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.

    I'm sorry. Prices vary by day of the week and by menu. Friday evenings in December are our most expensive slot.

    Soljiki jeohui yesaneun 1indang oman wonieyo. Dareun hoteldo arabogo itgoyo.

    Geureosimyeon naljjareul bakkusineun geon eotteosimnikka? Iryoil jeonyeogimyeon gagyeogi mani naeryeogamnida.

    In that case, how about changing the date? On a Sunday evening, the price comes down a lot.

  10. A μΌμš”μΌμ΄μš”? 직원듀이 μ›”μš”μΌ 좜근 λ•Œλ¬Έμ— μ‹«μ–΄ν•  ν…λ°μš”.

    Can't you go down to 50,000? It is eighty people, after all.

  13. B 음... 그럼 와인 λŒ€μ‹  음료 λ¬΄μ œν•œμœΌλ‘œ λ°”κΎΈμ‹œλ©΄ 였만 원에 맞좰 λ“œλ¦΄ 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Eum... geureom wain daesin eumnyo mujehaneuro bakkusimyeon oman wone matchwo deuril su itseumnida.

    Joayo. Geurigo iryoiren keun hori bieo isseul tenikka geujjogeuro eopgeureideuhae jusil su isseoyo?

    Deal. And since the big hall will be empty on a Sunday, could you upgrade us to that?

  15. B ν•˜ν•˜, ν˜‘μƒμ„ μž˜ν•˜μ‹œλ„€μš”. μ’‹μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μΌμš”μΌμ΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ κ·Έλžœλ“œν™€λ„ μΆ”κ°€ μš”κΈˆ 없이 μ“°μ‹€ 수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Haha, hyeopsangeul jalhasineyo. Joseumnida. Iryoirinikka geuraendeuholdo chuga yogeum eopsi sseusil su itseumnida.

    Ha ha, you drive a hard bargain. Very well. Since it's a Sunday, you can have the Grand Hall at no extra charge.

  16. A μ •λ§μš”? 이 정도면 νšŒμ‚¬μ—μ„œ μ €ν•œν…Œ 상이라도 μ€˜μ•Όκ² λŠ”λ°μš”.
