How to study this lesson 4 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Grandpa, let's play historical drama. The living room is the palace. I'll be the king, and you be my minister.

    An dwaeyo. Imgeumnimeun wollae je geoyeyo. Harabeojineun suyeomi isseunikka neulgeun sinhaga ttak eoullyeoyo.

    No. Being king is my job. You've got a beard, so an old minister suits you perfectly.

  4. B ν—ˆν—ˆ, κ³ μ§‘κΉ¨λ‚˜ μžˆλŠ” μž„κΈˆλ‹˜μ΄κ΅¬λ¨Ό. μ•Œμ•˜λ‹€. 그럼 이 λŠ™μ€ μ‹ ν•˜λŠ” 무슨 λ²ΌμŠ¬μ„ ν•˜λ©΄ λ˜κ² μ‚¬μ˜΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ, μ „ν•˜?

    Ha, quite a stubborn king we have here. All right. Then what office shall this old servant hold, Your Majesty?

    Um... Chief State Councillor! That's the highest one, right? Ho there! Is the Chief State Councillor present?

  6. B 예이, μ „ν•˜. μ˜μ˜μ • μ—¬κΈ° λŒ€λ Ήν–ˆμ‚¬μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΆ„λΆ€λ§Œ λ‚΄λ¦¬μ‹œμ˜΅μ†Œμ„œ.

    Yei, jeonha. Yeonguijeong yeogi daeryeonghaetsaomnida. Bunbuman naerisiopsoseo.

    Yes, Your Majesty. The Chief State Councillor is at your service. Command me.

  7. A 짐은 λ°°κ°€ 고프도닀. μ˜μ˜μ •μ€ λ‹Ήμž₯ λΆ€μ—Œμ— κ°€μ„œ λ”ΈκΈ°λ₯Ό κ°€μ Έμ˜€λ„ˆλΌ!

    Jimeun baega gopeudoda. Yeonguijeongeun dangjang bueoke gaseo ttalgireul gajyeooneora!

    We are hungry. Chief State Councillor, go to the kitchen at once and bring us strawberries!

  8. B μ•”μš”, μ§€λ‹Ήν•˜μ‹  λΆ„λΆ€μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€κ·Έλ €. 백번 천번 μ˜³μœΌμ‹  λ§μ”€μ΄μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Amyo, jidanghasin bunbuimnidageuryeo. Baekbeon cheonbeon oreusin malsseumiomnida.

    Why, certainly, a most proper command. A hundred, a thousand times right, Your Majesty.

  9. A 그럼 빨리 κ°€μ Έμ˜€μ„Έμš”. 할아버지, μ™œ κ°€λ§Œνžˆ 앉아 κ³„μ„Έμš”?

    Geureom ppalli gajyeooseyo. Harabeoji, wae gamanhi anja gyeseyo?

    Then hurry and get them. Grandpa, why are you just sitting there?

  10. B 신이 λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ λ§Žμ•„ 무릎이 μ‹œλ¦¬μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ”ΈκΈ°λŠ” 내일 아침에 λŒ€λ Ήν•˜κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€κ·Έλ €.

    An dwaeyo! Imgeumnimi jigeum harago haetjanayo. Yeonguijeongeun daedamman hago amugeotdo an haneun ppeonppeonhan sinhayeyo!

    No! The king said now! The Chief State Councillor is a cheeky minister who says yes and does nothing!

  12. B μ›λž˜ μ‘°μ •μ˜ λŠ™μ€ λŒ€μ‹ λ“€μ€ λ‹€ κ·ΈλŸ¬ν•˜μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λŒ€λ‹΅μ€ μž˜ν•˜κ³  일은 미루기 μΌμ‘€μ΄μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ“œλΌλ§ˆμ—μ„œ λͺ» λ³΄μ…¨μ‚¬μ˜΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ?

    Wollae jojeongui neulgeun daesindeureun da geureohaomnida. Daedabeun jalhago ireun mirugi ilssuiomnida. Deuramaeseo mot bosyeotsaomnikka?

