Hangul

Konglish you already speak

커피, 카드, 카메라 — free vocabulary is real.

Korean borrowed thousands of English words, then spelled them strictly by sound. 커피 = ko-pi = coffee. 카드 = ka-deu = card.

The tell: final consonants get 으 added. 컴퓨터 (computer), 택시 (taxi), 아이스크림 (ice cream). Vowels split where English blends.
