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.

B 엄마, 현관에 이 택배 상자들 다 뭐야?

Eomma, hyeongwane i taekbae sangjadeul da mwoya?

Mom, what are all these parcels by the door?
A 아, 그거... 별거 아니야. 딱 필요한 것만 샀어.

A, geugeo... byeolgeo aniya. Ttak piryohan geonman sasseo.

Oh, those... It's nothing. I only bought exactly what I needed.
B 필요한 거? 상자가 열 개가 넘는데? 또 라이브 방송 봤지?

Piryohan geo? Sangjaga yeol gaega neomneunde? Tto raibeu bangsong bwatji?

What you needed? There are more than ten boxes! You've been watching live shopping again, haven't you?
A 그냥 저녁마다 구경하다가 몇 개 산 거야. 다 진짜 필요한 것뿐이야.

Geunyang jeonyeongmada gugyeonghadaga myeot gae san geoya. Da jinjja piryohan geotppuniya.

I was just browsing in the evenings and picked up a few things. It's all stuff I really need.
B 프라이팬이 세 개인데 이것도 다 필요한 거야?

Peuraipaeni se gaeinde igeotdo da piryohan geoya?

There are three frying pans. Do you really need all of those too?
A 하나는 네 거고, 하나는 이모 거야. 이모도 사고 싶어 했거든.

Hananeun ne geogo, hananeun imo geoya. Imodo sago sipeo haetgeodeun.

One's for you, and one's for your aunt. She wanted one too.
B 그럼 이 안마기는? 이건 엄마 거지?

Geureom i anmagineun? Igeon eomma geoji?

And this massager? This one's yours, right?
A 그건 아빠 거. 아빠가 어깨가 아파서 계속 갖고 싶어 했어.

Geugeon appa geo. Appaga eokkaega apaseo gyesok gatgo sipeo haesseo.

That's for your dad. His shoulders hurt, so he's been wanting one for ages.
B 엄마, 방송에서 '오늘만 이 가격!' 하니까 자꾸 사게 되는 거야.

Eomma, bangsongeseo 'oneulman i gagyeok!' Hanikka jakku sage doeneun geoya.

Mom, they keep saying 'Today only, this price!' on those shows, and that's why you keep buying.
A 알았어, 알았어. 이번 주부터는 진짜 구경만 할게.

Arasseo, arasseo. Ibeon jubuteoneun jinjja gugyeongman halge.

Okay, okay. From this week on, I'll really just watch.
B 그리고 사고 싶은 게 있으면 나한테 먼저 물어봐. 알았지?

Geurigo sago sipeun ge isseumyeon nahante meonjeo mureobwa. Aratji?

And if there's something you want to buy, ask me first. Got it?
A 그래. 근데... 내일 밤에 김치냉장고 방송하는데, 구경만 해도 되지?

Geurae. Geunde... naeil bame gimchinaengjanggo bangsonghaneunde, gugyeongman haedo doeji?

All right. But... there's a kimchi fridge on the show tomorrow night. It's okay if I just watch, right?