    That's how old ministers at court always are, Majesty. Quick to say yes and forever putting things off. Haven't you seen it in the dramas?

  13. A 그럼 μ˜μ˜μ •μ„ κ·€μ–‘ 보낼 κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. 여봐라, μ˜μ˜μ •μ„ μ € 멀리 λ² λž€λ‹€λ‘œ κ·€μ–‘ 보내라!

    Geureom yeonguijeongeul gwiyang bonael geoyeyo. Yeobwara, yeonguijeongeul jeo meolli berandaro gwiyang bonaera!

    Then I'm going to send you into exile. Ho there! Banish the Chief State Councillor far away to the balcony!

  14. B 아이고, μ „ν•˜, μ–΅μšΈν•˜μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€! 이 λŠ™μ€ μ‹ ν•˜κ°€ 평생 좩성을 λ°”μ³€λŠ”λ°, λ”ΈκΈ° ν•œ μ ‘μ‹œ λ•Œλ¬Έμ— κ·€μ–‘μ΄λΌλ‹ˆμš”.

    Aigo, jeonha, eogulhaomnida! I neulgeun sinhaga pyeongsaeng chungseongeul bachyeonneunde, ttalgi han jeopsi ttaemune gwiyangiraniyo.

    Oh, Majesty, this is unjust! This old servant has been loyal all his life, and he's exiled over a plate of strawberries?

  15. A 할아버지, μš°λŠ” μ‹œλŠ‰ μ§„μ§œ μž˜ν•˜μ‹ λ‹€! 그럼 λ”ΈκΈ° κ°€μ Έμ˜€μ‹œλ©΄ 귀양은 μ·¨μ†Œν•΄ λ“œλ¦΄κ²Œμš”.

    Harabeoji, uneun sinyung jinjja jalhasinda! Geureom ttalgi gajyeoosimyeon gwiyangeun chwisohae deurilgeyo.

    Grandpa, you're really good at pretending to cry! Okay, if you bring the strawberries, I'll cancel the exile.

  16. B 거래λ₯Ό ν•˜μžλŠ” λ§μ”€μ΄μ‹œκ΅¬λ¨Ό. 우리 μž„κΈˆλ‹˜, ν₯μ •κΉ¨λ‚˜ ν•  쀄 μ•„μ‹œλ„€κ·Έλ €.

    Georaereul hajaneun malsseumisigumeon. Uri imgeumnim, heungjeongkkaena hal jul asinegeuryeo.

    So the king wants to strike a deal. Our king certainly knows how to bargain.

  17. A λ„€! 그리고 할아버지 딸기도 ν•œ 개 λ“œλ¦΄κ²Œμš”. μ˜μ˜μ •μ€ μΆ©μ‹ μ΄λ‹ˆκΉŒμš”.

    Ne! Geurigo harabeoji ttalgido han gae deurilgeyo. Yeonguijeongeun chungsininikkayo.

    Yes! And I'll give you one strawberry too, Grandpa. Because the Chief State Councillor is loyal.

  18. B 성은이 λ§κ·Ήν•˜μ˜΅λ‹ˆλ‹€, μ „ν•˜. 그럼 이 λŠ™μ€μ΄κ°€ 무릎 μ’€ 펴고 λ‹€λ…€μ˜€κ² λ„€κ·Έλ €.

    Seongeuni manggeukaomnida, jeonha. Geureom i neulgeuniga mureup jom pyeogo danyeoogennegeuryeo.

    Your grace overwhelms me, Majesty. Well then, this old man will straighten his knees and be off.

  19. A 빨리 λ‹€λ…€μ˜€μ„Έμš”! 짐은 κΈ°λ‹€λ¦¬λŠ” κ±° μ‹«μ–΄ν•˜λŠλ‹ˆλΌ.

    Yei, yei. Jeonhakkeseo iri jaechokasini, i yeonguijeongi oneureun ttalgie uyukkaji daeryeonghagetsaomnida.

    Yes, yes. Since Your Majesty presses so, today this Chief State Councillor will bring milk as well as strawberries.
