Shops & Shop Signs 가게
Words you will see on shop signs in Korea.

1 / 20 This set covers the shops you will see on every Korean street, from the bakery and flower shop to the karaoke room and the jjimjilbang. Shop names are usually made from what the shop sells plus a short ending such as -집, -점 or -가게, so once you learn the pattern you can read most signs. You will use these words when you look for a place on a map, follow a friend's directions, or decide where to eat. A cultural note: many Korean shops and restaurants are small and family run, and a sign often shows only a picture and the shop type. Look at each picture, say the word aloud, and try to spot the real shop type on your next walk.
Walk down a street and read the shop signs out loud. Each sign is a free flashcard.
