The nuance
What makes Korean different
Korean encodes respect in the grammar through speech levels: the verb endings change depending on who you are speaking to and how formal the moment is. Talk to an elder the way you would a close friend and it reads as rude, even with the right words. Interpreting Korean well means getting that level right.
