The Future

You may have noticed there are several ways of referring to the future in Korean.

You probably already know 미래 and 앞으로 today I encountered 장래 in lesson 5 of Intermediate College Korean. It seemed somewhat familiar because of the second syllable is the same 한자 as in 미래, i.e 來 {come}. It seems to me that 미래 is more commonly used but that may be because I didn't know 장래 and hence did not pick up on it. At the moment I often 장래를 생각하다.
