Tips

Korean has three "this/that" words: 이거 (igeo) for something near you, 그거 (geugeo) for something near the listener, and 저거 (jeogeo) for something far from both of you.

With counters, the numbers shorten: 한 개 (han gae, one), 두 개 (du gae, two), 세 개 (se gae, three). 하나 becomes 한 before the counter.

Pointing at a menu photo is completely normal in Korea, so don't feel shy about it.
