Question about Korean
What is the most polite way to reply to someone who says your Korean is really good/they're jealous of your language skills, in Korean? I've heard that saying thank you to compliments would sound somewhat rude, so I'm always afraid to reply when they say something, shaking my head no which is probably even more rude

When people start complimenting you.
1. Deny it.
아니에요~~~ 아직 멀었어요~~
And if they keep complimenting
2. 더 열심히 해야죠~~ or 더 공부해야돼요
is best way to react to compliment here in Korea lol
