Korean Signs You Should Recognize: Quiz!

I got the sudden inspiration to make a quiz about Korean signs. While living in Korea, you'll find that some signs are written in two languages, but many signs, especially off the beaten track, are only in Korean. These are some common signs you might see around that you may need to know (or not) and will definitely see around Korea. I took all these photos on my walk home from the subway station today.

Take the test: See how many of these you can recognize and translate. Some are easy to guess, others not so much. I've tried to put them in order from easiest to hardest, but it all depends on your personal experiences, of course. Record your results and check your answers in the key posted in the comments page. If people like this, I'll make another quiz with more signs!

1: 호프

2: 모텔

3: 노래방

6: 주차금지
