One of the first questions you’ll be asked when meeting someone in Korea is ‘Where are you from?’ – “어디 사람이에요?’
Whether you’re from Canada or Colombia, this lesson on countries in Korean will prepare you for that question and help you ask them in return...and understand the answer!
Practice these country names out loud so you can sound natural when talking to a native Korean speaker!

Rocket Record lets you perfect your Korean pronunciation. Just listen to the native speaker audio and then use the microphone icon to record yourself. Once you’re done, you’ll get a score out of 100 on your pronunciation and can listen to your own audio playback. (Use a headset mic for best results.) Problems? Click here!
