🎯 By the end of this episode, you'll be able to confidently use these essential phrases:

  • 안녕하셨어요: Greeting someone you haven’t seen for a while
  • 어서 오세요!: Welcoming someone
  • 안녕히 가세요: Bidding farewell to someone leaving
  • 안녕히 계세요: Bidding farewell to someone staying
  • 수고하세요: Saying goodbye to someone at work

This episode is divided into three engaging parts to help you:
1️⃣ Learn the phrases with clear examples

3️⃣ Practice actively in context

Tune in, follow along, and repeat after Teacher Kay. By the end, you’ll find yourself confidently speaking Korean in various everyday situations! 🌟
