Original Seemile practice dialogue. This is an imagined situation, not a description of staff or services at this location.

  1. Visitor: 이거 얼마예요? — How much is this?
  2. Vendor: 어떤 걸 말씀하세요? — Which one do you mean?
  3. Visitor: 앞에 있는 작은 거요. — The small one at the front.
  4. Vendor: 가격표를 보여 드릴게요. — Let me show you the price label.
