American Learns Korean Day10: “Receipt, Please” · “A Bag, Please” · “I’ll Eat Here”

Today’s American Learns Korean Day10 finishes the “last 10 seconds after you pay.” Day9 helped you ask the price and confirm card payment. Day10 is what comes right after: receipt, bag, and dine-in vs. takeout. This is where many beginners freeze—because the payment already happened, and now the staff asks quick questions like:

“Do you need a receipt?”
“Do you want a bag?”
“For here or to go?”

You don’t need long sentences. You need short, confident answers that come out automatically. That’s exactly what we’ll build today.

American Learns Korean Day10 Today’s Goal

Ask for a receipt and a bag without hesitation
Choose dine-in vs. takeout in one sentence
Lock in the 주세요 (“please give me”) request pattern

Core Phrases (Only 4)

영수증 주세요. — Receipt, please.
봉투 주세요. — A bag, please.
여기서 먹고 갈게요. — I’ll eat here.
포장해 주세요. — To go, please.

Day10 mainly focuses on 1–3. Phrase 4 is the optional “to-go” expansion.

Pronunciation & Intonation (Quick coaching for American learners)

영수증: say it in three beats: young–soo–jeung. Don’t hit the last sound too hard.
봉투: two beats: bong–too. Keep it short and clean.
먹고 갈게요: this is a decision, not a question. Finish with a firm tone (don’t raise your pitch at the end).
포장해 주세요: say po-jang clearly; it’s the natural Korean “to-go” line.

Script 1: Café (Dine-in)

Customer: 아메리카노 하나 주세요. (One Americano, please.)
Staff: 네, 4,500원이에요.
Customer: 카드 돼요?
Staff: 네, 돼요.
Customer: 영수증 주세요. 여기서 먹고 갈게요.
Staff: 네, 알겠습니다.

Key: Say “Receipt, please” first, then confirm dine-in. This order feels natural and keeps the flow smooth.

Script 2: Convenience Store (Bag + Receipt)

Customer: 이거 얼마예요?
Staff: 2,200원이요.
Customer: 카드 돼요?
Staff: 네.
Customer: 봉투 주세요. 영수증도 주세요.
Staff: 네, 여기요.

Adding 도 (“also”) makes it sound more natural, but if it feels hard, you can simply say 영수증 주세요.

American Learns Korean Day10 4 Common Mistakes (Fix them today)

Asking “영수증 있어요?” instead of requesting

Not “wrong,” but beginners should stick to the simplest: 영수증 주세요.

Always saying “봉지 주세요” out of habit

Both can appear, but today we standardize on 봉투 for consistency.

Ending “여기서 먹고 갈게요” with a rising question tone

It’s a decision. Finish confidently.

Only using “takeout” in English

It may work, but if you want a Korean routine, 포장해 주세요 is the cleanest.

Quick Vocabulary (10 words)

영수증 (receipt) / 봉투 (bag) / 포장 (to-go) / 매장 (here) / 필요해요 (need)
괜찮아요 (it’s okay) / 여기서 (here) / 먹고 (eat and) / 갈게요 (I’ll go) / 주세요 (please give me)
