Day 125: Lessons Between Doctors' Rounds
On a children's ward, Seoa (A), a ten-year-old long-term patient, has a lesson with Ms. Jeong (B), her hospital-school teacher, right after the doctors' rounds.
How to study this lesson 4 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Still learning Hangul? Tick Romanization to see how each line sounds, but read the Korean first.
- Download the Anki deck below and review it every day. It has every line of today's dialogue. Review earlier decks too when Anki asks you to.
- Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Korean, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

Han jangeun neomu manayo. Ban jangman halgeyo. Jusa matgo namyeon sondo apeudan marieyo.

Think about pizza. One's cut into four slices and the other into eight. How do you make the slices on both the same size?

Palbunui chiriyo. Wa, saenggakboda neomu swiundeyo? Ige dayeyo?

Two fifths plus one third: add the tops together and the bottoms together, and you get three eighths!

Ireon, deulkyeonnegeuryeo. Geureom seoaga seonsaengnimhante jedaero gareuchyeo jullae?
Oh dear, caught me out. So will you teach me how to do it properly?

Obunui ineun sibobunui yugigo, sambunui ireun sibobunui onikka, hapchimyeon sibobunui sibirieyo. Seonsaengnim, igeo ban jang neomeotjyo?
Two fifths is six fifteenths and one third is five fifteenths, so together it's eleven fifteenths. We're past half a page now, right?
-

-
A λ° μ₯μ΄μ. μ΄λ²μ μ§μ§λ‘ λ° μ₯μ΄μμ. μ μλ νμμ μ΄μ μ λμ΄κ°μ.
Ban jangiyo. Ibeonen jinjjaro ban jangieyo. Seonsaengnim hyeopsangeun ije an neomeogayo.
Half a page. This time I really mean half. I'm not falling for your deals anymore.
