WASHINGTON - How does one present Korea's image to the world?

I propose that there should be more Korean people who can speak English at street level. The best means to present the best image is good language. English is the international business language and is spoken by people all over the world. The language is an essential tool for the Korean people to convey their image to foreign people. It's the container of Korean goods and services.
