I'm planning on doing a food-related lesson next week for my HS students. I would like to teach them words to describe how food smells/tastes, specifically the following:

Spicy
Sweet
Sour
Bitter
Salty
Bland
Delicious
Awful/terrible

I'm quickly discovering that my dictionary is totally ridiculous in regards to words I actually want to know. So if someone would be so kind as to translate these words into Korean for me, I would really appreciate it. After a terrible class last period, I'm not in the mood to ask my co-teachers for anything right now. Mad
Thanks for your help!

Just a suggestion... something that also works well is to bring in lots of pics of things they'll be familiar with, and mime out the words

<eg... lemon... oooh sour!>
<candy/chocolate is sweet>
<chili/gochu is hot/spicy>

or bring in items they can taste (sugar, salt, uncooked-rice, chilipeppers... etc)

sweet could also be 단/달콤한

i think when it comes to taste, bland should be 싱거운.
온화한 is more for an emotion, or a disposition.
