Some Foreign Language Writing

I have just written a very modest little conversation between my coteacher and I about getting something to eat. This is the chapter I am in, in my Korean studies. I have written it in Korean and in German. I will also translate it to English for you to see how sadly pathetic my skills are.

교실에서
리차드: 배고프니까, 식사 하고 싶어요.
홍효심: 그래요! 잠깐만 기다려 주세요. 점심을 함께 먹을 거예요.
리차드: 좋아. 어디에서 먹고 싶어요?
홍효심: 나는 피자를 먹고 시퍼요.
리차드: 그럼, 피자집에 갈 수 있어요.
피자집에서
리차드: 피자는 어느 것이 맛있습니까?
홍효씸: 고구마피자 좋아해요.
리차드: 아주머니, 고구마피자 1 판 주세요.
웨이트리스: 네, 알겠습니다.

Im Klassenzimmer
Richard: Ich möchte essen, weil ich Hunger habe.
Hyoshim: Wirklich. Warte kurz und wir werden zusammen essen.
Richard: Okay, gut. Wo möchtest du essen?
Hyoshim: Ich möchte Pizza essen.
Richard: Dann gehen wir zu die Pizzeria.
In der Pizzeria
Richard: Welche Pizza gefällst dir?
Hyoshim: Die Süßkartoffelpizza schmeckt gut.
Richard: Hallo, wir möchten eine Süßkartoffelpizza, bitte.
Kellnerin: Ja, eine Süßkartoffelpizza. Danke.

In the classroom
Richard: I would like to eat, as I am hungry.
Hyoshim: Really. Wait a moment and we will eat together.
Richard: Okay, good. Where would you like to eat?
Hyoshim: I would like to eat pizza.
Richard: Then we will go to the pizzeria.
In the pizzeria
Richard: Which pizza do you like?
Hyoshim: The sweet potato pizza tastes good.
Richard: Hello. Yes, we will have the sweet potato pizza, please.
Waitress: Yes, sweet potato pizza. Thank you.
