Ages in foreign countries are confusing for Koreans! -Vice Versa

When I go to another country I always confuse how old I am in there. Most country people give thier age from date of their birth, whereas Korean give their age from the year of their birth, or comthing like that. When asked their age by an foreign, Koreans might reply : “I am 22, but in foreign years, I’am 20.” Therefore, to be helpful, just think first and give the foreign your age in foreign years. Usaully, foreign(including my foreign friends) don’t like Korean ages because it looks old enough !
