Foreigners studying Korean

In my elementary school class today I said 한국어는 외국일을 위한 한 언어가 안입니다.  Korean is not for foreigners.  They were so agreeing with me, they had no idea that I was a foreigner, their acceptance of this statement was 100% unconditional as true.  Such blatant across-the-board conviction.  I was floored.  I know understand why I get compliments, and then the conversation stops.  Nevertheless, despite these barriers, Korean is truly good for conversing with those who do not know English.  If a Korean knows English, the foreigner will lose.  However, in a case where the counterpart doesn’t speak English, appreciation is given in private when he/she is glad they can talk in a relaxed manner with the foreigner.
