Hangul

Reading street signs

Exit 3, 화장실, 출구 — the city is already talking to you.

Penjelasan ini dalam bahasa Inggris. Kalimat Korea dan artinya mengikuti bahasamu.

Seoul writes its streets in Hangul plus just enough English to keep you humble. Once you can read exits and subway lines, the map stops lying to you.

The trick: signs use the exact syllable blocks you drilled. 지하철 (subway), 출구 (exit), 화장실 (bathroom). Read them out loud and your feet can follow.

Tonight's mission: on your way home, read five signs aloud. Wrong readings don't count against you — unread ones count against you.
