On the third week, Brenda asked us to choose a topic in the textbook to learn. There are a lot of interesting topic such as shopping, tourism, restaurant and telephone. We finally decide to learn more about restaurant because we think it is important to learn how to order food in Korea. At the beginning of the class, we learned about the background of Korean meal. A Korean meal usually consists of rice, soup, main dishes, and side dishes. The rice and soup are served separately to each individual, but the main dished and side dished are placed in the center of the table to shared with others. There is no need to leave a tip. This is actually really similar with Chinese meal. And since I have watched a great number of Korean show, I had plenty of knowledge about 식당 （restaurant) in Korea.
After having a basic understanding of Korean meal, we learn how to order in Korean.
여기요 (Excuse me!) in for calling a waiter. And the waiter will reply 주문하시겟슴니까? This means that would you like to order? And then you can start to order. For example, you want two orders of Bulgogi. Then you should say,불고기 2 인분 주세요. In this way, you successfully order two orders of bulgogi. Then, the waiter will say 네, 알겠습니다. This means yes sir/ma’am.
Except this, we also learned a lot of conversation related with restaurant.
Is there a good Korean restaurant nearby? 근처에 좋은 한국 식당이 있습니까?
May I please have a menu? 메뉴 좀 주세요?
What is the most popular dish here? 여기서 가장 인기있는 요리는 무엇입니까?
I would like to order. 주문 할게요
We will have one Samgyetang and one Bibimbap please. 삼게탕하고 비빔밤 주세요
Please leave out the Gochujang. 고추장 뻬주세요.
At the same time, we also learned a lot of vocabulary about 식당.
Side dish: 반찬
Salt: 소금
Pork: 돼지고기
Chopsticks:젓가락
Check:게산서
Delicious: 맛있는
It is spicy:매운 맛입니다.
Water: 물
Peper:후추
Fork:포크
Spoon:숟가락
Pay:계산
With these examples of conversation, we practiced with each other to order food in Korean.
On the fourth week, we also learned some vocabularies related to dormitory and country.

In these two weeks, I did learn a lot. I believe the knowledge that I learned in the class will definitely help me live in Korean. And I really liked the way we learned in class. Practice makes perfect. Only when we really apply what we learned by making sentences on our own, we will say it more fluently.
