KOREAN LANGUAGE. To Foreigners in Korea: Please learn a little Korean. From here: A video is circulating on the Korean Internet of a black gentleman yelling at and threatening an elderly Korean couple. His violent behavior was the result of him misunderstanding the elderly man’s comment to him. The elderly man reportedly said “니가 여기 앉아” (a sign of consideration) but not knowing Korean, the man in question interpreted “니가” as the N-word which led to his violent outburst. *The video in question is at the bottom of this article. 부모님은 참 자랑스러워 하시겠다. UPDATE (by Robert Koehler): The IBT speculates as to the initial cause of the brouhaha. I have no idea if that’s true, but the scenario is plausible enough, and serves as an opportunity for the second piece of unsolicited advice we at the Marmot’s Hole will proffer today — in addition to learning a bit of Korean, please, for the love of Christ, keep your voices down when speaking English on buses and subways.

In my interpretation, a common or fixed expression in a language is a phrase, clause or short sentence that is frequently used and has minimal or no change of word. Of course "do not make it spicy" is not a common expression but you are going to need that sentence in Korea if you cannot take spicy food. Here I just focus on phrases that cannot be easily simulated by nonverbal communication (facial expression, hand signal etc) and by universally known phrases like "OK".
And I avoid some dumb questions too like "Do you speak English". In Korean an expression can be conveyed in several different sentences. The pronunciation here is not written according to standard Korean textbook because I think people will not pronounce Korean correctly with the existing method. Anyway if you do not want to pronounce it, you can show them the Korean sentence from this list. If you are a Korean and you want to know common expressions in English, you can work backward.
