Thanks for your help guys. What about this?
I tried ordering delivery today. These are the phrases I found from a website to help with ordering delivery in Korea.
1. First, you need to know your address. Your school should have given you your address, written out in both English and Korean; if they didn't, ask them to. To order food, you need to know the equivalent of the street address, something like these:
Hanyang Setbyeol 620 dong, 108 ho (if you live in an apartment building)
Osan dong, 131 beonji, 101 ho (if you don't, this is more likely)
Obviously, you'll have to say the numbers in Korean; see Counting in Korean.
2. Next, know the name of the food you want. This is where being able to read a menu comes in handy. "Pizza" is "pi-ja" (피자); jjajangmyeon is 짜장면.
3. Finally, know the phrase baedaljusaeyo (베달주세요). This means "for delivery, please".
When you call the place, whether it's a pizza joint, Chinese place, or anything else, just say your address, then what you want, then 배달주세요. Here are two basic forms, which you can fill in with your own information; the first, for living in an apartment, the other, if your address has a 번지.
1. ___(your address)___에요. ___(the food you want)___배달주세요.
2. _(dong name and beonji number)__번지 다시 _(apartment number)__에요. ___(the food you want)___배달주세요.
BUT.... the site doesnt tell you how to deal with payment methods. How do you say 'how would you like to pay?' AND 'I'd like to pay by cash" AND 'do you have my address stored on your computer?'
Thanks guys
