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 어, 어! 재민아, 드론 너무 높이 올라가잖아!

Eo, eo! Jaemina, deuron neomu nopi ollagajana!

Whoa, whoa! Jaemin, the drone's going way too high!
B 내가 한 거 아니야! 바람이 갑자기 불어 가지고 조종이 안 돼!

Naega han geo aniya! Barami gapjagi bureo gajigo jojongi an dwae!

It's not me! The wind suddenly picked up, and I can't control it!
C 아... 소나무에 걸렸다.

A... sonamue geollyeotda.

Oh no... it's stuck in a pine tree.
A 어떡해! 산 지 일주일도 안 됐는데!

Eotteokae! San ji iljuildo an dwaenneunde!

No way! I bought it less than a week ago!
B 유나 네가 옆에서 계속 말 걸어 가지고 화면을 못 봤잖아.

Yuna nega yeopeseo gyesok mal georeo gajigo hwamyeoneul mot bwatjana.

Yuna, you kept talking to me, so I couldn't watch the screen.
C 뭐? 나는 사진 찍느라고 너한테 말 건 적도 없어.

Mwo? Naneun sajin jjingneurago neohante mal geon jeokdo eopseo.

What? I was busy taking photos. I never even talked to you.
A 그만 싸워. 지금 그게 중요한 게 아니잖아.

Geuman ssawo. Jigeum geuge jungyohan ge anijana.

Stop fighting. That's not what matters right now.
B 나무를 흔들어 보면 떨어지지 않을까?

Namureul heundeureo bomyeon tteoreojiji aneulkka?

What if we shake the tree? Won't it fall?
C 저렇게 큰 소나무를 어떻게 흔들어? 떨어지면서 부서질 수도 있어.

Jeoreoke keun sonamureul eotteoke heundeureo? Tteoreojimyeonseo buseojil sudo isseo.

How are you going to shake a pine that big? It could break when it falls.
A 긴 막대기로 살살 밀어 보자. 저기 매점 아저씨한테 빌려 볼까?

Gin makdaegiro salsal mireo boja. Jeogi maejeom ajeossihante billyeo bolkka?

Let's push it gently with a long pole. Should we ask the man at the snack shop to lend us one?
B 좋아. 내가 뛰어갔다 올게. 너희는 드론 잘 보고 있어.

Joa. Naega ttwieogatda olge. Neohuineun deuron jal bogo isseo.

Okay. I'll run over. You two keep an eye on the drone.
C 근데 재민아, 아까 앱에 바람 세다고 경고 뜬 거 봤어?

Geunde Jaemina, akka aebe baram sedago gyeonggo tteun geo bwasseo?

But Jaemin, did you see the app warning about strong wind earlier?
B ...그 얘기는 나중에! 일단 막대기부터!

...Geu yaegineun najunge! Ildan makdaegibuteo!

...We'll talk about that later! Pole first!
