Konglish: the use of English words in a Korean contextKonglish could almost be considered an artform in Korea. You see it on t-shirts, restaurant signs, coffee cups, candy, and even on the man/woman matching underwear seen everywhere. As a result of the strong structural differences between the Korean language and English, there is lots of room for grammar and vocabulary mishaps (and chuckles for us native English speakers). The one on the left here is one of my favorite Konglish examples from this past weekend while walking through a mountain village near our home known for serving goat and duck.
