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.

Yes, I want a new phone. But I really don't want to be an easy mark. Value for money matters, but these days it's all about what feels worth it, right? Just sort me out, smart and clean.

'Hogaeng', easy mark, I know. My son says it every time I buy clothes. But 'gasimbi' and that long word at the end, I've never heard of them.

Gasimbi is price versus peace of mind. And 'aljalttakkkalsen' is short for 'handle it yourself, well, neatly and sensibly'.

I know slang changes fast these days, but do I really need an interpreter just to sell a phone? So in the end, you want me to choose well for you, is that it?

Ne. Ildan yogeumjeneun mujogeon mujehaniyo. Deiteo geokjeong eomneun ge je gasimbigeodeunyo. Gigineun choesinhyeongeuroyo.
Yes. First, the plan has to be unlimited, no question. Never worrying about data is what's worth it to me. And the latest model for the phone.

Unlimited is about ninety thousand won a month. Before that, may I see the phone you use now? I'll check your data usage first.

Here. But I use a ton of data. I watch videos and play games on my commute. Running out of data drives me up the wall.

'Drives me up the wall' I know, thanks to my son. But sir, over the last three months you've used an average of seven gigabytes a month.

At home and at work you must be on Wi-Fi nearly all the time. Unlimited may be the done thing, but how could I sell a ridiculously expensive plan to someone who uses seven gigs? That's exactly how you make a customer an easy mark.

Wow, I've never seen a salesperson talk me out of the expensive one. You're not up to something, are you? Like sneaking in five add-on services later?

You needn't worry about that. I won't add a single extra service. Instead, I'd recommend a plan in the fifty-thousand range that just slows down once you've used twelve gigabytes.

If it slows down, videos keep freezing. That doesn't give me the peace of mind I'm after.

You've never once used it all, so it won't freeze. And with a two-year contract you get twenty-five percent off, which brings it under forty thousand a month.

Nearly seven hundred thousand won. What do young people call that these days?

'Hyeja'. When something's generous and a great deal, we call it hyeja. With seven hundred thousand I could buy new earbuds and still have change.

Hyeja is another new one on me. As for the phone, last year's model differs only a little in the camera; the rest is almost the same. We're clearing stock, so the price has come down a lot too.

Then I'll take last year's model. You're totally hyeja today. Are you always this honest?

You remind me of my son. Could I have your ID? I'll read you the contract line by line, so nobody can call you an easy mark.
