Day 57: Who Plays the Teacher Tomorrow
The day before the class talent show, fourth-graders Geonu (A) and Yerin (B) meet in the school playground to rehearse their comedy sketch.
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.

Geonu, you brought the script, right? We're going on stage at the talent show tomorrow, and we still haven't done it all the way through once.

Yeah. But let's decide the roles again first. I want to be the teacher. The scary part is always the funniest.

What are you talking about? Last week we decided I'd be the teacher. You're the student who never does his homework.

The show's tomorrow and you want to bring up rock-paper-scissors again? My mom says this at times like this: "Is that really what matters right now?"

Arasseo, arasseo. Geureom nuga deo seonsaengnim gateunji han beonssik hae boja. Naega meonjeo handa. "Bagyerin! Eojjeom sukjereul han beondo an hae oni!"
Okay, okay. Then let's each have a go and see who's more like a teacher. I'll go first. "Park Yerin! How is it you never, ever do your homework!"
-

Too weak. A teacher has to push her glasses up like this. Watch. "The dog ate your homework? And you expect me to believe that?"

That's what makes it funnier. The audience will look over at our teacher and laugh.

I still don't want to be the student. All he does is say "I'm sorry" till the end. He's only got four lines.

There's the scene where the student falls over. That's the funniest scene, and you're really good at pretending to fall.

Is that a compliment or an insult? Anyway, if we keep fighting like this, we won't get to practise even once.
-

Oh! We can just swap halfway through. I'm the teacher for half, and you're the teacher for the other half.
-

How do we swap in the middle? Won't the audience get confused?

The teacher trips over the student's bag and drops her glasses. Then you pick them up, put them on and become the teacher.

Oh, so you get to fall over and be the teacher first? It's a bit of a stretch, but it would be funny.
-

But you get the last line. It's the scene where the teacher's fallen over and the student laughs. Make it the best line.
-

Joa! Yeonseupae bolge. "Gimgeonu! Eojjeom seonsaengnimi neomeojyeonneunde utgiman hani! Neo naeilkkaji banseongmun yeol jang!"
Deal! Let me practise. "Kim Geonu! How can you just laugh when your teacher has fallen over! Ten pages of apology by tomorrow!"
-

Keukeu, banseongmun yeol jangeun neomuhaetda. Uri seonsaengnimdo se jangbakke an sikisyeo. Hodeulgap jom juryeo.
Heh, ten pages is way too much. Even our teacher only makes us write three. Tone down the drama a bit.
-

It's a sketch, so it has to be over the top to be funny. Okay, now let's really do it from the top. I brought my mom's sunglasses instead of glasses.
-
