- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and as always, Luna is here with me. Luna: Hey everyone! I'm ready to learn some more Korean. What are we diving into today? Lucas: Today, we're going to a Korean cafe. You know, coffee shops are everywhere in Korea, so it's super useful to know how to order. Luna: Oh, I love coffee! I always get an iced Americano. Okay, let's learn the phrases. Lucas: First, when you walk in, you might need to ask for the menu. Say: 메뉴판 주세요. That means 'Menu, please.' Luna: 메뉴판 주세요. 메뉴판 주세요. Lucas: Perfect. 메뉴판 is menu board, 주세요 is please give me. So literally 'Menu board, please.' Luna: Got it. So if I want to order my iced Americano, I say...? Lucas: 아이스 아메리카노 주세요. Iced Americano, please. Luna: 아이스 아메리카노 주세요. That's easy! 아이스 아메리카노. Lucas: Yes. Now, sometimes you might want less ice. In Korea, they often put a lot of ice. So you can say: 얼음 적게 주세요. 'Please give less ice.' Luna: 얼음 적게 주세요. 얼음 is ice, 적게 is less, 주세요 is please give. 얼음 적게 주세요. Lucas: Exactly. Now, do you want to sit in the cafe or take it to go? For here, say: 여기서 먹을게요. 'I'll eat here.' Luna: 여기서 먹을게요. 여기서 is here, 먹을게요 is I'll eat. 여기서 먹을게요. Lucas: And for takeout, just say: 테이크아웃이요. That's literally 'takeout' with a polite ending. Luna: 테이크아웃이요. Sounds like English, so easy to remember! Lucas: Alright, let's put it all together. Imagine you walk into a cafe. What do you say first? Luna: 메뉴판 주세요. Lucas: Good. Then you decide to order an iced Americano with less ice, for here. Luna: 아이스 아메리카노 주세요. 얼음 적게 주세요. 여기서 먹을게요. Lucas: Excellent! You just ordered like a pro. Let's practice one more time. Repeat after me: 메뉴판 주세요. Luna: 메뉴판 주세요. Lucas: 아이스 아메리카노 주세요. Luna: 아이스 아메리카노 주세요. Lucas: 얼음 적게 주세요. Luna: 얼음 적게 주세요. Lucas: 여기서 먹을게요. Luna: 여기서 먹을게요. Lucas: Or 테이크아웃이요. Luna: 테이크아웃이요.
