Language is always a barrier. Without good German skills you have the opportunity of being a cleaning lady or building Autobahn here in Germany.

Also uprooting ones life to a different continent can be expensive

Are there no job positions where English could serve as an fallback language, like in STEM fields. (tech, healthcare, electronics, architecture) ?

That's kind of the same problem. People whose native languages aren't indo-European tend to be bad at English, but Asians are a whole different breed.

Korean people suck at English. At least compared to Germans.
