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 어이쿠, 이거 큰일이다. 지갑이 없다.

Eoiku, igeo keunirida. Jigabi eopda.

Oh dear, this is bad. My wallet's gone.
B 네? 할아버지, 가방 안에도 없으세요?

Ne? Harabeoji, gabang anedo eopseuseyo?

What? Grandpa, isn't it in your bag either?
A 없다. 아까 휴게소에서 호두과자 살 때 계산대에 두고 온 것 같다.

Eopda. Akka hyugesoeseo hodugwaja sal ttae gyesandaee dugo on geot gatda.

It's not. I think I left it on the counter when I bought walnut cakes at the rest stop.
B 제가 바로 돌아갈게요. 다음 출구로 나가서 차를 돌리면 삼십 분쯤 걸려요.

Jega baro doragalgeyo. Daeum chulguro nagaseo chareul dollimyeon samsip bunjjeum geollyeoyo.

I'll go back right away. If I take the next exit and turn around, it'll take about thirty minutes.
A 됐다. 급하게 운전하면 더 위험하다. 돈은 또 번다.

Dwaetda. Geupage unjeonhamyeon deo wiheomhada. Doneun tto beonda.

Forget it. Driving in a hurry is more dangerous. Money can always be earned again.
B 그래도 지갑에 카드랑 신분증도 있어요.

Geuraedo jigabe kadeurang sinbunjeungdo isseoyo.

But your cards and ID are in that wallet too.
A 카드는 지금 전화해서 분실 신고한다. 신분증만 좀 걱정이다.

Kadeuneun jigeum jeonhwahaeseo bunsil singohanda. Sinbunjeungman jom geokjeongida.

I'll call now and report the cards lost. It's only the ID I'm a bit worried about.
B 그럼 제가 휴게소에 전화해 볼게요. 직원이 보관하고 있을 수도 있어요.

Geureom jega hyugesoe jeonhwahae bolgeyo. Jigwoni bogwanhago isseul sudo isseoyo.

Then I'll call the rest stop. The staff might be keeping it for you.
A 그래, 고맙다. 너도 너무 걱정하지 마. 할아버지는 괜찮다.

Geurae, gomapda. Neodo neomu geokjeonghaji ma. Harabeojineun gwaenchanta.

All right, thank you. Don't you worry too much either. Grandpa's fine.
B 할아버지! 휴게소 직원분이 지갑을 찾아 주셨어요. 집으로 택배로 보내 주시기로 했어요.

Harabeoji! Hyugeso jigwonbuni jigabeul chaja jusyeosseoyo. Jibeuro taekbaero bonae jusigiro haesseoyo.

Grandpa! A staff member at the rest stop found your wallet. They've agreed to send it to the house by courier.
A 거 봐. 세상에는 아직 좋은 사람이 많다.

Geo bwa. Sesangeneun ajik joeun sarami manta.

See? There are still lots of good people in the world.
