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
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
-

An offer? Has another place opened up?

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.

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

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.
-

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

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.

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

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

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

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