From what I know, there is no specific way to say 'how are you' in Korean, unless the person was, or is, sick then you say:

Gi-boon uh-ddae? = How do you feel?

Then there is also the saying:
Mo Hae? = What are you doing?

The term 'how are you' is pretty much just the American way of saying hello in Korean ^^

Greetings are just plainly: Anyong(-haseyo)*!!!

*formal

Hope that helped!

This is my dog
who is from south korea
he is called a Jindo
Jindos arent much of a house dog cuz they r hunting and fighting dogs
They need lots of exercise
Once they hav a owner they will stick with dat owner
also they r guard dogs so if someone they dont know enters their home they start barking unless its still a puppy
Jindos r very,very STRONG
When i hold my dogs leash after a while i get rlly bad blisters
BTW
Im am also from South Korea and know korean u can ask me sumthin but i may not know the answer cuz i wasnt born in korea and i like english better

If you look at it this way, Korean and Japenese are the similar in terms of grammar and vocabulary

Compared to English, whose sentence structure is Subject , verb [v], and Object, [o]...
Korean and Japenese's structure is Subject , Oject[o], and then verb [v]

As for the vocab, here are some more to add to the list

The Seven Days

Sunday: Ill-yo-ill-lal
Monday: wo-yo-ill lal
Tuesday: hwa-yo-ill-lal
Wednesday: soo-yo-ill lal
Thursday: Mok-yo-ill lal
Friday: geum-yo-ill-lal
Saturday: dto-yo-ill-lal
Weekend: Joo-mal

Colours:

Red: bal-kan-saek
Blue: pa-lan-saek
green: cho-reok-saek
purple: bo-lan-saek
orange: choo-hwan-saek
yellow: no-lan-saek
brown: gal-saek
black: gum-zon-saek
white: hwa-yan-saek
Pink: boon-non-saek
Gray: hween-saek
COLOR: saek-gal

Others

Garbage: shoo-lae-gii
Garbage can: shoo-lae-gii-ton
Study: gon-boo
Juice: jew-ce*

*Another thing you might want to know is that the Korean are greatly influenced by the English and therefore have some words that are the translated exact same as English. [but may have to break up the word in syllables due to their prounounciation]

Well, hope that helps ! :]

Anyways, to those who are interested in actually learning how to write Korean, here they are:

The Alphabet:

How to write them is as how they come. You can combine a alphabet letter with a vowel to create the words and its sounds.

Examples:

네가 노를 조화 - nae/ga no/loel jo/hwa - I like you
사랑해 - sa/rang/hae - I love you
