Entrance, exit, no smoking, push, pull — signs you need to read.

1 / 20 This set covers the signs and notices you will meet every day in Korea: entrance and exit, no smoking, pull and push, open and closed, and warnings like danger and caution. Reading these quickly helps you stay safe and find your way in stations, shops, restaurants and public buildings. Most sign words are short Sino-Korean words, and many end in -구 (opening, as in 입구 and 출구) or -금지 (forbidden). A cultural note: shop doors usually show 당기세요 or 미세요 and shops often hang a small board that says open or preparing. Look at the picture, learn the word, and then try to spot it on a real door or wall.
Play a game on the street: every time you see a sign, read it in your head before you check the picture.
