Korea is the country of courteous people in the East. That means polite Korean language is big portion of learning Korean language. Every each Korean has to use polite language to stranger, older people, etc. It is offending someone if Korean doesn’t use proper polite language; it can even cause a big fighting. However, you don’t have to worry too much as you are a foreigner because you can always use your foreigner card. Also, you don’t have to use polite language to your friends, small children, etc. As you know, Korean is a super hard language, so I don’t really want you to learn polite and impolite language separately because you can be confused. I recommend you that just use polite language just in case if you are confused in any situation especially in job fields. It seems like very unprofessional.
