Day 77 of 135

Day 77: One Seat for Berlin Training

In a meeting room at a car-parts company, team manager Mr. Yoon (A) sits down with two employees, Seoyeon (B) and Minjun (C), who both want the same overseas training place.

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.

Dialogue

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

  1. A 두 μ‚¬λžŒ λ‹€ 바쁠 텐데 와 μ€˜μ„œ κ³ λ§ˆμ›Œμš”. λ² λ₯Όλ¦° μ—°μˆ˜ 건은 λ‹€λ“€ μ•Œμ£ ? 석 λ‹¬μ§œλ¦¬ 과정인데 우리 νŒ€μ— λ°°μ •λœ μžλ¦¬λŠ” λ”± ν•˜λ‚˜μ˜ˆμš”.

    Du saram da bappeul tende wa jwoseo gomawoyo. Bereullin yeonsu geoneun dadeul aljyo? Seok daljjari gwajeonginde uri time baejeongdoen jarineun ttak hanayeyo.

    Thanks for coming, I know you're both busy. You've heard about the Berlin training, right? It's a three-month course, and our team has been given exactly one place.

  2. B λ„€, νŒ€μž₯λ‹˜. μ €λŠ” 이 μ—°μˆ˜λ₯Ό μ‚Ό λ…„ μ „λΆ€ν„° μ€€λΉ„ν•΄ μ™”μ–΄μš”. 독일어 자격증 λ”΄λ‹€κ³  μ£Όλ§λ§ˆλ‹€ 학원에 λ‹€λ…”κ³ μš”.

    Ne, timjangnim. Jeoneun i yeonsureul sam nyeon jeonbuteo junbihae wasseoyo. Dogireo jagyeokjeung ttandago jumalmada hagwone danyeotgoyo.

    Yes, sir. I've been preparing for this training for three years. I went to a language school every weekend to get my German certificate.

  3. C 저도 μ€€λΉ„ 많이 ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ „κΈ°μ°¨ 배터리 λΆ€ν’ˆμ€ μ œκ°€ 이 λ…„μ§Έ λ§‘κ³  있고, 이번 κ³Όμ • 절반이 배터리 ν’ˆμ§ˆ κ΄€λ¦¬μ˜ˆμš”.

    Jeodo junbi mani haetseumnida. Jeongicha baeteori bupumeun jega i nyeonjjae matgo itgo, ibeon gwajeong jeolbani baeteori pumjil gwalliyeyo.

    I've prepared a lot too. I've been in charge of EV battery parts for two years, and half of this course is battery quality control.

  4. A ν—ˆν—ˆ, λ‘˜ λ‹€ μ€€λΉ„λ₯Ό λ‹¨λ‹¨νžˆ ν–ˆκ΅¬λ§Œ. 그럼 각자 μ™œ 본인이 κ°€μ•Ό ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ νŽΈν•˜κ²Œ μ–˜κΈ°ν•΄ λ΄μš”.

    Heoheo, dul da junbireul dandanhi haetguman. Geureom gakja wae bonini gaya haneunji pyeonhage yaegihae bwayo.

    Heh, you've both come well prepared, I see. Then go ahead and tell me, each of you, why you should be the one to go.

  5. B ν˜„μ§€ 곡μž₯ μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ€ λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„ μ˜μ–΄λ³΄λ‹€ 독일어λ₯Ό νŽΈν•˜κ²Œ μ“΄λŒ€μš”. 톡역 없이 ν˜„μž₯ μ–˜κΈ°λ₯Ό μ•Œμ•„λ“€μ„ 수 μžˆλŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ€ 우리 νŒ€μ— 저밖에 μ—†μ–΄μš”.

    Hyeonji gongjang saramdeureun daebubun Yeongeoboda Dogireoreul pyeonhage sseundaeyo. Tongyeok eopsi hyeonjang yaegireul aradeureul su inneun sarameun uri time jeobakke eopseoyo.

    They say most people at the plant are more comfortable in German than English. I'm the only one on our team who can follow what's said on the floor without an interpreter.

