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 예은아, 버스가 왜 안 오지? 벌써 이십 분 기다렸어.

Yeeuna, beoseuga wae an oji? Beolsseo isip bun gidaryeosseo.

Ye-eun, why isn't the bus coming? We've already waited twenty minutes.
B 잠깐만. 여기 뭐 붙어 있어. '오늘부터 노선 변경'?

Jamkkanman. Yeogi mwo buteo isseo. 'Oneulbuteo noseon byeongyeong'?

Wait. There's a notice here. 'Route change from today'?
A 뭐? 우리가 삼 년 동안 타던 버스가? 그럼 이제 여기 안 서?

Mwo? Uriga sam nyeon dongan tadeon beoseuga? Geureom ije yeogi an seo?

What? The bus we've taken for three years? So it doesn't stop here any more?
B 응, 노선이 바뀌었어. 이제 큰길 쪽 정류장에만 서.

Eung, noseoni bakkwieosseo. Ije keungil jjok jeongnyujangeman seo.

Nope, the route's changed. Now it only stops on the main road.
A 큰일 났네. 첫 시간에 영어 쪽지 시험 있어. 지각하면 끝이야.

Keunil nanne. Cheot sigane Yeongeo jjokji siheom isseo. Jigakamyeon kkeuchiya.

We're in trouble. There's an English quiz first period. If we're late, we're done for.
B 잠깐, 지도 앱 좀 보고 나서 정하자.

Jamkkan, jido aep jom bogo naseo jeonghaja.

Hang on, let me check the map app, then we'll decide.
A 큰길까지 뛰어가면 몇 분이야?

Keungilkkaji ttwieogamyeon myeot buniya?

How many minutes if we run to the main road?
B 십 분. 근데 마을버스 타고 두 정거장 가서 지하철로 갈아타면 더 빨라.

Sip bun. Geunde maeulbeoseu tago du jeonggeojang gaseo jihacheollo garatamyeon deo ppalla.

Ten. But if we take the local bus two stops and change to the subway, it's quicker.
A 어, 저기 마을버스 와! 빨리 뛰어!

Eo, jeogi maeulbeoseu wa! Ppalli ttwieo!

Oh, there's the local bus! Run!
