Learn Korean: Asking For Directions In Korean
Let's ditch the generic Korean directions and learn how to navigate like a local! Instead of awkwardly tapping someone's shoulder, politely get their attention with 'sillyehamnida', which translates to 'excuse me', but carries a deeper sense of respect. Then, to smoothly segue into asking for directions, use 'bang-hyang', meaning 'direction', and ask ' '-e bang-hyang-i eodieyo?' which means 'Where is the direction to -'?. For instance, you could ask 'Gyeongbokgung-e bang-hyang-i eodieyo?' meaning 'Where is the direction to Gyeongbokgung Palace?'. Now, instead of just 'straight', learn 'jogeum deo', meaning 'a little bit further', to show you understand nuanced directions. Additionally, using this phrase implies you’re already somewhat familiar with the area, making your interaction more natural.
