Introduction

This lesson is specific to going to the mall and buying some clothes. Rather,
I realize the many people who live in Korea (or tourists coming to Korea)
will need to face the challenge of buying something from somebody.
Regardless of the country you are in, trying to communicate exactly what
you want when purchasing something in a foreign country is always
difficult.
