Random fun fact: when an English speaker says "strike", a Korean speaker hears five syllables.

seu-teu-ra-i-keu

(Well, to be fair, it's more like "an awful lot of sounds that have no business being in the same syllable merged together", and less "five distinct syllables", but still that's how Koreans end up writing the sound in Korean.)
