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.

    Welcome. This is the Hyeminseo, where the common folk of Hanyang are cared for. Today you must tend the patients in my place.

    Samulhamiraneun geoseun moreugesseuna, jimeun jeo gwejjage neoeusio. Ban Sijin ane se hwanjaui byeongeul modu aranaeya hao.

    I know not what a locker is, but put your things in that chest. Within half a double-hour, you must find out what ails all three patients.

  4. A 반 μ‹œμ§„μ΄ λͺ‡ λΆ„μ΄μ—μš”? νœ΄λŒ€ν°μœΌλ‘œ 타이머λ₯Ό 맞좰 λ†“μœΌλ €κ³  ν•˜λŠ”λ°μš”.

    Ban Sijini myeot bunieyo? Hyudaeponeuro taimeoreul matchwo noeuryeogo haneundeyo.

    How many minutes is half a double-hour? I want to set a timer on my phone.

    Hyudaeponeun i sidaee eomneun mulgeonio. Jeo hyangi da tamyeon kkeunnaneun geosini, hyangeul bomyeo seodureusio.

    Phones do not exist in this age. When that incense has burned down, your time is up, so watch it and make haste.

  6. A μ•Œκ² μ–΄μš”. 그럼 첫 번째 ν™˜μžλΆ€ν„° λ³Όκ²Œμš”. 이 μ•„μ €μ”¨λŠ” λ°°λ₯Ό 작고 λˆ„μ›Œ μžˆλŠ”λ°, λ‹¨μ„œλŠ” μ–΄λ””μ„œ μ°Ύμ•„μš”?

    Algesseoyo. Geureom cheot beonjjae hwanjabuteo bolgeyo. I ajeossineun baereul japgo nuwo inneunde, danseoneun eodiseo chajayo?

    Okay. I'll start with the first patient, then. This man is lying there clutching his stomach. Where do I find the clues?

  7. B ν™˜μžμ˜ 머리맑을 샅샅이 μ‚΄ν”Όμ‹œμ˜€. κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ μ–΄μ œ 무엇을 λ¨Ήμ—ˆλŠ”μ§€ 적힌 μͺ½μ§€κ°€ μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμ΄μ˜€.

    Hwanjaui meorimateul satsachi salpisio. Geu sarami eoje mueoseul meogeonneunji jeokin jjokjiga isseul geosio.

    Search thoroughly by the patient's pillow. There will be a note of what he ate yesterday.

  8. A μ—¬κΈ° μžˆλ„€μš”. 'μ–΄μ ―λ°€ 게μž₯을 λ¨Ήμ—ˆμŒ.' 그럼 κ·Έλƒ₯ μ‹μ€‘λ…μ΄μž–μ•„μš”. λ„ˆλ¬΄ μ‰¬μš΄λ°μš”?

    Yeogi inneyo. 'Eojetbam Gejangeul meogeosseum.' Geureom geunyang sikjungdogijanayo. Neomu swiundeyo?

    Here it is. 'Ate marinated crab last night.' So it's just food poisoning. Isn't that too easy?

  9. B 그리 μ„£λΆˆλ¦¬ λ‹¨μ •ν•˜λ©΄ μ•„λ‹ˆ 되였. 같은 게μž₯을 먹은 뢀인은 λ©€μ©‘ν•˜λ‹€λŠ” μͺ½μ§€λ„ ν•¨κ»˜ 읽어 λ³΄μ‹œμ˜€.

    Geuri seotbulli danjeonghamyeon ani doeo. Gateun Gejangeul meogeun buineun meoljjeonghadaneun jjokjido hamkke ilgeo bosio.

    You must not jump to conclusions so easily. Read this note as well: his wife ate the same crab and is perfectly well.

  10. A μž κΉλ§Œμš”. 뢀인은 λ©€μ©‘ν•œλ° λ‚¨νŽΈλ§Œ μ•„ν”„λ©΄, 게μž₯ 말고 λ‚¨νŽΈλ§Œ 먹은 게 λ”°λ‘œ μžˆλ‹€λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”?

