Day 151: Help Wanted at the Dumpling Shop

At their favourite dumpling shop, Taemin (A) and his girlfriend Sohee (B) notice a sign on the door, and the owner (C) comes over.

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.

Taemina, jeogi mune 'jigwon guham' buteo isseo. Sajangnimi sarameul guhasineunga bwa.

Taemin, there's a "Help Wanted" sign on the door. The owner must be looking for someone.
A 진짜네. 나 요즘 주말 알바 찾고 있잖아.

So there is. I've been looking for a weekend job, you know.
B 그럼 한번 물어봐. 너 여기 만두 좋아하잖아.

Then ask. You love the dumplings here.
A 좋아하기는 하는데, 만두를 빚어 본 적은 없어.

Joahagineun haneunde, mandureul bijeo bon jeogeun eopseo.

I do like them, but I've never actually made dumplings.

Ne. Geunde sikdangeseo ilhan gyeongheomi eomneunde gwaenchaneulkkayo?

Great. So now you'll be slipping me free dumplings, right?
C 하하, 서비스는 사장인 제가 드릴게요.
