Intermediate · One practice about 5 min · Created by GameTalk · Edited
When to use this
Two friends with different tastes choose a meal together. Check what each person is comfortable eating and whether you want to share.
Choose a role each and read the goal together. It is fine to start with the helpful expressions. After the conversation, switch roles and practise the same situation again.
Your practice goal
Hear each other’s preferences and choose a meal together.
Adventurous friend / Friend who likes familiar food
Useful expressions
Are you okay with spicy food?
매운 음식은 괜찮으세요?
Ask about spice preference before ordering and respect a no.
Let us each choose one dish and share.
하나씩 골라서 나눠 먹어요.
Suggest sharing dishes, but also ask whether separate meals would be preferred.
What does this taste like?
이건 어떤 맛이에요?
Ask about an unfamiliar flavor. Follow up with sweet or salty if helpful.
How to practise
- Read the roles and goal together. Listening is welcome.
- Talk for two minutes using the helpful phrases.
- Add the twist and continue for one more minute.
- Switch roles, try again, and share one new expression.
Change the situation when you feel ready
One of you cannot handle spicy food. Find something for both.
A short example conversation
매운 음식은 괜찮으세요?
저는 맵지 않은 음식이 좋아요. 이건 어떤 맛이에요?
따뜻하고 짭짤해요. 하나씩 골라서 나눠 먹을까요?

Common mistakes and tips
- Ask rather than assuming your partner likes the same dishes.
- Separate temperature from spice level when describing a dish.
Try it yourself
You want something new; your friend wants something familiar. Suggest a way to choose together.

Example: “Shall we choose one familiar dish and one new dish, then share?” Include both preferences.
