Let's learn how to say 'Where is (a place)?' in Korean:

'Where is (a place)?': (a place) 어디에요? / Uh( like uh in uh oh) Dee Eh Yo?
Again this expression is polite way to ask to stranger, or someone older than you. Usually, not always, a sentence ends with 'Yo' to be polite, or when speaking to the elderly.

You can use this expression with a place in front of the sentence. For example, to ask ‘Where is a hotel?’: Hotel Uh Dee Eh Yo?

To ask, 'How can I get to (a place)?': (a place) 어떻게 가요? / Uh( like uh in uh oh) Thu(sounds like Thumb but without last MB sound) Kay Ga(A as in Aha) Yo? For example, to ask ‘How can I get to the
hotel?’: Hotel Uh Thu Kay Ga Yo?

Below are some of places in Korean:

Washroom: 화장실 / Hua Jang(A as in Aha) Shil
Pharmacy: 약국 / Yak(A as in Aha) Gook
Hospital: 병원 / BeeYoung Won
Bank: 은행 / Un hang(A as in Apple)
School: 학교 / Hack(A as in Aha) Geeyo(G as in Group)
Restaurant, or a lunch room in a building: 식당 / Shick Dang(A as in Aha)
Airport: 공항 / Gong(G as in Group) Hang(A as in Aha)
Movie theatre: 영화관 / Young Hua Guan
Convenience store: 편의점 / Peeyonee Jum(sounds like Germ without R sound)
Internet cafe: PC 방 / PC Bang(A as in Aha)
Subway: 지하철 / Jee Ha Chirl(sounds like Church without last CH sound)

Following words sounds the same as English: Hotel, Food court, cafe(or use coffee shop)
