Day 142: Anchors for the Morning School Broadcast

In an empty classroom after school, fifth graders Siwoo (A) and Chaewon (B) rehearse as co-anchors for the next day's morning school broadcast.

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.

    Nalssibuteo halge. "Daeumeun nalssiimnida. Gisangcheonge uihamyeon naeireun jeonguge biga ogetseumnida."

    I'll start with the weather. "And now, the weather. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, it will rain across the country tomorrow."

  4. A ν‘Έν•˜ν•˜! λ„ˆ λͺ©μ†Œλ¦¬ μ™œ 그래? λ‰΄μŠ€ 액컀 흉내 λ‚΄λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό?

    Utji jom ma. Nan daebondaero ilgeosseul ppuniya. Bangsongeun bareumirang eogyangi saengmyeongirago.

    Stop laughing. I'm just reading the script. In broadcasting, pronunciation and intonation are everything.

    Nuga, eonje, eodiseo, mwol haenneunji neoeoyaji. Geurigo ne saenggak malgo sasilman jeonhaneun geoya.

    You have to say who did what, when and where. And you only report the facts, not what you think.

    Okei. "Jinan geumyoil, uri hakgyo undongjang yeope sae noriteoga muneul yeoreotseumnida."

    Okay. "Last Friday, a new playground opened next to our school's sports field."

    "Haksaenghoee uihamyeon mikkeureomteureun swineun siganeman tal su itseumnida. Jeohuineun sasireul jeonhal ttareumimnida."

    "According to the student council, the slide may only be used during break time. We merely report the facts."

  13. B λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰ 말은 μ™œ λ„£μ—ˆμ–΄? μ’€ μ–΄μƒ‰ν•˜κΈ΄ ν•œλ°, ν•˜ν•˜, 웃기닀.

    Majimak mareun wae neoeosseo? Jom eosaekagin hande, haha, utgida.

    Why did you add that last bit? It's a bit awkward, but ha ha, it's funny.

    They don't. But it's funny, so let's use it for the sign-off. Only let's practise once more. Seriously this time, and no laughing till the end.
