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.

    Eunji and I were supposed to close together, but she went home early because she wasn't feeling well, so I closed by myself.

    Ne. Ahop sijjeum sonnimdeuri hankkeobeone mollineun barame gyesandae ape juri gilge seotseumnida.

    Yes. Around nine, a lot of customers came in all at once, and there was a long line at the till.

  7. A κ·Έ 와쀑에 κ΅ν™˜ν•˜κ³  ν™˜λΆˆν•˜λŠ” μ†λ‹˜λ„ μžˆμ—ˆκ³ μš”?

    Geu wajunge gyohwanhago hwanbulhaneun sonnimdo isseotgoyo?

    And there were customers exchanging and returning things in the middle of all that?

  8. B λ„€, μ„Έ λΆ„ κ³„μ…¨μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그쀑 ν•œ 뢄은 ν˜„κΈˆμœΌλ‘œ ν™˜λΆˆν•΄ λ“œλ ΈλŠ”λ°, μ˜μˆ˜μ¦μ„ λ”°λ‘œ λͺ» μ±™κ²ΌμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Yes, there were three. I gave one of them a cash refund, but I didn't manage to keep the receipt aside.

  9. A μ•„, 그럼 κ±°κΈ°μ„œ 차이가 났을 μˆ˜λ„ μžˆκ² λ„€μš”. μ–Όλ§ˆμ§œλ¦¬μ˜€λŠ”μ§€ κΈ°μ–΅λ‚˜μš”?

    A, geureom geogiseo chaiga nasseul sudo itgenneyo. Eolmajjariyeonneunji gieongnayo?

    Ah, then that's probably where the difference came from. Do you remember how much it was?

  10. B μ•„λ§ˆ 3만 μ›μ§œλ¦¬ λ‹ˆνŠΈμ˜€μ„ κ²λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Ama 3man wonjjari niteuyeosseul geomnida.

    I think it was a 30,000-won sweater.

    Geureom Sujin ssi jalmosi anira seukejul munjeneyo. Honja magamhage han geon nae silsuyeyo.

    Then it's not your fault. It's a scheduling problem. Leaving you to close alone was my mistake.

  12. B μ•„λ‹™λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ œκ°€ μ’€ 더 κΌΌκΌΌν•˜κ²Œ ν™•μΈν–ˆμ–΄μ•Ό ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Bappeulsurok du beon hwaginhaeya haneun geon majayo. Geuraedo sarameun bappeulsurok silsudo manajineun geoyeyo.

    It's true that the busier it gets, the more you need to double-check. But the busier people are, the more mistakes they make too.

  14. B 그럼 μ•žμœΌλ‘œλŠ” μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ ν• κΉŒμš”?

    Ijebuteo magameun mujogeon du myeongi hadorok seukejureul bakkulgeyo. Hwanbul yeongsujeungeun ttaro bongtue moeugoyo.

    From now on, I'll change the schedule so that two people always close. And we'll keep refund receipts in a separate envelope.

  16. B μ•Œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ˜€λŠ˜λΆ€ν„° κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ ν•˜κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ―Ώμ–΄ μ£Όμ…”μ„œ κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
