Cultural Connection: Respectful Address

In Korean culture, it is important to use the appropriate level of politeness when addressing others. When using beginner phrases, always remember to use the polite form of speech to show respect. For example, use 안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo) instead of just 안녕 (annyeong) for ‘hello.’
