Konglish

Konglish is one of my favourite things to find in Korea. What is Konglish, you might ask? According to Google:

    Konglish (Korean: 콩글리시/콩글리쉬 or more formally Hangul: 한국어식 영어; hanja: 韓國語式英語 "Korean language style English") is the macaronic use of English words or words derived from English words in a Korean context.
It's basically poorly translated English, and it is ALWAYS a win. Here are some treats that I have found while living here.

1. An amazing timeline of a BBQ place called "Self Bar"


2. This ode to MSG as I completed a Korean mahjong game 

 

3. This chocolate bar title, which accidentally uses the colloquial term "crunk" instead of "crunch"


4. Margaret's cookies, with this unfortunate grammatical error.


5. This.


6. This abruptly ended sentence found on the back of a hand mirror.


7. Shall we???


8. Such a new feeling!


9. Jeju's attempt at being global.


10. Guys! Keep safety!


If you love it as much as I love do, google image search Konglish and enjoy the ride.
