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 오늘 본 집 세 군데 다 별로였어.

Oneul bon jip se gunde da byeolloyeosseo.

All three flats we saw today were no good.
A 그러니까. 전세는 너무 비싸고, 싼 데는 너무 시끄럽고.

Geureonikka. Jeonseneun neomu bissago, ssan deneun neomu sikkeureopgo.

I know. The jeonse flats cost a fortune, and the cheap ones are too noisy.
C 저, 실례지만 혹시 집 구하세요?

Jeo, sillyejiman hoksi jip guhaseyo?

Excuse me, but are you looking for a place?
A 네? 저희요?

Ne? Jeohuiyo?

Sorry? Us?
C 네. 얘기가 들려서요. 마침 이 건물 위층이 비었거든요.

Ne. Yaegiga deullyeoseoyo. Machim i geonmul wicheungi bieotgeodeunyo.

Yes. I couldn't help overhearing. As it happens, the flat upstairs in this building has just come free.
B 위층이요? 이 식당 바로 위에요?

Wicheungiyo? I sikdang baro wieyo?

Upstairs? Right above this restaurant?
C 네, 방 두 개짜리예요. 전세로 내놓으려고 해요.

Ne, bang du gaejjariyeyo. Jeonsero naenoeuryeogo haeyo.

Yes, it's a two-bedroom. I'm planning to let it on jeonse.
A 전세요? 혹시 얼마예요?

Jeonseyo? Hoksi eolmayeyo?

Jeonse? How much, if you don't mind my asking?
C 주변보다 조금 싸게 할 거예요. 깨끗하게 써 주시는 만큼 저도 잘해 드릴게요.

Jubyeonboda jogeum ssage hal geoyeyo. Kkaekkeutage sseo jusineun mankeum jeodo jalhae deurilgeyo.

A bit cheaper than around here. If you look after the place, I'll look after you.
B 저희 둘 다 조용하고 깔끔해요! 혹시 지금 볼 수 있을까요?

Jeohui dul da joyonghago kkalkkeumhaeyo! Hoksi jigeum bol su isseulkkayo?

We're both quiet and tidy! Could we see it now, by any chance?
C 지금요? 네, 손님 없을 때 잠깐 보여 드릴게요. 따라오세요.

Jigeumyo? Ne, sonnim eopseul ttae jamkkan boyeo deurilgeyo. Ttaraoseyo.

Now? Sure, I'll show you quickly while there are no customers. Follow me.
