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. C μ—„λ§ˆ, μ € 두 μ‚¬λžŒμ€ μ™œ 자꾸 μ„œλ‘œ 말을 λŠμ–΄? μ„ μƒλ‹˜μ΄ 남이 말할 λ•Œ 끼어듀면 μ•ˆ λœλ‹€κ³  ν–ˆλŠ”λ°.

    Eomma, jeo du sarameun wae jakku seoro mareul kkeuneo? Seonsaengnimi nami malhal ttae kkieodeulmyeon an doendago haenneunde.

    Mom, why do those two keep cutting each other off? My teacher said you shouldn't butt in when someone else is talking.

  2. A 잘 λ΄€λ„€. 토둠은 μ‹œκ°„μ΄ μ •ν•΄μ Έ μžˆμ–΄μ„œ λ‹€λ“€ 자기 말뢀터 ν•˜λ €κ³  그래. κ·Έλž˜λ„ λ‚¨μ˜ 말을 λŠλŠ” 건 μ˜ˆμ˜κ°€ μ•„λ‹ˆμ§€.

    Jal bwanne. Toroneun sigani jeonghaejyeo isseoseo dadeul jagi malbuteo haryeogo geurae. Geuraedo namui mareul kkeunneun geon yeuiga aniji.

    Good eye. Debates have strict time limits, so everyone tries to get their own point in first. Still, cutting people off isn't polite.

  3. B κ·Έλž˜λ„ 2번 ν›„λ³΄λŠ” λ²„μŠ€ 곡약은 μ œλŒ€λ‘œ μ„€λͺ…ν–ˆμ–΄. μ•„λΉ λŠ” κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒ 말이 제일 ν˜„μ‹€μ μ΄λ˜λ°.

    Geuraedo 2beon huboneun beoseu gongyageun jedaero seolmyeonghaesseo. Appaneun geu saram mari jeil hyeonsiljeogideonde.

    Still, candidate number two explained his bus plan properly. I thought he sounded the most realistic.

  4. A ν˜„μ‹€μ μ΄λΌκ³ ? μ˜ˆμ‚° μ–˜κΈ°λŠ” ν•˜λ‚˜λ„ μ—†λ˜λ°. 여보, μ•„κΉŒ λ‚΄κ°€ μ„€κ±°μ§€ν•  λ•Œ 1번 ν›„λ³΄λŠ” 어린이집 μ–˜κΈ°λ₯Ό 뭐라고 ν•˜λ˜κ°€?

    Hyeonsiljeogirago? Yesan yaegineun hanado eopdeonde. Yeobo, akka naega seolgeojihal ttae 1beon huboneun eorinijip yaegireul mworago hadeonga?

    Realistic? He didn't say a word about the budget. Honey, while I was doing the dishes, what did candidate number one say about daycare?

  5. B κ΅¬λ§ˆλ‹€ ꡭ곡립 어린이집을 두 κ°œμ”© 더 μ§“κ² λŒ€. 근데 돈이 μ–΄λ””μ„œ λ‚˜μ˜€λŠ”μ§€λŠ” κ·Έ μ‚¬λžŒλ„ 말 μ•ˆ ν•˜λ”λΌ.

    Gumada gukgongnip eorinijibeul du gaessik deo jitgetdae. Geunde doni eodiseo naoneunjineun geu saramdo mal an hadeora.

    She said she'll build two more public daycare centres in every district. But she didn't say where the money's coming from either.

  6. C 그럼 λ‘˜ λ‹€ 돈 μ–˜κΈ°λŠ” 쏙 λΊ€ κ±°λ„€. 근데 μ—„λ§ˆλž‘ μ•„λΉ λŠ” μ™œ λ‹€λ₯Έ μ‚¬λžŒμ„ 뽑아? 우리 가쑱인데.

    Geureom dul da don yaegineun ssok ppaen geone. Geunde eommarang appaneun wae dareun sarameul ppoba? Uri gajoginde.

