Mini Vocabulary with Countries

Now it's time to put your handy Korean skills and figure out the meaning of the following words!

Because Hangul is partly influenced by English there are some borrowed words.
Let's try it!

버스
커피
카메라
코트
재즈
텔레비전
소파
로맨스
택시
스타 벅스
핫도그
샌드위치
햄버거
컴퓨터

In case you were not able to get them all: television, computer, sofa, coffee, Starbucks, jazz, camera, hamburger, bus, coat, romance, sandwich, hot dog.

Hangul does not have a "f", "c" and "x" sound in their vocabulary. This is compensated for the sound of what it sounds like to them in their natural language if you were able to match the translation with the Hangul.

Imagine the countries!

브라질
멕시코
이탈리아

잉글랜드
캐나다

Those were the easier ones. Here are the harder ones:

노르웨이
핀란드

필리핀 제도
프랑스
스페인


Here is the list in no particular order: France, Spain, Italy, Finland, Mexico, Brazil, Norway, Philippines, England, Canada.

And last but not least, America (미국).
