Korean Tech Vocabulary — Words for Technology & Devices

Technology is a brilliant entry point into Korean, because the modern vocabulary is full of English loanwords written in Hangul — so you start out already half-understanding it. This page gathers Korean tech words: 컴퓨터 (computer), 전화 (phone), 인터넷 (internet), 화면 (screen), each with its English meaning and a button to hear it. Two things for English speakers to know. First, Korean is written in Hangul, an alphabet famous for being logical and quick to learn — far easier than its blocky look suggests, since each block is just a syllable spelled from simple letters. Second, apart from the loanwords, Korean shares no roots with English, so most words must be learned fresh rather than guessed — which makes hearing them early really valuable. Words like 컴퓨터 sound out almost like "computer" once you read the blocks. Tap any 🔊 to listen. Read the table to start decoding Hangul, then take the words into the game below, where matching each one cements both the script and the sound.
