Are You Human Too first impression: I don’t speak Czech, so I may be wrong here, but kang joon sounded really fluent?? Been a while since I’ve heard a foreign language spoken so fluently in a drama
I thought the same thing! To my untrained ear, his Czech actually sounded like what I expect Czech to sound like and not like a weird gibberish mixture of Korean and Czech. 😅
I was quite surprised that he did so well cause Czech language is extremely difficult for East Asians. I’m legally considered Czech of Vietnamese descent but I think of myself more as Czech Vietnamese . And I can tell you a lot of Vietnamese of first generation who’s lived here over decades don’t ever speak fluently as he did.
I know you mentioned that Nam Shin’s accent wasn’t as good as Nam Shin III’s. I wonder if that was intentional (a robot is of course going to have a better accent than a human) or if the Nam Shin scenes were just shot earlier and he didn’t have as good of a grasp on the language yet 😛

@cherryinbloom said that his Czech was pretty decent.
