Message: Ok, here's the low down. Currently an IBK analyst in the UK with a well respected British I-Banking firm (no ofice in Seoul, so no possibility of internal transfer). Further, I am Korean, and would like to work in Seoul for a couple of years, preferably with a major European or American house. Now here is the problem: I can't speak my native language! I can understand most of it but cannot converse, read or write using Korean. So do I stand a chance? Note that I have recently begun to learn the language (Berlitz, and conversational handbooks), but more so on a conversational basis. Please advise.