    So neither of them talked about money. But why are you and Dad voting for different people? We're a family.

  7. A 가쑱이라도 생각은 λ‹€λ₯Ό 수 μžˆμ–΄. 이번 μ„ κ±° 쟁점이 μ–΄λ¦°μ΄μ§‘ν•˜κ³  λ²„μŠ€μΈλ°, μ—„λ§ˆλŠ” 어린이집이, μ•„λΉ λŠ” λ²„μŠ€κ°€ 더 κΈ‰ν•˜λ‹€κ³  λ³΄λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό.

    Gajogirado saenggageun dareul su isseo. Ibeon seongeo jaengjeomi eorinijipago beoseuinde, eommaneun eorinijibi, appaneun beoseuga deo geupadago boneun geoya.

    Even in a family, people can think differently. The big issues in this election are daycare and buses, and I think daycare is more urgent while Dad thinks the buses are.

  8. B λ§žμ•„. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ νˆ¬ν‘œλŠ” ν•œ μ‚¬λžŒμ΄ ν•œ ν‘œμ”©μ΄μ•Ό. ν•˜μœ€μ΄λ„ 크면 ν•˜μœ€μ΄ μƒκ°λŒ€λ‘œ 찍으면 돼.

    Maja. Geuraeseo tupyoneun han sarami han pyossigiya. Hayunido keumyeon Hayuni saenggakdaero jjigeumyeon dwae.

    That's right. That's why it's one person, one vote. When you grow up, you'll vote the way you think too.

  9. C 근데 μ—„λ§ˆ 아빠도 μ € μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ²˜λŸΌ 이따 μ‹ΈμšΈ κ±°μ•Ό? 그럼 λ‚˜λŠ” λˆ„κ΅¬ 편 λ“€μ–΄μ•Ό 돼?

    Geunde eomma appado jeo saramdeulcheoreom itta ssaul geoya? Geureom naneun nugu pyeon deureoya dwae?

    But are you and Dad going to fight later, like those people? Then whose side do I take?

  10. A μ•ˆ μ‹Έμ›Œ. 의견이 달라도 μ‘΄μ€‘ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ λ§ν•˜λŠ” 방법이 μžˆκ±°λ“ . 보여 μ€„κΉŒ? 여보, λ²„μŠ€ 곡약 μž₯점 ν•˜λ‚˜λ§Œ 말해 봐.

    An ssawo. Uigyeoni dallado jonjunghamyeonseo malhaneun bangbeobi itgeodeun. Boyeo julkka? Yeobo, beoseu gongyak jangjeom hanaman malhae bwa.

    We won't fight. There's a way of talking respectfully even when you disagree. Want me to show you? Honey, tell me just one good thing about the bus plan.

  11. B μƒˆλ²½ 첫차λ₯Ό μ‚Όμ‹­ λΆ„ λ‹ΉκΈ΄λ‹€λŠ” κ±°. 우리 νšŒμ‚¬ μ²­μ†Œν•˜μ‹œλŠ” 뢄듀이 제일 λ°˜κΈ°μ‹€ κ±°μ•Ό. μ΄λ²ˆμ—” 여보 μ°¨λ‘€.

    Saebyeok cheotchareul samsip bun danggindaneun geo. Uri hoesa cheongsohasineun bundeuri jeil bangisil geoya. Ibeonen yeobo charye.

    Moving the first bus of the morning thirty minutes earlier. The cleaners at my office would be happiest about that. Your turn.

  12. A 어린이집은 λŒ€κΈ°ν•˜λŠ” 아이듀이 μ€„μ–΄λ“ λ‹€λŠ” κ±°. 우리 ν•˜μœ€μ΄λ„ 이 λ…„ κΈ°λ‹€λ Έμž–μ•„. 봐, μž₯점뢀터 λ§ν•˜λ‹ˆκΉŒ 싸움이 μ•ˆ λ‚˜μ§€?

