Day 192: KTX Stops Between Stations

On a KTX train to Busan for a client meeting, Junho (A), a junior employee, is travelling with his manager, Mr. Kang (B), when the train comes to a stop.

How to study this lesson 4 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Mr. Kang, why has the train suddenly stopped?

    It's twenty minutes by taxi from Busan Station to the client's office, so we'd better let them know now.

    Gichaga meomchwotdago haetdeoni, geokjeonghasidaga tto 'babeun meogeonni?' Hasineyo.

    I told her the train had stopped, and she worried for a moment, then asked, "Have you eaten?" again.

  10. A ν•˜ν•˜, μ–΄λ¨Έλ‹˜λ“€μ€ λ‹€ λ˜‘κ°™λ„€μš”. 근데 λΆ€μž₯λ‹˜κ»˜λŠ” μ—°λ½ν•˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”?

    Haha, eomeonimdeureun da ttokganneyo. Geunde bujangnimkkeneun yeollakasyeosseoyo?

    Ha ha, moms are all the same. But did you get hold of Mr. Kim?

    Jega munjado bonae noeulgeyo. 'Samsip bun neujeul geot gatseumnida. Joesonghamnida.' Ireokeyo.

    I'll send a text as well. Something like, "We'll be about thirty minutes late. We apologise."

  13. B μ’‹μ•„μš”. μ–΄, κΈ°μ°¨κ°€ λ‹€μ‹œ μ›€μ§μ΄λ„€μš”! 회의 λλ‚˜λ©΄ μ–΄λ¨Έλ‹ˆ λ§μ”€λŒ€λ‘œ λ°₯λΆ€ν„° λ¨Ήμμ‹œλ‹€.
