한 장 주세요 (Han jang juseyo): One ticket, please.
Today's phrase will let you enjoy the many cultural exhibits, shows, and sites Korea has to offer.
The first part of the phrase is 한 장 (han jang), or "one ticket." 한 (Han) is "one." Actually, 하나 (hana) is "one," but it changes to 한 (han) because of the counter added onto the end of the number. The counter that's added is 장 (jang), or "ticket."
Next we have 주세요 (juseyo), which means "please."
서울 가는 기차표 한 장 주세요. (Seoul ganeun gichapyo han jang juseyo.): One train ticket to Seoul, please.

사진 찍어 주세요. Please take my picture.
Korea is full of beautiful scenery, and there are times when you and your family and friends will want to take a picture together. Therefore, the phrase, “Please take my picture.” in Korean will be very useful!
