안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo)
Hello. Polite, and it works at any time of day.
감사합니다 (gamsahamnida)
Thank you. Formal. 고마워요 (gomawoyo) is the softer polite form.
네 / 아니요 (ne / aniyo)
Yes / no. 네 is also the all-purpose "mm-hm" of Korean conversation.

I am sorry. 실례합니다 (sillyehamnida) is "excuse me".
제 이름은 …이에요 (je ireumeun … ieyo)
My name is…
만나서 반갑습니다 (mannaseo bangapseumnida)
Pleased to meet you.
영어 할 수 있어요? (yeongeo hal su isseoyo?)
Can you speak English?
잘 모르겠어요 (jal moreugesseoyo)
I am not sure. Softer, and far more common, than a flat no.

잠깐만요 (jamkkanmanyo)
Just a moment.
안녕히 가세요 / 안녕히 계세요
Goodbye. The first to the person leaving, the second to the person staying.
화이팅! (hwaiting!)
You can do it — from the English word "fighting". What Koreans shout before an exam.
수고하셨습니다 (sugohasyeotseumnida)
