Speaking English is the hardest thing, says Jung-ho Kang.

Speaking English is the hardest thing, Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jung-ho Kang told Sports Seoul on Wednesday, but it's a problem he says he has to work through.
“영어로 말하는 게 가장 어렵다. 그러나 당연히 내가 극복해야 할 문제다”라고 했다.
The Pittsburgh Pirates website continues:
The language barrier is the most obvious difficulty facing Kang -- [interpreter Jae] Han sat beside him at his locker Wednesday morning -- but his teammates have been doing their best to work around it.

"They're trying to use the easy words, so everything's good," Kang said, laughing. "I can talk with them."
