At home, Yuna (A) asks her older sister Jiyeon (B) to lend her some money.

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.

A 언니, 나 돈 좀 빌려줘. 이번 달만.

Eonni, na don jom billyeojwo. Ibeon dalman.

Sis, can you lend me some money? Just for this month.
B 또? 이번엔 어디에 쓰려고?

Tto? Ibeonen eodie sseuryeogo?

Again? What's it for this time?
A 다음 달에 내가 제일 좋아하는 가수 콘서트가 있어. 표가 십오만 원이야.

Daeum dare naega jeil joahaneun gasu konseoteuga isseo. Pyoga siboman woniya.

My favourite singer has a concert next month. Tickets are 150,000 won.
B 너 월급 받은 지 일주일밖에 안 됐어. 벌써 다 썼어?

Neo wolgeup badeun ji iljuilbakke an dwaesseo. Beolsseo da sseosseo?

You only got paid a week ago. You've already spent it all?
A 그게... 옷도 사고 친구들이랑 밥도 먹고 하니까 금방 다 썼어.

Geuge... otdo sago chingudeurirang bapdo meokgo hanikka geumbang da sseosseo.

Well... I bought some clothes and ate out with friends, and it was gone just like that.
B 돈은 안 빌려줘. 대신 내가 돈 모으는 방법 알려 줄게.

Doneun an billyeojwo. Daesin naega don moeuneun bangbeop allyeo julge.

I'm not lending you money. But I'll show you how I save.
A 무슨 방법? 언니는 어떻게 그렇게 잘 모아?

Museun bangbeop? Eonnineun eotteoke geureoke jal moa?

What's the trick? How are you so good at saving?
B 월급날 돈이 저축 통장으로 바로 나가게 했어. 남은 돈만 쓰는 거지.

Wolgeumnal doni jeochuk tongjangeuro baro nagage haesseo. Nameun donman sseuneun geoji.

I set it up so money goes straight into my savings account on payday. Then I just spend what's left.
A 그래도 카드가 있으면 또 쓸 것 같은데.

Geuraedo kadeuga isseumyeon tto sseul geot gateunde.

But if there's a card, I think I'd just spend it anyway.
B 그래서 그 통장은 카드도 안 만들었어. 앱 켜 봐, 지금 같이 하자.

Geuraeseo geu tongjangeun kadeudo an mandeureosseo. Aep kyeo bwa, jigeum gachi haja.

That's why I never even got a card for that account. Open your banking app, let's do it together now.
A 지금? 언니, 나 콘서트 못 가게 하려고 그러지?

Jigeum? Eonni, na konseoteu mot gage haryeogo geureoji?

Now? Sis, you're just trying to stop me going to the concert, aren't you?
B 이번 콘서트는 영상으로 봐. 다음 콘서트는 네 돈으로 가고.

Ibeon konseoteuneun yeongsangeuro bwa. Daeum konseoteuneun ne doneuro gago.

Watch this one on video. You can go to the next one with your own money.
