여러분… 이런 곳에 가 본 적이 있니요? (Everyone… have you ever been to a place like this?)
Tuesday at 8:41 pm
I was at a restaurant once and we couldn’t get anyone’s attention to get the check. So I said-”Let’s get up and start to leave. That’ll get their attention” But it didn’t!
We loitered at the cash register a minute, and then just left without paying. That was bad service and it cost them.
I just hope in this lesson that 손님 hasn’t lost his wallet.
That seems to happen often around here!
Tuesday at 10:36 pm
haha, jasons comment was funny
and im happy cause i finally think ive graduated from newbie lessons
the past few lessons, ive been able to understand the whole thing!….cool
Wednesday at 12:42 am
Can i say 손님는 왕입니다 ?
Jeff (rooster),졸업 축하해요!
Wednesday at 11:12 am
저도 이런 곳에 가 본 적 있어요! 그런데 일부러 무례하게 하는 곳이었어요.

(I’ve been to a place like this too! But they were being rude on purpose

ㅋㅋㅋ
그렇게 불친절한 식당이라면,
정말 그래도 싸요!! (It serves them right!!)
Jeff
Congratulations!! 축하 축하!!
Jacqueline
yeah you can say 손님은 왕입니다, 손님이 왕이다, 손님이 왕이에요, whichever you want
Wednesday at 11:53 am
I went to a hotdog shop in chicago called the Weiner Circle. The people there are famous for being rude, and people go there for the BAD service. But they were nice to me!
Jason - Was the food good at least? I’ll take a free meal any day. And they seemed to really deserve losing out on a check
Jeff - Great to hear that you feel like you’re progressing! Some of the future Newbies are good to listen to. But how about jumping into the Beginner Lessons? Maybe Season 1 if you’re up to it
Jacqueline - Do you have a saying like that in the Dominican Republic? How’s the service there?
Wednesday at 12:32 pm
I don’t know where to begin! Help some one! I’m so confused where to begin!

Wow, what uncanny timing.
Wednesday at 6:49 pm
Congratulations, Jeff (rooster)! I feel the same way too!
When I do the beginner lessons I sometimes feel like my head’s exploding, but when I do a newbie, I suddenly feel like I know something after all!
There’s a Chinese restaurant in London’s Chinatown that’s also infamous for rude service and mediocre food. But curious tourists just flock there!! If there are, say, only 2 of you and it’s a 4-seat table, they make you sit side-by-side so as to share the table with other customers! Extremely strange. And when you ask for more chilli oil, they will point to the bottle and say there’s some more, use up to the last drop before you ask for more!!
Wednesday at 10:38 pm
haha, i already listen to beginner lessons :] …. infact i listen to everything on this website
m ITS ALL SO FASCINATING!!!
and thank you Shan, Hyunwoo, and Jacqueline
you guys create such a positive learning environment
Thursday at 1:40 pm
Shan, I know exactly how you feel…newbie lessons are too easy, but my head is still spinning from the last beginner lesson
Once at an Italian restaurant, I couldn’t finish my pasta because the serving was huge. The manager was walking around and when he got to my table and saw how much food I’d left, he said in a very concerned way, “What’s the matter? You didn’t finish your pasta!” He wasn’t rude, just…maybe worried that I didn’t like it? It was cute. That’s the first and only time I was asked that in a restaurant.
Thursday at 1:56 pm
i heard that there’s this country, i don’t know where but if you ask for ketchup or chilli or tobasco or any other spices the chef will get pissed and come out to tick you off cuz it means that the food doesn’t taste good on its own. it’s really funny cuz i can’t eat anything without sauce, no matter how tasty it is!!!
Friday at 11:01 am
Jeff
Thank YOU for actively participating in the conversation!!
고마워요
Bouks,
I don’t have to worry about making the owner of the restaurant worried because I usually don’t leave much food untouched, but sometimes when I do, I get this look from 아줌마 or 아저씨 of the restaurant, and i can read their mind “왜 다 안 먹어? 아깝잖아. (Why aren’t you eating all of it? It’s gonna be wasted.) ” ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋ i know what you mean
Theresa
ㅎㅎㅎ
저도 그 얘기 들어 본 것 같아요
Friday at 4:26 pm
I don’t really go out a lot since it’s pricy here. I’ve only been to a halful of places, but I think the service in Norway’s ok, and I remember it being good in Italy. Here the waiter will only ask you if you liked the food.
Hangul was easy to learn, but it takes time to reckognise the syllable blocks. It was reaaly nice to be able to see that today’s lesson had ㅈ,ㅊ, and ㅉ, because I still have problems hearing the difference (and I can forget about ever being able to pronounce them).
Monday at 11:29 am
Chris, later in the year we plan to have a pronunciation series which will help everyone! I hope you enjoy it… (it’ll be late 2008 though…
)
Sunday at 11:52 pm
Would you ever use jeogiyo as “excuse me” in the “pardon me” context? For instance if you accidentally bump into someone?
Monday at 12:14 am
John
Well, not really. In that case specifically, you can use “죄송합니다(joe song hamnida)”
Sunday at 11:00 pm
Annyeonghaseyo
Do you have to add jigeum when you ask for the time or is myeot si-yeyo enough?
Thank you
Vivian
Monday at 9:02 am
This is Jaehwi from Koreanclass101.com
안녕하세요.
You need to say 지금 ‘jigeum’ to mean ‘now’ when you ask time to make the meaning clear, but it’s okay you just say ‘몇 시예요?(meot siyeyo?) to mean ‘what time is it now?’
I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hi KoreanClass 101,
이거 두개 주세요, what it the purpose of the “개” behind “두”?
Is it for counting?
Yeah and for 제일싼 거 주세요,
what it does 거 mean in the context?
Monday at 3:36 pm
Unlike English, you should say 개(meaning ‘thing’) behind the counting numbers. For example, you should say 두 개 to mean ‘two (thing)’.
For counting animals, you can say the noun 마리 with counting numbers such as 두 마리 (two animals)
거 is as same as 것 which means ‘thing’ so, 싼 것 means ‘cheap thing’ or ‘cheap one’.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Thank you.
