Six cards to show when words run out
Fill the blanks before you need them, then show the relevant line.
Start with the right card
Keep your hotel name and Korean address available offline. Add only the personal details needed for the situation. If speaking is difficult, show one card at a time and point to the blank you have filled in.
For urgent help
Call 112 for a police emergency and 119 for ambulance or fire response. Give your location first. The emergency card helps someone make the right call; it does not replace an address or a description of what is happening.
For an allergy or a practical request
Name the ingredient clearly and ask about preparation as well as ingredients. A staff member may need time to check. If they cannot confirm an allergy concern, choose another dish or place. Keep phone numbers and other private details out of public photographs.
