Visiting Korea or starting Korean for the first time? Practise these three polite phrases. I run HangulHada and created this short guide for beginners.
KOREAN BASICS · 01
안녕하세요.
Hello.
A polite everyday greeting when meeting someone, such as a shop assistant or a new acquaintance.
감사합니다.
Thank you.
Say it after someone helps you or hands you something.
실례합니다.
Excuse me.
Use it to politely get someone's attention or when passing by them.
A 30-second mini practice
Imagine these moments:
① You meet a shop assistant.
② They help you find what you need.
③ You need to pass another customer.
Say a suitable Korean phrase for each moment. Then cover the English meanings and try again.
Check your answers
① 안녕하세요.
② 감사합니다.
③ 실례합니다.
