I read somewhere that "Coca cola" is around 4 or 5 in the most spoken english words/expressions in the english language. It's actually 'refreshing' to think that it's not one of the first things they learn in english here. I don't seem to remember many people saying coca cola, maybe 'cola' but thats slightly different.

Better to learn "hi" "how are you" which are greetings, rather than the name of a multinational company which invented santa, and created the red and white attire that 'he' wears to mirror the colour of the divine drink in which he was contructed to aid to sell.

I'm willing to bet most of the first English words that Koreans (and other nationalities for that matter) learn have four letters in them.
