Landing: airport Korean in 40 minutes
Immigration says one word to you: 목적. Answer in nine.
설명은 영어입니다. 한국어 문장과 뜻은 선택한 언어를 따릅니다.
At immigration, 관광 (tourism) is the whole answer. 여행이요 with a smile is the upgrade. Nobody needs your life story — they need three words and your passport.
The baggage belt is 수하물. Lost luggage is the phrase you rehearse in the plane: 수하물이 없어요. Say it slow. Airport staff deal with this in English daily, but trying Korean turns strangers into teammates.
T-money card, AREX train, exit 3 — the airport teaches vocabulary faster than any app. 기차, 지하철, 택시: three rides, three words, muscle memory unlocked.
