Korean Basic Language: Ice Breaking

Ice Breaking 

When you first meet a person, what would you do? Instead of act weirdly and giving Korean people a bad impressions towards you, you should learn how to break the ice with them beforehand. Here are some languange that you should use in breaking the ice. 

This term literally means as "Are you at peace?" Shaking and bowing at the same time is a custom - be careful not to pump the hand of the person you’re meeting, just clasp hands briefly. 

1. An-nyeong-haseyo 
안녕하세요 
 (Hello)

Let's listen to the pronunciation 




As a foreigner newly arrived in the country, or on your very first meeting with someone, you can also use one of these options to greet someone.

2. Man-na-suh bangap-seum-ni-da
만나서 반갑습니다.
(Happy to meet you)
Let's listen to the pronunciation 

3. Jal boo-tak deu-rim-ni-da
잘부탁드립니다 
(Please look after me)
