How to read the table
Tip: say the sentence slowly, with a clear stop between words. Most hotel staff in busy areas are used to visitors, and showing the Hangul on your phone works well when pronunciation fails.
Romanization was checked against the official rules, but pronunciation in everyday speech can differ slightly by speaker. We have not recorded audio for this guide. As of October 31, 2026.
