We'll continue with the situation in Episode 1 where an exchange student from America starts his new adventure in Korea from the time he arrives at the Incheon Int'l Airport! You'll imagine various situations that call for the various expressions and practice them together. 

By the end of this episode, you'll be able to use the unique, essential Korean greetings and farewells in the following situations:

• meeting someone you haven't' seen for a while 안녕하셨어요
• welcoming someone 어서 오세요!
• bidding farewell to someone moving away from the current location 안녕히 가세요
• bidding farewell to someone who remains 안녕히 계세요
• bidding farewell to someone at work 수고하세요
  - ALL IN KOREAN!