    Eorinijibeun daegihaneun aideuri jureodeundaneun geo. Uri Hayunido i nyeon gidaryeotjana. Bwa, jangjeombuteo malhanikka ssaumi an naji?

    With the daycare plan, fewer children will be stuck on waiting lists. Our Hayun waited two years too. See? When you start with the good points, there's no fight.

  13. C 였, μ‹ κΈ°ν•˜λ‹€. 그럼 단점 말할 λ•ŒλŠ”? κ·Έλ•ŒλŠ” μ‹Έμ›Œ?

    O, singihada. Geureom danjeom malhal ttaeneun? Geuttaeneun ssawo?

    Oh, cool. What about when you say the bad points? Do you fight then?

  14. B 단점은 μ‚¬λžŒ 말고 곡약에 λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλ§Œ λ§ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό. 'μ € μ‚¬λžŒ 바보야'κ°€ μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ 'μ € κ³„νšμ€ 돈이 λͺ¨μžλž„ 것 κ°™μ•„' ν•˜κ³  λ§ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ§€.

    Danjeomeun saram malgo gongyage daehaeseoman malhaneun geoya. 'Jeo saram baboya'ga anira 'jeo gyehoegeun doni mojaral geot gata' hago malhaneun geoji.

    With the bad points, you only talk about the plan, not the person. Not 'That man's an idiot,' but 'I think that plan will run short of money,' like that.

  15. C μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 그럼 μ•„λΉ  단점 말해도 돼? μ•„λΉ κ°€ ν† λ‘  μ‹œμž‘ν•˜κ³  μ‹­ λΆ„ λ§Œμ— 과자 ν•œ 봉지λ₯Ό 혼자 λ‹€ λ¨Ήμ–΄ μΉ˜μ› μ–΄.

    Arasseo. Geureom appa danjeom malhaedo dwae? Appaga toron sijakago sip bun mane gwaja han bongjireul honja da meogeo chiwosseo.

    Got it. Then can I say one of Dad's bad points? Ten minutes into the debate, Dad polished off a whole bag of snacks by himself.

  16. A ν•˜ν•˜, 그건 곡약이 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ μ‚¬λžŒ μ–˜κΈ°μž–μ•„. 근데 여보, μ§„μ§œ λ‹€ λ¨Ήμ–΄ μΉ˜μ› μ–΄? λ‚΄ λͺ«μ€?

    Haha, geugeon gongyagi anira saram yaegijana. Geunde yeobo, jinjja da meogeo chiwosseo? Nae mokseun?

    Ha ha, that's about the person, not the plan. But honey, did you really eat the whole thing? Where's my share?

  17. B κΈ΄μž₯ν•˜λ©΄ 손이 μ €μ ˆλ‘œ 가더라. 토둠은 μ›λž˜ λ³΄λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒκΉŒμ§€ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ λ–¨λ¦¬κ²Œ ν•˜λŠ” 건가?

    Ginjanghamyeon soni jeojeollo gadeora. Toroneun wollae boneun saramkkaji ireoke tteollige haneun geonga?

    When I get tense, my hand just reaches out by itself. Do debates always make even the people watching this jittery?

  18. C μ•„λΉ κ°€ μ™œ λ–¨λ €? μ•„λΉ κ°€ λ‚˜μ˜¨ 것도 μ•„λ‹Œλ°. μ—„λ§ˆ, 이제 채널 λŒλ €λ„ 돼? λ§Œν™” ν•  μ‹œκ°„μ΄μ•Ό.

    Appaga wae tteollyeo? Appaga naon geotdo aninde. Eomma, ije chaeneol dollyeodo dwae? Manhwa hal siganiya.

    Why are you nervous, Dad? You're not the one on TV. Mom, can we change the channel now? It's time for my cartoon.