    Jamkkanmanyo. Buineun meoljjeonghande nampyeonman apeumyeon, Gejang malgo nampyeonman meogeun ge ttaro itdaneun geoyeyo?

    Wait. If his wife is fine and only he's sick, there must be something else that only he had?

  11. B λ°”λ‘œ κ·Έκ²ƒμ΄μ˜€. μ§„μ°°μ΄λž€ μ¦μƒλ§Œ λ³΄λŠ” 것이 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ ν™˜μžκ°€ λ§ν•˜μ§€ μ•Šμ€ κ²ƒκΉŒμ§€ ν—€μ•„λ¦¬λŠ” 일이였.

    Baro geugeosio. Jinchariran jeungsangman boneun geosi anira hwanjaga malhaji aneun geotkkaji hearineun irio.

    Precisely. Examining a patient is not just looking at symptoms; it is working out even what he has not told you.

  12. A μ°Ύμ•˜λ‹€! 이뢈 밑에 감 껍질이 숨겨져 μžˆμ–΄μš”! 게μž₯μ΄λž‘ 감은 같이 먹으면 νƒˆ λ‚œλ‹€κ³  ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆκ°€ κ·ΈλŸ¬μ…¨κ±°λ“ μš”. 근데 μ˜μ›λ‹˜, 이거 μ§„μ§œ μ‘°μ„  μ‹œλŒ€ μ˜ν•™ λ§žμ•„μš”?

    Found it! There's persimmon peel hidden under his blanket! My grandma always says you get sick if you eat marinated crab and persimmon together. But doctor, is this really Joseon-era medicine?

  13. B 에헴, μ˜› μ˜μ„œμ— λ‚˜μ˜€λŠ” μ˜μˆ μ„ μ°Έκ³ ν•˜μ—¬ λ§Œλ“  κ²ƒμ΄μ˜€. 이 λŒ€μ‚¬λ₯Ό μ™Έμš°λŠλΌ μ‚¬ν˜ 밀을 κΌ¬λ°• μƒˆμ› μœΌλ‹ˆ 믿어도 되였.

    Ehem, yet uiseoe naoneun uisureul chamgohayeo mandeun geosio. I daesareul oeuneura saheul bameul kkobak saewosseuni mideodo doeo.

    Ahem, it is based on the healing arts in the old medical books. I stayed up three whole nights memorising these lines, so you may trust it.

  14. A 두 번째 ν™˜μžλŠ” 기침만 κ³„μ†ν•˜λ„€μš”. κΈ°μΉ¨ μ†Œλ¦¬λ₯Ό λͺ‡ λ²ˆμ΄λ‚˜ λ“€μ–΄ 봀건만 뭐가 λ¬Έμ œμΈμ§€ ν•˜λ‚˜λ„ λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μ–΄μš”. 힌트 ν•œ 번만 μ£Όμ‹œλ©΄ μ•ˆ λΌμš”?

    The second patient just keeps coughing. I've listened to his cough over and over, and I still have no idea what's wrong. Can't you give me just one hint?

  15. B ν—ˆν—ˆ, νžŒνŠΈλŠ” λ”± ν•œ 번뿐이였. ν™˜μžμ˜ 손을 μ‚΄νŽ΄λ³΄μ‹œμ˜€. 손바λ‹₯에 μ‹œμ»€λ¨Ό 것이 묻어 μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμ΄μ˜€.

    Heoheo, hinteuneun ttak han beonppunio. Hwanjaui soneul salpyeobosio. Sonbadage sikeomeon geosi mudeo isseul geosio.

    Ha ha, you get but one hint. Look at the patient's hands. You will find something black on his palms.

