This set covers the main ways to get around in Korea: buses, taxis, the subway, trains, planes, bikes and the roads they use. You will use these words when you ask how to get somewhere, buy a ticket, or talk about your commute. Korean public transport is clean and easy, and one transit card works on city buses and subways. A cultural note: Korea has a fast train network, and long-distance express buses connect almost every city. Look at each picture, say the word aloud, and make a short sentence about how you get to school or work.
