Day 202: Getting Paid to Walk

At a café, Hyunwoo (A) shows his friend Jisoo (B) a new app on his phone.

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 지수야, 이거 봐. 나 어제 만 오천 걸음 걸었어.

Jisuya, igeo bwa. Na eoje man ocheon georeum georeosseo.

Jisoo, look at this. I walked fifteen thousand steps yesterday.
B 갑자기 웬 운동이야? 너 원래 버스 한 정거장도 안 걷잖아.

Gapjagi wen undongiya? Neo wollae beoseu han jeonggeojangdo an geotjana.

Since when do you exercise? You won't even walk one bus stop.
A 이 앱 때문이야. 걷는 만큼 포인트를 줘.

I aep ttaemuniya. Geonneun mankeum pointeureul jwo.

It's this app. The more you walk, the more points you get.
B 포인트? 그걸로 뭐 할 수 있는데?

Pointeu? Geugeollo mwo hal su inneunde?

Points? What can you do with them?
A 모으면 편의점에서 쓸 수 있어. 오천 포인트면 커피 한 잔이 공짜야.

Moeumyeon pyeonuijeomeseo sseul su isseo. Ocheon pointeumyeon keopi han jani gongjjaya.

You save them up and use them at convenience stores. Five thousand points gets you a free coffee.
B 하루에 얼마나 받는데?

Harue eolmana banneunde?

How many do you get a day?
A 만 걸음에 백 포인트.

Man georeume baek pointeu.

A hundred points for ten thousand steps.
B 겨우? 그럼 커피 한 잔 마시려면 오십 일이나 걸어야 되잖아.

Gyeou? Geureom keopi han jan masiryeomyeon osip irina georeoya doejana.

That's it? Then you'd have to walk for fifty days to get one coffee.
A 친구를 초대하면 천 포인트를 더 줘. 너도 깔아. 그럼 우리 둘 다 받아.

Chingureul chodaehamyeon cheon pointeureul deo jwo. Neodo kkara. Geureom uri dul da bada.

If you invite a friend, you get an extra thousand points. Download it too. Then we both get them.
B 결국 나를 이용하는 거네. 좋아, 대신 내기하자. 공짜 커피 먼저 받는 사람이 이기는 거야.

Gyeolguk nareul iyonghaneun geone. Joa, daesin naegihaja. Gongjja keopi meonjeo banneun sarami igineun geoya.

So you're just using me. Fine, but let's make it a bet. First one to get a free coffee wins.
A 좋아. 진 사람이 케이크까지 사기. 자, 누가 이길 것 같아?

Joa. Jin sarami keikeukkaji sagi. Ja, nuga igil geot gata?

Deal. Loser buys cake too. So, who do you think's going to win?
B 저요, 저요! 나 출퇴근할 때 한 시간씩 걷거든.

Jeoyo, jeoyo! Na chultoegeunhal ttae han siganssik geotgeodeun.

Me, me! I walk an hour every day to and from work.
A 뭐? 그럼 이 내기 취소야!

Mwo? Geureom i naegi chwisoya!

What? Then the bet's off!