  6. C 언어도 μ€‘μš”ν•˜μ£ . 그런데 λ°°μ›Œ 온 κ±Έ λ°”λ‘œ μ μš©ν•  ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈκ°€ μžˆλŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ€ μ €μ˜ˆμš”. λ°°μ›Œ 와도 μ“Έ 데가 μ—†μœΌλ©΄ μ˜λ―Έκ°€ μ—†μž–μ•„μš”.

    Eoneodo jungyohajyo. Geureonde baewo on geol baro jeogyonghal peurojekteuga inneun sarameun jeoyeyo. Baewo wado sseul dega eopseumyeon uimiga eopjanayo.

    Language matters, sure. But I'm the one with a project where what we learn can be applied straight away. There's no point learning it if there's nowhere to use it.

  7. B μ“Έ 데가 μ—†λ‹€λ‹ˆμš”? μ œκ°€ 맑은 생산 라인 κ°œμ„ λ„ 독일 방식을 λ“€μ—¬μ˜€λ €κ³  μ‹œμž‘ν•œ κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Sseul dega eopdaniyo? Jega mateun saengsan rain gaeseondo Dogil bangsigeul deuryeooryeogo sijakan geoyeyo.

    Nowhere to use it? The production-line improvements I'm running were started specifically to bring in German methods.

  8. C κ·Έ ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈλŠ” 아직 기획 λ‹¨κ³„μž–μ•„μš”. 제 μͺ½μ€ λ‚΄λ…„ μ΄ˆμ— 양산이 μ‹œμž‘λΌμš”.

    Geu peurojekteuneun ajik gihoek dangyejanayo. Je jjogeun naenyeon choe yangsani sijakdwaeyo.

    That project's still at the planning stage. Mine goes into mass production early next year.

  9. B 그럼 μ†”μ§νžˆ λ§ν• κ²Œμš”. μž‘λ…„ 일본 λ°•λžŒνšŒλ„ λ―Όμ€€ 씨가 κ°”μž–μ•„μš”. κΈ°νšŒκ°€ ν•œ μ‚¬λžŒν•œν…Œλ§Œ 계속 κ°€λ©΄ νŠΉν˜œλΌλŠ” 말이 λ‚˜μ™€μš”.

    Geureom soljiki malhalgeyo. Jangnyeon Ilbon bangnamhoedo Minjun ssiga gatjanayo. Gihoega han saramhanteman gyesok gamyeon teukhyeraneun mari nawayo.

    Then I'll be frank. Minjun went to the trade fair in Japan last year too. If the opportunities keep going to one person, people will call it favouritism.

  10. C 그건 μ œκ°€ κ°€κ² λ‹€κ³  ν•œ 게 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ νŒ€μž₯λ‹˜μ΄ 보내신 κ±°μ£ . κ·Έ μ–˜κΈ°λ₯Ό μ§€κΈˆ 이 μžλ¦¬μ—μ„œ κΊΌλ‚΄λŠ” 건 μ’€ μ•„λ‹Œ 것 κ°™μ€λ°μš”.

    Geugeon jega gagetdago han ge anira timjangnimi bonaesin geojyo. Geu yaegireul jigeum i jarieseo kkeonaeneun geon jom anin geot gateundeyo.

    I didn't ask to go; the manager sent me. I don't think it's right to bring that up here and now.

  11. A 자, 자, λ‘˜ λ‹€ μ§„μ •ν•΄μš”. μ„œλ‘œ 흠작자고 λͺ¨μΈ μžλ¦¬κ°€ μ•„λ‹ˆμ—μš”. μ†”μ§νžˆ 두 μ‚¬λžŒ λ‹€ λ§‰μƒλ§‰ν•˜μ˜ˆμš”.

    Ja, ja, dul da jinjeonghaeyo. Seoro heumjapjago moin jariga anieyo. Soljiki du saram da maksangmakhayeyo.

    Now, now, both of you, calm down. We're not here to pick holes in each other. Honestly, you're neck and neck.

