How do I adress a letter to Korea?

Question

I want to write a letter to friend in Korea but i don't know what language I should put the adress in
Is there a different kind of stamp that i have to use and where can i get one

Answer 1

All international mail goes to Seoul, Korea, so make sure you write that in English. After that, you caneither use English or Korean. If you write it in Korea, has better chance to be correctly delivered. If you want to know how to write it, I'll write it for you so you can print. (Email me)
Stamp cost more than US mail - (used to be 50 cents, but not sure how much it increased) so better mail it out at the post office.

Answer 2

To ensure your letter is addressed correctly, use my trick of many years ago.

Even if the address is written in English, take the letter to your nearest Korean Imported Food Store.

Usually, the Korean people owning the stores are extremely helpful and will write the address for you in the Korean Language. Underneath the address written in Korean, write the words "South Korea" in English. That way, any mail handlers will know how to direct the letter for mailing.

That way, your letter is (absolutely) written with the correct address.

Also, you might want to take along some stickers so that the people can write a few address labels for you. (Usually a purchase of some item in their store will ensure success.)

Or perhaps you could find somebody in your neighborhood who can write the Korean language.

You can use American Postage Stamps on your letter, but you must ensure it's mailed from a Post Office. This ensures the correct amount of postage is applied for International Mailing.

Answer 3

You use a standard air mail stamp from the U.S. post office (assuming that's where you're mailing it from).

As to whether you should write in English or Hangul, I wrote a thank you note to a Korean friend's parents, and my friend addressed it in English. I queried her about it, and she said it would arrive without a problem. Unfortunately, it arrived weeks late.

You should probably address it in both English and Hangul, just to be on the safe side.

Answer 4

just write it in english and go to the post office they will handle the stamps you handle the money for the stamps.

Answer 5

THE post office could help you with that and the stamps.

Answer 6

You can write it in English...and a US stamp if you're mailing it in the US.
