110 Learning Journal #10

[Stephen Huffnagle]

For week 10, my goal was to learn how to order food in Korean, as well as learn some basic terms for Korean food. I actually got to try out this skill pretty recently when I visited a friend in Maryland, because we went to a Korean BBQ restaurant. All of the staff spoke Korean, so they were happy to take my fumbling orders in their language. This week, I learned how to ask for the menu: "mehnyu juseyo", the bill: "gyesansuh juseyo", water: "mool juseyo", as well as asking for something I'm pointing at: "eguh juseyo". I also learned to compliment a meal: "masshisuyo" and fight over a bill: "jaega nalgaeyo" (it's on me). Also, when you are leaving a restaurant you would say "anyonghee gyeseyo" because you are leaving and the other person is staying. I found this resource to be very helpful: http://www.sweetandtastytv.com/blog/korean-phrases-ordering-food-at-a-restaurant ;