  16. A 헐, μ§„μ§œ κΉŒλ§€μš”. 이거 μˆ―κ²€μ •μ΄μ£ ? 그럼 이 μ‚¬λžŒμ€ μˆ―μ„ κ΅½λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ΄μ—μš”?

    Heol, jinjja kkamaeyo. Igeo sutgeomjeongijyo? Geureom i sarameun sucheul gumneun saramieyo?

    Whoa, they really are black. That's charcoal soot, right? So he's a charcoal maker?

  17. B ν›Œλ₯­ν•˜μ˜€. λ‚ λ§ˆλ‹€ μˆ―κ°€λ§ˆ μ—°κΈ°λ₯Ό λ§ˆμ‹œλŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ 기침을 달고 μ‚¬λŠ” 것은 λ‹Ήμ—°ν•œ μ΄μΉ˜κ°€ μ•„λ‹ˆμ˜€?

    Hullyunghao. Nalmada sutgama yeongireul masineun sarami gichimeul dalgo saneun geoseun dangyeonhan ichiga anio?

    Excellent. Is it not natural that a man who breathes the smoke of a charcoal kiln every day should never stop coughing?

  18. A 그럼 닡은 μ—°κΈ°λ„€μš”! μžλ¬Όμ‡ μ— 'μ—°κΈ°'라고 λ„£μœΌλ©΄ λΌμš”? ν–₯이 벌써 λ°˜μ΄λ‚˜ νƒ”μ–΄μš”.

    Geureom dabeun yeongineyo! Jamulsoee 'yeongi'rago neoeumyeon dwaeyo? Hyangi beolsseo banina tasseoyo.

    So the answer is smoke! Do I put 'smoke' into the lock? The incense is already half gone.

  19. B λ„£μ–΄ λ³΄μ‹œμ˜€. 문이 열리면 μ„Έ 번째 ν™˜μžκ°€ 기닀리고 μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμ΄μ˜€. κ·Έ ν™˜μžλŠ” μ•žμ˜ λ‘˜λ³΄λ‹€ 훨씬 κΉŒλ‹€λ‘œμš°λ‹ˆ κ°μ˜€ν•˜μ‹œμ˜€.

    Neoeo bosio. Muni yeollimyeon se beonjjae hwanjaga gidarigo isseul geosio. Geu hwanjaneun apui dulboda hwolssin kkadarouni gagohasio.

    Try it. When the door opens, the third patient will be waiting. He is far trickier than the first two, so prepare yourself.

  20. A μ—΄λ Έλ‹€! 근데 μ˜μ›λ‹˜, μ‹œκ°„ μ•ˆμ— λͺ» 끝내면 μ§„μ§œ μ—¬κΈ° κ°‡νžˆλŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”? μ € μ—¬λŸ μ‹œκΉŒμ§€ 학원 κ°€μ•Ό λ˜λŠ”λ°μš”.

    Yeollyeotda! Geunde uiwonnim, sigan ane mot kkeunnaemyeon jinjja yeogi gachineun geoyeyo? Jeo yeodeol sikkaji hagwon gaya doeneundeyo.

    It's open! But doctor, if I don't finish in time, am I really stuck in here? I have to be at my cram school by eight.

  21. B ν•™μ›μ΄λΌλŠ” 것은 λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μœΌλ‚˜ μ—Όλ € λ§ˆμ‹œμ˜€. ν–₯이 λ‹€ 타도 문은 μ—΄μ–΄ 쀄 κ²ƒμ΄μ˜€. λ‹€λ§Œ κ·ΈλŒ€ 이름이 λŒνŒ”μ΄ λͺ…단에 였λ₯Ό λΏμ΄λ‹ˆ, μ–΄μ„œ μ„Έ 번째 ν™˜μžλ₯Ό λ³΄μ‹œμ˜€.

    I know not what a cram school is, but fear not. Even when the incense burns out, the door will be opened. Only your name will go on the list of quacks, so hurry and see the third patient.
