In Korea, more and more German-language terms are appearing in the public sphere. But the linguistic transfer often misses their meaning.
Michael Menke
SEOUL | Korea
Michael Menke came to Korea in 1991 to teach German at the university of Incheon for a year. He still does that to this day. When there are no lectures, he likes to travel or stay in Berlin. If the weather in Korea allows it, he rides his bike all over Seoul, because that's actually no more dangerous than in Berlin. He is also interested in modern classical music.