  12. B μ£„μ†‘ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ œκ°€ μ’€ ν₯λΆ„ν–ˆλ„€μš”. μ΄λ²ˆμ— λͺ» κ°€λ©΄ λ‹€μŒ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μ–Έμ œ μ˜¬μ§€ λͺ°λΌμ„œμš”.

    Joesonghamnida. Jega jom heungbunhaenneyo. Ibeone mot gamyeon daeum gihoega eonje olji mollaseoyo.

    I'm sorry. I got a bit worked up. It's just that if I miss this, I don't know when the next chance will come.

  13. C 저도 말이 μ’€ μ‹¬ν–ˆμ–΄μš”. μ„œμ—° 씨가 μ μ‹¬μ‹œκ°„λ§ˆλ‹€ 독일어 κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜λŠ” κ±°, 저도 λ΄€κ±°λ“ μš”.

    Jeodo mari jom simhaesseoyo. Seoyeon ssiga jeomsimsiganmada Dogireo gongbuhaneun geo, jeodo bwatgeodeunyo.

    I was out of line too. I've seen you studying German every lunch break, Seoyeon.

  14. A 사싀 μš°μ—΄μ„ 가리기 μ–΄λ €μ›Œμ„œ 두 μ‚¬λžŒ μΆ”μ²œμ„œλ₯Ό λ‹€ 본사에 μ˜¬λ Έμ–΄μš”. κ·Έλž¬λ”λ‹ˆ λ³Έμ‚¬μ—μ„œ λœ»λ°–μ˜ μ œμ•ˆμ΄ μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Sasil uyeoreul garigi eoryeowoseo du saram chucheonseoreul da bonsae ollyeosseoyo. Geuraetdeoni bonsaeseo tteutbakkui jeani wasseoyo.

    Actually, I couldn't choose between you, so I sent recommendations for both of you to head office. And head office came back with an unexpected offer.

  15. B μ œμ•ˆμ΄μš”? μžλ¦¬κ°€ ν•˜λ‚˜ 더 생긴 κ±΄κ°€μš”?

    Jeaniyo? Jariga hana deo saenggin geongayo?

    An offer? Has another place opened up?

  16. A μžλ¦¬λŠ” μ—¬μ „νžˆ ν•˜λ‚˜μ˜ˆμš”. λŒ€μ‹  석 달 과정이 두 λ‹¨κ³„λ‘œ λ‚˜λ‰˜μ–΄ μžˆμ–΄μ„œ, 파견 기간을 ν•œ 달 λ°˜μ”© λ‚˜λˆ μ„œ 두 μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ 가도 λœλŒ€μš”.

    Jarineun yeojeonhi hanayeyo. Daesin seok dal gwajeongi du dangyero nanwieo isseoseo, pagyeon giganeul han dal banssik nanwoseo du sarami gado doendaeyo.

    It's still one place. But the three-month course comes in two parts, so the posting can be divided into six weeks each for two people.

  17. C 그럼 μ•ž 과정이 생산 라인이고 λ’€ 과정이 배터리 ν’ˆμ§ˆμ΄μ£ ? λ”± 저희 두 μ‚¬λžŒ μΌμ΄λ„€μš”.

    Geureom ap gwajeongi saengsan rainigo dwi gwajeongi baeteori pumjirijyo? Ttak jeohui du saram irineyo.

    So the first part is production lines and the second is battery quality? That's exactly our two jobs.

  18. A λ§žμ•„μš”. λ‹€λ§Œ 쑰건이 μžˆμ–΄μš”. λ¨Όμ € λ‹€λ…€μ˜€λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ ν˜„μ§€μ—μ„œ 배운 κ±Έ λ§€μ£Ό λ³΄κ³ μ„œλ‘œ μ •λ¦¬ν•΄μ„œ λ‹€μŒ μ‚¬λžŒν•œν…Œ λ„˜κ²¨μ€˜μ•Ό ν•΄μš”.

