Looks like you can learn to read "imported" words fairly quickly similarly to katakana.

Is there a decent sized list of imported words anywhere?
I imagine it's nowhere near as many as Japan.

U could say the same thing Abt mandarin etc etc.

After 8 years of Japanese and 4 years of Korean, I think that actually there are even more imported words in Korean than in Japanese. This is just a gut feeling though, I don't have any fact about this. But if you count in the Chinese loanwords, Korean is the clear winner (more than half of the vocabulary is borrowed from Chinese, some sources claim that up to ~80 % is from Chinese)!

I don't know if there are somewhere "complete" lists of loanwords originated in English, but this is at least funny: http://koreanselfstudyisntlame.blogspot....-list.html
