Korean Mealtime Words You’ll Use Again and Again
Mealtime is one of the best times to practice Korean because food is fun, tasty, and filled with great words to learn!
Everyday Words at the Table
Here are some simple Korean words and phrases you’ll hear often:
- 밥 (bap) = rice or meal
- 먹어요 (meogeoyo) = eat (polite)
