How to start a Korean–English video call with live captions
Use one sentence in each language to check that both people can follow. Then ask about a specific moment, such as a meal they remember after a long day.
Confirm names and titles in writingAgree how you’ll address each other
Ask what name or title they’d like you to use. Caption text may not carry the social tone you heard. If the translation sounds abrupt or unusually formal, ask what the speaker meant and give them time to clarify.
Write a title when the wording matters
If you’re discussing a song or series, type the original title and share the name you know. Continue with an open question like “Which part made you want to tell someone about it?” You can hear two different reactions even if some of the exact phrasing takes a second attempt.
