Talk to Me in Korean's Quizzes (THE best Korean language learning website, by the way). This one was on Konglish terms. Konglish tends to mean the creation of Korean words based on the English term. For example, 주스 (joo-seu) is juice and 포크 (poh-keu) is fork. These konglish terms were a lot more difficult to guess because it's more "contemporary" terms like digital camera. Camera is "cam-a-ra' but I just learned that digital camera is "di-ca." The Korean language is so crazy sometimes.
