Day 24: Song for Grandpa's Seventieth

A few days before her grandfather's seventieth birthday party, Hayun (A) secretly asks Grandpa (B) what she should do for him.

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.

    Harabeoji, igeo bimirindeyo, hana yeojjwobwado dwaeyo?

    Grandpa, it's a secret, but can I ask you something?

    A secret? Sure, what is it?

    Well, look at my Hayun, taking care of Grandpa's seventieth.

    Noraehalkkayo, chumchulkkayo? Jeo yojeum hakgyoeseo chum yeonseupago isseoyo.

    Should I sing or dance? I've been practising dancing at school lately.

  6. B λ…Έλž˜κ³  좀이고 λ‹€ μ’‹μ•„. ν•˜μœ€μ΄κ°€ ν•΄ μ£ΌλŠ” 건 할아버지가 λ‹€ μ’‹μ•„ν•΄.

    Noraego chumigo da joa. Hayuniga hae juneun geon harabeojiga da joahae.

    Singing, dancing, anything's great. Grandpa loves whatever you do for him.

    Harabeojineun piryohan ge eopseo. Pyeonjigo geurimigo Hayuniga mandeun geomyeon da gomapji.

    Grandpa doesn't need anything. A letter, a drawing, if you made it, I'll be grateful for it.

  9. A 그럼 λ…Έλž˜λ„ ν•˜κ³  νŽΈμ§€λ„ μ“Έκ²Œμš”. 근데 μ—„λ§ˆν•œν…ŒλŠ” λΉ„λ°€μ΄μ—μš”. μ—„λ§ˆλ„ 깜짝 λ†€λΌκ²Œ ν•  κ±°μ˜ˆμš”.

    Geureom noraedo hago pyeonjido sseulgeyo. Geunde eommahanteneun bimirieyo. Eommado kkamjjak nollage hal geoyeyo.

    Then I'll sing and write you a letter too. But it's a secret from Mom. I'm going to surprise her too.

  10. B μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 할아버지도 μ•„λ¬΄ν•œν…Œλ„ 말 μ•ˆ ν• κ²Œ. 무슨 λ…Έλž˜ ν•  κ±°μ•Ό?

    Arasseo. Harabeojido amuhantedo mal an halge. Museun norae hal geoya?

    Okay. Grandpa won't tell a soul either. What song are you going to sing?

  11. A 그것도 λΉ„λ°€μ΄μ—μš”! μž”μΉ˜ λ‚  κΈ°λŒ€ν•˜μ„Έμš”.

    Geugeotdo bimirieyo! Janchi nal gidaehaseyo.

    That's a secret too! You'll have to wait for the party.
