Hi everyone! I'm Lindie from South Africa
So on Kakao Talk there's Open Talk where you can talk to random people
So I want to see if Koreans will know whether or not I'm a foreigner if I call them
Ok so let's start voice talk!
Ok let's begin
I'll call the chatroom "Let's voicetalk"
And my name will be "kkyu"
Let's start
Wow there are so many chats already (after a few mins)
What to do
This person says they want to call
"I'll send you my profile"
I sent it
So nervous
Do I have to change my photo? I guess it really does look like a foreigner
Right?
Ohhhh someone is calling!
Why am I as excited as an elementary school student lol
Hello?
- Can you hear? - Hello?
Are you a foreigner?
Ah how did you know?
I'm from South Africa
Ohh South Africa?
I won't be able to speak English
It's OK
English is very hard
But I'll try!
I'll support you
You live in South Africa but why do you speak Korean so well?
I taught myself
Oh really? That's awesome
So wait how did you know I was a foreigner?
Your voice is a bit different
Ah I see, I'm letting out signs that I'm not Korean
It died! What? I pressed something wrong lol
Sorry mister
Let's go to the next person
"Are you on a call?"
"Not right now"
"Shall we talk" "Yeah"
Oh they're calling!!
Hello?
Hello? Yes hello
Can you hear me?
[After we agree to speak informal Korean]
I'm not in Korea now but I'm planning to go soon
oh rly
So where are you right now?
I'm in SA now
Did you go for holiday?
I went for work (which is true)
South Africa?
The person said they were tired and had to sleep lol
-OK let's talk later -Sure
Sleep well
That person was sooo awkward
I couldn't hear well either
But they didn't even ask if I'm a foreigner
They kinda look a bit scary in their photo lol
So my name is "Kkyu" and this person's name is "Kku" so let's talk to mister Kku
Nice to meet you
Yes, how old are you?
25 (Korean age)
What's wrong with Kakaotalk?
It doesn't actually seem like this person is older than me, they sound a bit young
They're not answering
nvm
Ok let's go to the next person
Here are so many chats I haven't read
Ok I sent my profile to someone else
Ahhh they're already asking if I'm a foreigner lol
Ah I guess my photo is the problem, I gotta change it
I changed it to flowers if you look carefully
Mr "Let's voicetalk" sent me a message
They say hello
Hello
Can you hear me?
Yes I can hear, hello
Yes. Hi
How old are you~~~~?
We spoke earlier and I said we're the same age
Oh you said so heheueuhegbuehghhhh
Where do you live?
I live overseas rn
-Where? -South Africa
[Don't laugh, Lindie]
South Africa? Yes
But I'd like to go to Korea soon. I'm looking for a design job there
Oh yeah?
So if you're gonna go to Seoul, it means you don't live in Seoul?
I've never lived in Korea
Oh you haven't?
If you're a designer then it should be ? right (I couldn't hear what he said)
Well since I'm a foreigner I don't know if I'll get the job or not
Oh you're a foreigner!?
-Oh I thought you were a Korean living in South Africa! - Nope!
So you're South African?
yes
mmmm
I really thought you were Korean!
Didn't my accent give it away that I'm not Korean?
Not at all! I didn't even imagine that.
I thought you were a Korean student who went to South Africa
Let's meet someone else
Ok this is a guy one year older than me
Hello
Let's speak informally
Oh ok

So thats why I asked if you live in Seoul
Oh thank you

Ok so there are also these kinds of people
Hi, hello, how old are you? I'm 25
-Where do you live? - South Africa
Then they just laughed
So I asked them to send their profile so we can call
They said let's just do a normal phone call
I was like but I'm overseas so we have to call through Kakao
Oh are you really in SA? they asked. I said yes
Heol
-Is that a no? - I'm flustered
