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.

A 얘들아, 웨딩홀에서 축가 규칙을 보내 줬어. 들어 봐.

Yaedeura, wedinghoreseo chukga gyuchigeul bonae jwosseo. Deureo bwa.

Guys, the wedding hall sent us the rules for the wedding song. Listen.
C 무슨 규칙인데? 설마 노래 못 하게 하는 거 아니지?

Museun gyuchiginde? Seolma norae mot hage haneun geo aniji?

What rules? They're not banning the song, are they?
A "축가는 가능하나 5분을 넘으면 안 됩니다. 마이크는 두 개만 드립니다."

"Chukganeun ganeunghana 5buneul neomeumyeon an doemnida. Maikeuneun du gaeman deurimnida."

"Wedding songs are permitted but must not exceed five minutes. Only two microphones will be provided."
B 5분? 우리 노래 끝까지 부르면 6분 넘는데.

5bun? Uri norae kkeutkkaji bureumyeon 6bun neomneunde.

Five minutes? Our song goes over six if we sing the whole thing.
C 그럼 2절은 빼자. 1절 부르고 바로 마지막 부분으로 가면 되잖아.

Geureom 2jeoreun ppaeja. 1jeol bureugo baro majimak bubuneuro gamyeon doejana.

Then let's drop the second verse. We can sing the first verse and jump straight to the ending.
A 좋아. 근데 마이크가 두 개니까 둘은 같이 써야 돼.

Joa. Geunde maikeuga du gaenikka dureun gachi sseoya dwae.

Okay. But there are only two mics, so two of us will have to share.
C 민재는 목소리가 크니까 혼자 쓰고, 우리 둘이 하나 쓰자.

Minjaeneun moksoriga keunikka honja sseugo, uri duri hana sseuja.

Minjae's got a loud voice, so he can have one to himself, and we'll share the other.
B 나 혼자? 나 긴장하면 가사 다 까먹는 거 알잖아.

Na honja? Na ginjanghamyeon gasa da kkameongneun geo aljana.

Me, on my own? You know I forget all the lyrics when I get nervous.
A 그러니까 오늘부터 가사를 완전히 외워 둬.

Geureonikka oneulbuteo gasareul wanjeonhi oewo dwo.

That's why you need to learn the lyrics by heart, starting today.
C 그리고 휴대폰에도 가사 저장해 둬. 혹시 모르니까.

Geurigo hyudaeponedo gasa jeojanghae dwo. Hoksi moreunikka.

And save the lyrics on your phone too. Just in case.
B 알았어. 근데 신부 얼굴 보면 울 것 같아. 끝부분은 너희가 불러.

Arasseo. Geunde sinbu eolgul bomyeon ul geot gata. Kkeutbubuneun neohuiga bulleo.

Fine. But I think I'll cry when I see the bride's face. You two sing the ending.
A 하하, 알았어. 자, 처음부터 한 번 연습해 보자.

Haha, arasseo. Ja, cheoeumbuteo han beon yeonseupae boja.

Ha ha, okay. Right, let's practise it once from the top.