  19. A λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰ 질문 ν•˜λ‚˜λ§Œ 보자. μœ κΆŒμžλ“€μ΄ 직접 보낸 질문이라 제일 μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ±°λ“ . μ΄λ²ˆμ—” μ œλŒ€λ‘œ λŒ€λ‹΅ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ 같이 보자.

    Majimak jilmun hanaman boja. Yugwonjadeuri jikjeop bonaen jilmunira jeil jungyohageodeun. Ibeonen jedaero daedapaneunji gachi boja.

    Let's just watch the last question. It was sent in by voters themselves, so it's the most important one. Let's see together whether they answer properly this time.

  20. B ν•˜μœ€μ•„, μ—„λ§ˆκ°€ λκΉŒμ§€ 보자면 λκΉŒμ§€ 봐야지. λλ‚˜μžλ§ˆμž μ•„λΉ κ°€ λ§Œν™” ν‹€μ–΄ μ€„κ²Œ.

    Hayuna, eommaga kkeutkkaji bojamyeon kkeutkkaji bwayaji. Kkeunnajamaja appaga manhwa teureo julge.

    Hayun, if Mom says we watch till the end, we watch till the end. The minute it's over, I'll put your cartoon on.

  21. C 치, μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 근데 μ € 아저씨 또 말 λŠλŠ”λ‹€! μ•„λΉ , 이거 λ‹¨μ μœΌλ‘œ 말해도 λ˜μ§€? μ‚¬λžŒ 말고 말 λŠλŠ” 거에 λŒ€ν•΄μ„œ.

    Chi, arasseo. Geunde jeo ajeossi tto mal kkeunneunda! Appa, igeo danjeomeuro malhaedo doeji? Saram malgo mal kkeunneun geoe daehaeseo.

    Hmph, fine. But that man's cutting in again! Dad, I can call that a bad point, right? About the cutting in, not the person.

  22. B μ™„λ²½ν•΄. 방금 λ„€κ°€ ν•œ 말이 였늘 ν† λ‘ μ—μ„œ λ‚˜μ˜¨ μ–΄λ–€ 말보닀 예의 λ°”λ₯Έλ°?

    Wanbyeokae. Banggeum nega han mari oneul toroneseo naon eotteon malboda yeui bareunde?

    Perfect. What you just said was more polite than anything anyone said in tonight's debate.

  23. A 우리 딸이 ν›„λ³΄λ‘œ λ‚˜μ˜€λ©΄ μ—„λ§ˆλŠ” 무쑰건 μ°λŠ”λ‹€. 곡약이 뭐야?

    Uri ttari huboro naomyeon eommaneun mujogeon jjingneunda. Gongyagi mwoya?

    If our daughter ran, I'd vote for her no matter what. What's your platform?

  24. C 첫째, κ³ΌμžλŠ” 가쑱이 κ³΅ν‰ν•˜κ²Œ λ‚˜λˆ  λ¨ΉλŠ”λ‹€. λ‘˜μ§Έ, ν† λ‘ ν•˜λŠ” 날에도 λ§Œν™”λŠ” λ³Έλ‹€. μ•„λΉ , 이 곡약 λ°˜λŒ€μ•Ό?

    Cheotjjae, gwajaneun gajogi gongpyeonghage nanwo meongneunda. Duljjae, toronhaneun naredo manhwaneun bonda. Appa, i gongyak bandaeya?

    One: snacks are shared fairly in the family. Two: cartoons get watched even on debate nights. Dad, are you against my platform?

  25. B 첫 λ²ˆμ§ΈλŠ” μ’€ μ°”λ¦¬λŠ”λ°... ν›„λ³΄λ‹˜, κ·Έ 곡약에 λ“œλŠ” μ˜ˆμ‚°μ€ μ–΄λ””μ„œ λ‚˜μ˜΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ?

    The first one stings a bit... Candidate, where's the budget for that pledge coming from?
