Go up to "View" at the top of the screen (between "Edit" and "Favorites"). Drag down to "Encoding", and select "Korean" on the list off to the right. That will allow you to read the Korean characters. |

Number 6 is pretty dirty.
Literal translation: "do it with your mouth."
I'm pretty sure y'all can guess what that implies 
Sparkles*_*
PS - number 7 could also be d), that is, if you're at a restaurant and there are no chopsticks at the table. |

Thank you!! I got 9 out of ten..... I clearly wasn't in the right state of mind when reading number 6. I did however enjoy the last question that was quite funny...
The quiz was a great idea! Lots of fun.  |

#7 can also be D...a lot of times the chopsticks aren't on the table and you have to ask for them.
Maybe I should get a bonus point for pointing that out 
Only 2 that I missed...didn't know the vocab. |

#1 is D. Not A
it is spelled 안녕하십니까?
not 안녕하심니까 even though the pronunciations are exactly the same. It is not Korean at all. |

My bad: Best answer is D. Although you could ask for chopsticks at the LG 25 when buying ramyon!
PS. I have changed the spelling on number 1. Is it right now? |
