OPIc role play phrases for Korean speakers
A free deck of English question and request phrases for the OPIc role play, with Korean prompts. Eight situations, from a hotel booking to a late delivery, each run through ten moves: open the call, ask about availability and price, book, change, report a problem, ask again and close.
What this deck teaches
Role-play prompts often require several questions in a row. The hard part is not vocabulary; it is starting politely, asking for details, confirming information, explaining a problem and ending the call naturally.
The cards cover hotel rooms, restaurants, gym memberships, English classes, returns, doctor appointments, event tickets and delivery problems. Each scenario repeats with different conversation functions so the pattern becomes automatic.
Because the answers are complete spoken requests, the deck works especially well in Listen mode before Speak mode. Hear the politeness and rhythm first, then produce it.
Three calls you can make with these cards
Eight situations each get the same ten moves, in the order of a phone call: open, ask, book, change, report a problem, ask again and close.
Calling a hotel about a room
Say why you are calling, ask whether a room is free, then ask the price. Three cards make the first half of the call.
A delivery that has not arrived
Report the problem politely, then ask the other person to check. The second card is what moves the call forward.
You did not catch the answer
Asking again is part of the task, not a mistake. Ask, then close the call.
Korean carries politeness in the sentence ending, as in -요 and -습니다. English carries it in the opening words: "Could you ...?" and "I would like to ...". The cards drill those openings.
How to practice role plays
- Practice as a phone call. Say each answer as if you are calling a real person. Tone and politeness matter in role play.
- Ask follow-up questions. After one card, add one extra question of your own. Role plays rarely stop at a single sentence.
- Drill repair phrases. Repeat the problem, repeat and check cards often. They are what keep a role play alive when something changes.
