Day 55: Bus Arrival App for Grandma

At a bus stop, Minseo (A) sits down with her grandmother (B) to set up a bus app on her phone, the day after the grandmother had trouble with the bus.

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.

  1. A ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆ, μ–΄μ œ λ²„μŠ€ λ•Œλ¬Έμ— κ³ μƒν•˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”?

    Halmeoni, eoje beoseu ttaemune gosaenghasyeosseoyo?

    Grandma, did you have a hard time with the bus yesterday?

  2. B 말도 마. 병원 κ°„λ‹€κ³  μ •λ₯˜μž₯μ—μ„œ ν•œ μ‹œκ°„μ΄λ‚˜ κΈ°λ‹€λ Έμ–΄. 근데 κΈ‰ν•˜κ²Œ 탄 게 λ‹€λ₯Έ λ²„μŠ€μ˜€μ–΄.

    Maldo ma. Byeongwon gandago jeongnyujangeseo han siganina gidaryeosseo. Geunde geupage tan ge dareun beoseuyeosseo.

    Don't get me started. I waited a whole hour at the stop to get to the hospital. And then the bus I jumped on in a hurry was the wrong one.

  3. A κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 이 μ•± κΉ”μ•„ λ“œλ¦¬λ €κ³ μš”. λ²„μŠ€ 도착 μ‹œκ°„μ΄ λ‹€ λ‚˜μ™€μš”.

    Geuraeseo i aep kkara deuriryeogoyo. Beoseu dochak sigani da nawayo.

    That's why I'm going to put this app on your phone. It shows when every bus will arrive.

  4. B 그런 κ±Έ λ‚΄κ°€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ ν•΄. λˆˆλ„ 잘 μ•ˆ λ³΄μ΄λŠ”λ°.

    Geureon geol naega eotteoke hae. Nundo jal an boineunde.

    How am I supposed to use something like that? My eyes aren't what they were.

  5. A 어렡지 μ•Šμ•„μš”. 여기에 λ²„μŠ€ 번호λ₯Ό λˆ„λ₯΄μ„Έμš”. 그럼 '3λΆ„ ν›„ 도착' μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ λ‚˜μ™€μš”.

    Eoryeopji anayo. Yeogie beoseu beonhoreul nureuseyo. Geureom '3bun hu dochak' ireoke nawayo.

    It's not hard. Press the bus number here. Then it says something like 'arriving in 3 minutes.'

  6. B μ˜†μ§‘ ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆλ„ μ •λ₯˜μž₯μ—μ„œ νœ΄λŒ€ν°μ„ 자꾸 보던데. μ΄κ±°μ˜€κ΅¬λ‚˜.

    Yeopjip halmeonido jeongnyujangeseo hyudaeponeul jakku bodeonde. Igeoyeotguna.

    The lady next door keeps looking at her phone at the bus stop, too. So this is what it was.

  7. A λ§žμ•„μš”. 이제 μΆ”μš΄λ° λ°–μ—μ„œ 였래 기닀리지 λ§ˆμ„Έμš”.

    Majayo. Ije chuunde bakkeseo orae gidariji maseyo.

    That's right. Now you won't have to wait outside for ages in the cold.

  8. B μ–΄λ”” 보자. 7016번... μ‚Ό λΆ„ ν›„ 도착? μ§„μ§œ μ˜€λ‚˜?

    Eodi boja. 7016beon... sam bun hu dochak? Jinjja ona?

    Let me see. The 7016... arriving in three minutes? Is it really coming?

  9. A μ €κΈ° λ³΄μ„Έμš”, ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆ! μ§„μ§œ μ™”μ–΄μš”.

    Jeogi boseyo, halmeoni! Jinjja wasseoyo.

    Look over there, Grandma! It really came.

  10. B μ–΄λ¨Έ, μ‹ κΈ°ν•˜λ„€. 이제 λ‚˜λ„ μ˜†μ§‘ ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆμ²˜λŸΌ λ˜‘λ˜‘ν•œ ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Eomeo, singihane. Ije nado yeopjip halmeonicheoreom ttokttokan halmeonida.

    My, how amazing. Now I'm a smart grandma too, just like the lady next door.
