Practice Making a Reservation in 韓国語
Phone reservations test your 韓国語 more than face-to-face conversation: there's no body language, no menu to point at, and the other person is often busy. This scenario walks through booking a restaurant table — choosing a date and time, specifying the number of guests, mentioning dietary needs, and confirming the booking. You'll practise the specific 韓国語 formulas for politeness on the phone, the verbs for 'to reserve' and 'to confirm', and how to spell your name letter by letter when the host can't catch it.

There's a near-universal construction — 'Hello, this is X, I'd like to book…' — that signals you're calling for a specific reason. The scenario teaches it.
How do I spell my name in 韓国語?
Each 韓国語 has its own alphabet pronunciation (or a NATO-style version). The vocabulary list includes the common spelling alphabet.

Often yes — but knowing how to call gives you flexibility for places that don't use apps. The scenario rehearses the phone version.
