Put the phrases to use
- For directions: keep your destination name or map open, then use the directions phrase to start the conversation.
- For shopping and meals: point to the item or menu entry when asking the price, and check the amount before paying.
- For pronunciation: listen, pause and repeat. Romanized spelling is a reading aid; the Korean text is more useful to show a local speaker. If audio is unavailable on your device, you can still use the written phrases.
