Immigrants get help adapting to Korean life

“I eventually married a Korean man. Now I’ve lived here for three years and eight months and I live happily with my son and parents-in-law. I didn’t speak Korean when I first arrived, but I picked up the language quickly after bothering my teachers at the Goyang Multicultural Family Support Center to give me a spelling test every day even if there wasn’t a language class. I even practiced my Korean by speaking to random people at bus stops.” “I had the prejudice that most multicultural families struggle financially and live unhappily, but after listening to Jumaboyeva, I learned that some marriage immigrants have cheerful souls and are willing to live happily. I have the hope that multicultural families won’t be a problem for Korea’s future if both Koreans and immigrants work together to understand their differences.” “Normally, fathers play down the importance of having children speak in the mother’s language at home because, while many of them tend to look up to English and French speakers, they tend to look down on speakers of Southeast Asian languages,” said Jang Heun-seong, head of the Gumi Multicultural Family Support Center. “Children who participate in the contest gain confidence about being bilingual. They realize that being different isn’t a fault but a source of pride and joy. “I decided to earn a college degree because I wanted to be a good mother to my five-year-old son, Si-hyeon,” she said. “Many moms in multicultural families agonize over this, because a person can’t help with her child’s education if she doesn’t speak Korean well - and many moms in multicultural families don’t because they didn’t go to school here. These women are deeply concerned that their children will lag behind in school. Kim Hee-jin, the official from the Goyang Multicultural Family Support Center, also said the government needs to provide more permanent full-time positions at multiethnic family centers nationwide. “Most workers at [multiethnic family] centers across the country are in temporary positions and have to have their contracts renewed every two to three years,” Kim said. “They also tend to leave these jobs because the work is very demanding and without much reward.