    Majayo. Daman jogeoni isseoyo. Meonjeo danyeooneun sarami hyeonjieseo baeun geol maeju bogoseoro jeongnihaeseo daeum saramhante neomgyeojwoya haeyo.

    Right. But there's a condition. Whoever goes first has to write up what they learn every week and pass it on to the next person.

  19. B λ§€μ£Όμš”? μˆ˜μ—… λ“£κ³  곡μž₯ κ²¬ν•™ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ λ³΄κ³ μ„œκΉŒμ§€ μ“°λ €λ©΄ 잠잘 μ‹œκ°„λ„ μ—†κ² λŠ”λ°μš”.

    Maejuyo? Sueop deutgo gongjang gyeonhakamyeonseo bogoseokkaji sseuryeomyeon jamjal sigando eopgenneundeyo.

    Every week? Between classes and plant visits, writing reports as well, I won't have time to sleep.

  20. A 그리고 ν•˜λ‚˜ 더. ν•œ μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ κ°€ μžˆλŠ” λ™μ•ˆ 남은 μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒ 업무λ₯Ό λ§‘μ•„μ•Ό ν•΄μš”. μ„œλ‘œ 돕지 μ•ŠμœΌλ©΄ 이 방법은 μ•ˆ λΌμš”.

    Geurigo hana deo. Han sarami ga inneun dongan nameun sarami geu saram eommureul mataya haeyo. Seoro dopji aneumyeon i bangbeobeun an dwaeyo.

    And one more thing. While one of you is away, the other takes over their work. If you don't help each other, this won't work.

  21. C κ²°κ΅­ κ²½μŸν•˜λ˜ μ‚¬λžŒλΌλ¦¬ μ„œλ‘œ 빈자리λ₯Ό λ©”μ›Œ μ€˜μ•Ό ν•œλ‹€λŠ” κ±°λ„€μš”. νŒ€μž₯λ‹˜, 이거 μ²˜μŒλΆ€ν„° κ³„νšν•˜μ‹  κ±°μ£ ?

    Gyeolguk gyeongjaenghadeon saramkkiri seoro binjarireul mewo jwoya handaneun geoneyo. Timjangnim, igeo cheoeumbuteo gyehoekasin geojyo?

    So the two rivals have to cover for each other. You planned this from the start, didn't you, sir?

  22. A κ³„νšμ΄λΌκΈ°λ³΄λ‹€λŠ” λ°”λžŒμ΄μ—ˆμ–΄μš”. λ‘˜ 쀑 λˆ„κ΅¬λ₯Ό 보내도 남은 μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ μ„œμš΄ν•  ν…Œλ‹ˆκΉŒμš”.

    Gyehoegiragibodaneun baramieosseoyo. Dul jung nugureul bonaedo nameun sarami seounhal tenikkayo.

    Less a plan than a hope. Whichever of you I sent, the other would have been hurt.

  23. B μ’‹μ•„μš”. 그럼 μ œκ°€ μ•ž 과정에 κ°ˆκ²Œμš”. λ―Όμ€€ 씨 배터리 μžλ£ŒλŠ” μ œκ°€ 미리 곡뢀해 λ‘˜κ²Œμš”.

    Joayo. Geureom jega ap gwajeonge galgeyo. Minjun ssi baeteori jaryoneun jega miri gongbuhae dulgeyo.

    All right. Then I'll take the first part. And I'll study up on your battery materials in advance, Minjun.

  24. C 그럼 μ €λŠ” μ„œμ—° 씨 라인 κ°œμ„  업무 λ§‘μ„κ²Œμš”. λŒ€μ‹  독일 κ°€μ„œ μ†Œμ‹œμ§€ 사진은 보내지 λ§ˆμ„Έμš”. λ°° μ•„ν”„λ‹ˆκΉŒμš”.

    Geureom jeoneun Seoyeon ssi rain gaeseon eommu mateulgeyo. Daesin Dogil gaseo sosiji sajineun bonaeji maseyo. Bae apeunikkayo.

    Then I'll take over your line improvements, Seoyeon. But don't send me pictures of German sausages. I'll be too jealous.
