The Seoul Metropolitan Government started Monday to provide an English help line for expatriates in Seoul at the Seoul Help Center for Foreigners.
"You may talk to English-speaking foreign volunteers to get general information on daily living by calling (02) 797-8212," said a press release from the city government.
It also said English-speaking volunteers would staff the general information desk of the SHC weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Inquiries may be made in person, by telephone or by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . The office is located near Seoul City Hall.
The 24-hour medical referral service for foreigners was launched April 6 and is operated by medically qualified English speakers. The SHC has combined services with FOCUS, a nonprofit, multinational organization serving the foreign community in Seoul since 1976.

“I had been teaching ESL in Europe and Asia for four years when I contacted Footprints. Before I found Footprints, I was independently searching for a position in Seoul and I was extremely hesitant to pursue any of the contracts that I was offered. The schools and other recruiting firms that I came into contact with were offering contracts with suspicious clauses and inadequate housing. I knew that Ben and Jeff ran a professional service as soon as I spoke to them on the phone. I have since completed my one year contract in Seoul and can honestly say that everything went well from beginning to end. Although Korea is not always the easiest place to live, Footprints makes the transition so much smoother. Footprints is upfront, honest and dependable. I would highly recommend their service for anyone considering teaching abroad and would not hesitate to re-sign with Footprints in the future.”
