Question about English (US)
Not many of people that I know married foreigners. I think it's because most Koreans are conservative. Though most people are interested in culture of other countries and like to hang out with foreigners, it's not easy to communicate with them deeply. It's not only the problem with languages. It has something to do with the difference of thought. Many people doubt it's just a little small thing.
(does this sound natural?)

I don't know many people who are married to someone from another country. I think it's because most Koreans are reserved around foreigners.
Although many are interested in the culture of other countries and like to spend time with foreigners, it's not easy to communicate with them on a meaningful level. It's not just an issue of speaking the language; it's more of a difference in thought. Many people feel that this is a significant barrier to genuine communication.

I don't think "conservative" is the word you're looking for in this sentence. "Reserved" is my best guess.
Please let me know if this isn't the right word and we will find it together.

@Shafica Thank you so much! 😊Actually I found it in an internet dictionary, It says the example 'he is conservative' , so I thought it makes sense. By the look at your answer, don't the natives use this sentence? And... you corrected most of my writing.😅I want to know about which sentences are wrong .

Most of my corrections were either to make the sentence simpler or to avoid using the same word over again (like foreigner)
When a question is in this format instead of the "Does this sound natural?" format, it's harder to review it line by line. I read it a couple of times and then start writing. Sometimes I get carried away (sorry).
Lete try again...
