Good job!

There's just three words that I would like to suggest different words for

Cherry 버찌 --> 체리
Grapefruit 그레이프프루트 --> 자몽
Plum 자도 --> 자두

오빠, 고마워요 ^O^/

I was really surprised at how many of them are just Korean versions of the English words. Do you think it's because some of them don't grow naturally in Korea, so they were imported as foreign foods thus never got Korean names?

Exactly Many of them are not natively grown in Korea. And there are also some fruits that are natively grown in Korean that are not very clear what they are when translated into English.

An example is 참외 and so is 귤.
