Final Tips

• Speak slowly and clearly. Most hotel staff in Korea can understand basic English, but knowing a little Korean shows respect and effort.
• If you’re unsure how to say something, start with “영어 하세요?” (Yeongeo haseyo?) – “Do you speak English?”
• Learning just a few of these phrases can help you feel more confident and welcomed during your stay in Korea.

Next time you check in, try saying:
“안녕하세요, 체크인 하려고 왔어요!”
It’s a simple sentence, but it goes a long way!
