Welcome to spoken Korean! You already have a great head start knowing how to say hello and yes. Korean is an expressive language, and training your voice right from the beginning builds immediate confidence. With Auracle, you learn entirely through speaking and listening, just like you would on the streets of Seoul. In this deck, we will expand your repertoire with versatile everyday phrases for ordering food, shopping, and chatting casually. Let us jump right in and start speaking!

You already know that yes is ne. To say a polite no, the word is aniyo. When you want to thank someone politely, the standard phrase is gamsahamnida. You will hear and use this everywhere, from convenience stores to taxis.

Being polite also means knowing how to apologise and get someone's attention. To say I am sorry, say joesonghamnida. When you want to call a server over at a restaurant or excuse yourself through a crowd, say jeogiyo.
