Master of Arts
I am currently revising our association's Student Handbook, and a more detailed Black Belt booklet. While in school, I had a few friends who were Korean that helped me learn some Hangul. I am posting what I have so far, hope this helps some people out here.. . Also I'm hoping some of you who are better versed in these areas may provide some criticism.

Good Morning 안녕하십니까? An-nyung ha-shim ni-kka?
Good Evening
Good Afternoon
How Are You?
*Note: An-nyung ha-shim ni-kka is a formal greeting, and is the proper greeting to be used in the Dojang. Typically Koreans today do not use such formal greatings, An-nyung Ha-seo replacing An-nyung ha-shim ni-kka. The difference is similar to “hi” versus “hello, how are you?” There is a supreme formal greeting that is seldom ever used: Pyung ahn ha-shim ni-kka, meaning “Are you at peace?”
Fine, and how are you? 예, 안녕하십니까? Ye an-nyung ha-shim ni-kka?
Good Bye (to those leaving) 안녕히가십시요An-nyung-hi ka-ship-shi-o

Goodnight 안녕히주무십시요An-nyung-hi chu-mu-ship-shi-o

*Note, there is a more formal way of thanking someone: Kam mop sa ham-ni-da, which is appropriate in thanking senior ranks.
