It wouldn't be a problem if you just learned to read hangeul ;)
No, really though - there's a reason that one of it's historic names is "writing you can learn within a morning". Granted, that was a derogatory name at the time, but the idea stands. It literally took me a week to learn the Korean alphabet. All the sounds, all the rules, all the combos - everything! I may not understand a word of what I'm reading (unless it has to do with food), but it's still a pretty cool thing.
Also - then you can order off the "special" menu. (It's common in casual Korean restaurants around here to have an english menu and a bunch of signs on the walls, written in hangeul, that have lots of things not on the menu).
