At the office, Minhyuk (B), a new employee, goes to his team manager, Ms. Song (A), with a request.

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.

B 팀장님, 휴가 때문에 드릴 말씀이 있습니다.

Timjangnim, hyuga ttaemune deuril malsseumi itseumnida.

Ms. Song, I need to talk to you about taking leave.
A 네, 민혁 씨. 앉아요. 언제 쓰려고요?

Ne, Minhyeok ssi. Anjayo. Eonje sseuryeogoyo?

Sure, Minhyuk. Have a seat. When were you thinking?
B 다음 주 금요일에 하루 쓰고 싶습니다. 여자 친구 생일이라서 제주도로 여행을 가려고 합니다.

Daeum ju geumyoire haru sseugo sipseumnida. Yeoja chingu saengiriraseo Jejudoro yeohaengeul garyeogo hamnida.

I'd like to take next Friday off. It's my girlfriend's birthday, so we're planning a trip to Jeju.
A 좋네요. 근데 입사한 지 얼마 안 됐잖아요. 휴가 규정에 대해서 들은 적 있어요?

Jonneyo. Geunde ipsahan ji eolma an dwaetjanayo. Hyuga gyujeonge daehaeseo deureun jeok isseoyo?

That sounds nice. But you've only just joined. Has anyone told you about the leave rules?
B 아니요, 아직 잘 모릅니다. 비행기 표는 벌써 사 두었는데 괜찮겠습니까?

Aniyo, ajik jal moreumnida. Bihaenggi pyoneun beolsseo sa dueonneunde gwaenchanketseumnikka?

No, I don't really know them yet. I've already bought the plane tickets. Will that be all right?
A 표부터 샀어요? 하하, 걱정하지 마요. 제가 간단하게 설명할게요.

Pyobuteo sasseoyo? Haha, geokjeonghaji mayo. Jega gandanhage seolmyeonghalgeyo.

You bought the tickets first? Ha ha, don't worry. Let me explain quickly.
B 네, 부탁드립니다.

Ne, butakdeurimnida.

Yes, please.
A 신입 사원은 한 달에 하루씩 휴가가 생겨요. 그러니까 이번 달 휴가를 쓰면 돼요.

Sinip sawoneun han dare harussik hyugaga saenggyeoyo. Geureonikka ibeon dal hyugareul sseumyeon dwaeyo.

New employees get one day of leave for each month. So you can use this month's day.
B 다행입니다. 신청은 어떻게 합니까?

Dahaengimnida. Sincheongeun eotteoke hamnikka?

What a relief. How do I apply?
A 회사 시스템에서 휴가 신청서를 쓰면 제가 확인할게요. 보통 일주일 전에는 내야 돼요.

Hoesa siseutemeseo hyuga sincheongseoreul sseumyeon jega hwaginhalgeyo. Botong iljuil jeoneneun naeya dwaeyo.

Fill in a leave request on the company system, and I'll look it over. Usually you need to put it in at least a week ahead.
B 그럼 오늘 바로 쓰겠습니다. 금요일 업무는 어떻게 할까요?

Geureom oneul baro sseugetseumnida. Geumyoil eommuneun eotteoke halkkayo?

Then I'll do it today. What should I do about my work on Friday?
A 급한 일은 목요일까지 끝내 두고, 나머지는 은비 씨한테 부탁해 두세요.

Geupan ireun mogyoilkkaji kkeunnae dugo, nameojineun Eunbi ssihante butakae duseyo.

Finish anything urgent by Thursday, and ask Eunbi to cover the rest.
B 알겠습니다. 감사합니다, 팀장님. 혹시 제주도 귤 좋아하십니까?

Algetseumnida. Gamsahamnida, timjangnim. Hoksi Jejudo gyul joahasimnikka?

Understood. Thank you, Ms. Song. Do you happen to like Jeju tangerines?
A 귤 얘기는 휴가 신청서 올리고 나서 해요.

Gyul yaegineun hyuga sincheongseo olligo naseo haeyo.

Save the tangerine talk until you've put in your leave request.
