting a job. Some professions are heavily exposed to English, but many don't require it at all. Meanwhile, English proficiency also functions as a sort of class marker in Korea, so many Koreans live with a sense of shame about their English skills.
