   A 은지 씨, 점심시간마다 부동산 앱을 보네요. 집 구하는 게 쉽지 않은가 봐요.

   Eunji ssi, jeomsimsiganmada budongsan aebeul boneyo. Jip guhaneun ge swipji aneunga bwayo.

   Eunji, you look at property apps every lunch break. I guess finding a place isn't easy.

   B 네. 서울은 처음이라서 동네를 하나도 몰라요.

   Ne. Seoureun cheoeumiraseo dongnereul hanado mollayo.

   No, it isn't. I'm new to Seoul, so I don't know any of the neighbourhoods.

   A 집을 고를 때 제일 중요한 게 뭐예요? 월세? 출퇴근 시간?

   What matters most to you in a place? The rent? The commute?

   Around 500,000 won for the rent. And I'd like to be within thirty minutes of the office.

   A 그럼 망원동은 어때요? 회사랑 가깝고, 월세도 이 근처보다 싼 편이에요.

   Geureom Mangwondongeun eottaeyo? Hoesarang gakkapgo, wolsedo i geuncheoboda ssan pyeonieyo.

   Then how about Mangwon-dong? It's close to the office, and the rent is fairly cheap compared with around here.

   B 망원동이요? 거기 시끄럽지 않아요? 저는 조용한 걸 좋아하는 편이라서요.

   Mangwondongiyo? Geogi sikkeureopji anayo? Jeoneun joyonghan geol joahaneun pyeoniraseoyo.

   Mangwon-dong? Isn't it noisy there? I'm more of a quiet type.

   A 큰길 쪽만 아니면 조용해요. 시장도 있고 한강도 가까워요.

   Keungil jjongman animyeon joyonghaeyo. Sijangdo itgo Hangangdo gakkawoyo.

   It's quiet unless you're on the main road. There's a market, and the Han River is close.

   B 좋네요. 근데 사진만 보고 계약하기는 좀 무서워요.

   Jonneyo. Geunde sajinman bogo gyeyakagineun jom museowoyo.

   Then look at a few places this weekend, and after that, try walking from the station to the flat at night.

    Najeneun gwaenchanado bameneun eoduun giri itgeodeunyo. Jikjeop georeo bwaya arayo.

    Some streets are fine in the daytime but dark at night. You only find out by walking them yourself.

    Line 11

    B 아, 그건 생각 못 했어요. 토요일에 걸어 본 다음에 말씀드릴게요.
