One evening, Mr. Choi (A), who lives downstairs, knocks on the door of Jaehyun (B), a young man in the flat above whom he has never met.

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.

    Do you run your washing machine at night, by any chance? We hear it loud and clear around two in the morning.

    Geureosigunyo. Geunde jeohui jibe baegil doen agiga inneunde, geu sorie maeil kkaeyo.

    I see. The thing is, we have a baby who's just three months old, and the noise wakes the baby every night.

    Then from now on, I'll run it before ten at night so the baby doesn't wake up.

  9. A κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ ν•΄ μ£Όμ‹œλ©΄ 정말 고맙죠.

    Thank you. Now maybe our baby can get some proper sleep, and so can we.
