Autumn leaves

단풍 [dan-poong]: 【잎】 tinged autumnal leaves; red [crimson-tinted, scarlet-tinged] leaves; crimson foliage; 단풍이 들다 turn red{[yellow]}; be tinged with red; put on autumnal tints

I learnt this word last night, and today was the perfect opportunity to try it out. After a reasonably disappointing exhibition at the Seoul National Science Museum about light, the whole school went next door to Changgyeonggung to frolic in the reds, oranges, yellows and greens that the leaves have turned.

Awesome...

단풍나무: a maple tree

Just to add to your list of vocabulary above.

Wiktionnaire does not seem to be available in Korean :( I had to look the word up in my old Minjungseorim which probably does not exist any more.
