#9 : Shopping Spree — Sizes, Styles, and Exchanges

Rachel has found the perfect boutique in the mall, but will it fit? And does it come in another colour?In our season finale, Lucy joins Rachel as she navigates a trendy Korean clothing store. From the struggle of "Free Size" to the hunt for a pi-ting-rum (fitting room), this episode covers the essential vocabulary for any fashion-forward traveler. Rachel learns how to handle the price tag, ask for different options, and—most importantly—what to do if she changes her mind later. In many Korean boutiques, 'Free Size' usually leans toward a US Small or Medium. If Rachel needs something a bit roomier, she can ask for 'Pyeon-han deu-re-seu' (a comfortable/loose dress). Also, look out for the white face covers in fitting rooms—it's a courtesy to keep makeup off the clothes!

#8 : Hot or Iced , The Cafe Customiser

Rachel’s reservation was just the beginning. Now she’s face-to-face with a complex menu and a desire to get some work done. Can she get her drink exactly how she likes it?In this episode, Lucy walks Rachel through the specific vocabulary of the Korean cafe scene. From the "Ice vs. Hot" debate (even in winter!) to the technicalities of "less sweet," Rachel learns how to be a particular but polite customer. Plus, Lucy shares the secret to staying productive: finding the bathroom and the Wi-Fi. In Korea, you’ll often hear 'Ice' even when it’s freezing outside—the 'Eol-juk-a' trend (Freezing to death for Iced Americanos) is real! Rachel learns that if she wants her tea without syrup, she can simply say 'Syureop ppae-ju-se-yo'(Please take out the syrup). And don't be shy about the Wi-Fi; it’s often printed on the receipt or at the bottom of a water pitcher!

#7 : Taxis and High-Speed Small Talk

Rachel is in a race against time. Her reservation at a trendy 'Instagrammable' cafe is in 15 minutes, and she’s still in Sinsa. It’s time to hail a taxi!In this episode, Lucy guides Rachel through the nuances of the Korean taxi experience. From spotting the "Vacant" (Bin-cha) light to handling the inevitable "Where are you from?" questions, Rachel learns how to communicate her destination and her urgency. But most importantly, she learns the art of the "Taxi Ajusshi" small talk. Taxi drivers in Seoul love to chat! When the driver asks 'Eodi-eseo wass-eo-yo?' (Where are you from?), it’s their way of being welcoming. Rachel learns that even a simple one-word answer followed by a 'Kamsahamnida' makes for a great ride. And if she's really in a rush? 'Jom ppalli ga-ju-se-yo'—adding that 'jom' (a little) makes the request sound much more polite!
