After I skimmed through some of the books, I have decided to purchase "Survival Korean". It's a small pocket size book that provide the most important Korean words and phrases, helping the learner to learn more words and phrases and speak them without fear or fuss.
Survival Korean at RM29.70
Well, there is a story behind why I chose this book.My friend told me that her sister and she traveled to South Korea few years back during winter season. When doing some shopping at the shopping mall, suddenly, nature is calling her sister. They quickly go and ask the sale assistants in the mall for the direction to washroom/ toilet but they did not understand what they talking about since my friends were speaking in English. In the end, because my friend's sister couldn't hold anymore, she show the sale assistant the peeing action and luckily they finally know what she want and show them the way to toilet. After they came out from the toilet, they just learn that washroom/ toilet in Korean is "Hwajangsil" (화장실).
Hence, I think that it's kind of important to know this phrase:
"Hwajangsil eodi isseoyo?" (pronounce as hwa-jahng-sheel ohdi itsoyo, written 화장실 어디 있어요?)
which mean where is the toilet?
In case nature is calling you when you are somewhere in Korea, you can ask the locals, "Hwajangsil eodi isseoyo?" =)
