foreign language
🌍📖 외국어 = 外 outside + 國 country + 語 language: outside-country language
Three hanja blocks: 외 (外, outside), 국 (國, country), 어 (語, language). 외국 alone means foreign country, and 어 is the same language suffix as in 한국어 (Korean) and 영어 (English). Add 어 to a place and you get its tongue.
