Noraebang

[jazziecakes]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone could help me out - I'm visiting Seoul this summer and would love to go to a noraebang. Assuming the staff don't speak English, what would I say? I'm unsure how to "book/ask" (?!?!?) for a noraebang in Korean hehe.

TIA, and my apologies for such a silly question

Han shi?
This means 1 hour.

We used to just hold up 1 finger and they got the idea, because 1 hour is a pretty standard time unit for noraebang.

한시 means 1 o'clock.
You'd better say "한시간이요" (hanshiganiyo)
or "한시간 할게요" (hanshigan halgeyo)

All you have to do is to follow the guy after then.

haha! Iet me give you a dialogue in a 노래방.

(노래방)

노래방 주인: 어서오세요! 몇 분 이세요?

님 : 2명이요.

노래방 주인 : 몇시간 드릴까요?

님 : 한시간 주세요~ 얼마에요?

노래방 주인 : 15000원입니다.

님 : 여기 있습니다.

노래방 주인: 감사합니다. 3번 방으로 가세요.
(오른쪽으로 가시면 돼요.)

님 : 네~

(노래방의 3번 방)
There are a 노래방 book, microphones, remote control,TV in each room of 노래방.
It's your own room to sing a song.
Get song's numbers from a book and use remote control to book it.

Wow~ you should tell us your story after 노래방.
