English Shortcut to Korean Learning (쉽게 배울수 있는 조선어) is a self-study textbook published in 2019 by the Korea Publications Export and Import Corporation of Pyongyang (DPRK).
I have taken it on myself to transcribe the example sentences and vocabulary, as current material about the North Korean language is rare and plain text versions of learning materials are even harder to find.
This post is about the second chapter, dealing with different situations that take place in hotels. For an overview of the book, see the head post
Please note that sentences and words below are as-is, I have tried to make sure that I have not introduced any mistakes and I have retouched some slightly awkward translations found in the book and added additional translations where I thought they would be of use.
