1 / 20 Korea is a mountainous country with a long coastline, so nature words come up all the time in conversation, hiking trips and weekend plans. Most of the land is mountainous, and hiking (등산) is one of the most popular hobbies for all ages. This set of 20 words covers mountains, rivers, the sea, trees, flowers, the sky and more. You will see these words on trail signs, in travel blogs, in song lyrics and when you talk about where you want to go on a day off. Many of them are short, one-syllable words like 산, 강 and 별, which makes them easy to pick up. Cultural note: Koreans often name places with these words, such as 한강 (the Han River) and 한라산 (Mount Halla).
Use the picture first: cover the Korean word, name each scene in your head, then check. Short words like 산 and 강 are great for pronunciation practice.
