1. excuse me : 실례합니다.
When you need a help from someone, you can say "실례합니다." It's extremly formal.
And "여기요" and "저기요" are also being used in spoken.
Basically, 여기요 is like "here is." and 저기요 is "there is."

2. I don't know : [저는] 몰라요. (opp. 알아요 = I know)
In Korean speaking, Korean people usually omit subjective when a speakers talk about himself or herself and listeners know the answer is on the speaker.

3. Direction : 방향
좌측 or 왼쪽 : left side
우측 or 오른쪽 : right side
straight : 곧바로
back side : 뒤쪽
front side : 앞쪽
to the back side : 뒤쪽에 ( the preposition 'to' used for direction is "~에.")
그러면 : then

4. more : 더 (opp. less : 덜, 조금)
ex> eat more! (더 먹어) - eat less! (조금 먹어!)
