Can anyone speak Korean?

Hi

I'm not sure to post this but I need to find someone who can speak Korean... Can anyone here or can anyone point me in the right direction. Google translate etc is no good to me, I need someone who can speak the language to translate a few short phrases exactly.

Thanks!!

How short and simple are these phrases ? Google translate isn't terrible if the phrases are very short and simple. It'll be obvious that it's machine translated though and it'll probably sound quite strange.

e.g. If you throw "I love you" into Google it will translate it as;

난 당신을 사랑 해요.
I(Subject) you(Object) Love Do(Polite)

Koreans will understand this without any problem but it'll be obvious it's machine translated because in Korean you very rarely use pronouns and you'd never use them when talking to someone directly like this. So a Korean would just say;

사랑해. Literally 'Love do'. No need for 'I' or 'You' or the 요 which is just for politeness. In fact saying 'I' or 'My' in Korean is not only unnecessary but considered rude most of the time.
