- Lucas: 안녕하세요! Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and this is Luna. Luna: Hi everyone! I'm so ready for today. I need some caffeine. Lucas: Oh, perfect timing. Because today we're learning how to order coffee in Korean. Luna: Yes! I've been wanting to go to a Korean cafe and actually order in Korean. Lucas: It's super useful. Let's start with the basics. The first thing you'll say when you walk in is '여기요'. Luna: 여기요? What does that mean? Lucas: It means 'Excuse me' or 'Over here' — like calling the server's attention. Say it with me: 여기요. Luna: 여기요. Lucas: Great! Now the server will probably ask you '뭐 드릴까요?' which means 'What can I get you?' Luna: 뭐 드릴까요? That's a mouthful. Lucas: Break it down. 뭐 means 'what', 드릴까요 means 'shall I give'. 뭐 드릴까요? Luna: 뭐 드릴까요? Lucas: Perfect. Now your response: you can say '커피 주세요' — 'Coffee, please'. 주세요 means 'please give me'. Luna: 커피 주세요. That's easy. But what if I want something specific, like an iced Americano? Lucas: Good question. You can say '아메리카노 주세요'. 아메리카노 is Americano. Luna: 아메리카노 주세요. I love that. Lucas: Then the server brings it and says '여기 있습니다' — 'Here you are.' Luna: 여기 있습니다. So 여기요 is calling, 여기 있습니다 is handing over. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice a full scene. I'll be the server. Luna: Okay! 여기요. Lucas: 뭐 드릴까요? Luna: 아메리카노 주세요. Lucas: 여기 있습니다. Luna: Ahh, I feel so cool. Can we do it again? Slower this time. Lucas: Sure. First, you say: 여기요. Luna: 여기요. Lucas: Then I say: 뭐 드릴까요? — 뭐 드릴까요? Luna: 뭐 드릴까요? Lucas: Then you say: 커피 주세요 — or 아메리카노 주세요. Luna: 아메리카노 주세요. Lucas: And I hand it over: 여기 있습니다. Luna: 여기 있습니다. Got it. Lucas: Let's try it one more time, but this time you order a regular coffee. Ready? Luna: Ready. 여기요! Lucas: 뭐 드릴까요? Luna: 커피 주세요. Lucas: 여기 있습니다. Luna: You're a natural, Luna. And listeners, you can practice this at home. Just imagine you're at a cafe. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. Our phrases today: 여기요, 뭐 드릴까요?, 커피 주세요, 아메리카노 주세요, 여기 있습니다. Luna: Repeat after Lucas, everyone. 여기요. Lucas: 뭐 드릴까요? Luna: 커피 주세요. Lucas: 아메리카노 주세요. Luna: 여기 있습니다. Lucas: Perfect. That's all for today's episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo.
