When you'd hear it
This is common in everyday conversation, especially when mentioning a tentative personal plan to friends, family, or coworkers. The polite form appears often in dramas and casual workplace conversations, while the plain form is also used in informal speech.
What learners get wrong
Unlike -(으)ㄹ까? as a question meaning “Shall I?” or “Should we?”, -(으)ㄹ까 하다 states that the speaker is considering doing something. The 하다 ending makes it a tentative plan rather than a question to someone else.
