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.

    Eonnineun ibaek myeongina bulleotjana. Neoman jakge hamyeon saramdeuri isanghage saenggakae.

    Still, your sister invited two hundred people. If you're the only one with a small wedding, people will think it's strange.
