Day 15: Ferry to Ulleungdo at Seventy

At Sunja's (A) kitchen table, she and her old friend Okhee (B), both in their seventies, plan an autumn trip to Ulleungdo.

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.

  1. B μˆœμžμ•Ό, 우리 가을에 μšΈλ¦‰λ„ κ°€κΈ°λ‘œ ν•œ κ±° μ•ˆ μžŠμ—ˆμ§€? 이제 μ˜ˆμ•½ν•΄μ•Ό λ˜μ§€ μ•Šκ² λ‹ˆ?

    Sunjaya, uri gaeure Ulleungdo gagiro han geo an ijeotji? Ije yeyakaeya doeji ankenni?

    Sunja, you haven't forgotten we said we'd go to Ulleungdo this autumn, have you? Shouldn't we start booking soon?

  2. A 그럼, κΈ°μ–΅ν•˜μ§€. 근데 μ˜₯희야, λ‚˜ μ‹­ λ…„ 전에 ν•œ 번 κ°€ λ΄€μž–μ•„. λ°°κ°€ 정말 μ‹¬ν•˜κ²Œ 흔듀렸어.

    Geureom, gieokaji. Geunde Okhuiya, na sip nyeon jeone han beon ga bwatjana. Baega jeongmal simhage heundeullyeosseo.

    Of course I remember. But Okhee, I went once ten years ago, remember. That boat rocked something terrible.

  3. B κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ μ‹¬ν–ˆμ–΄? 큰 배도 흔듀렀?

    Geureoke simhaesseo? Keun baedo heundeullyeo?

    Was it that bad? Even a big boat rocks like that?

  4. A 말도 마. 멀미약도 μ†Œμš©μ—†μ—ˆμ–΄. μ„Έ μ‹œκ°„ λ‚΄λ‚΄ λˆ„μ›Œμ„œ κ°”μ–΄.

    Maldo ma. Meolmiyakdo soyongeopseosseo. Se sigan naenae nuwoseo gasseo.

    Don't get me started. The seasickness pills did nothing. I lay down the whole three hours.

  5. B λ„ˆν¬ μ˜κ°λ‹˜μ€? 같이 κ°€μ…¨μž–μ•„.

    Neohui yeonggamnimeun? Gachi gasyeotjana.

    What about your husband? He went with you, didn't he?

  6. A κ·Έ μ–‘λ°˜μ€ λ©€μ©‘ν–ˆμ§€. λ‚΄λ¦¬λ©΄μ„œ "λ°°κ°€ μ’€ 흔듀리더ꡰ" ν•˜κ³  μ›ƒμ—ˆμ–΄.

    Geu yangbaneun meoljjeonghaetji. Naerimyeonseo "baega jom heundeullideogun" hago useosseo.

    Oh, he was fine. He got off laughing, "Bit of a rocky crossing, that."

  7. B 아이고, λ‚˜λŠ” λ²„μŠ€λ§Œ 타도 λ©€λ―Έν•˜λŠ”λ° 큰일이넀.

    Aigo, naneun beoseuman tado meolmihaneunde keunirine.

    Oh dear, I get sick just riding the bus. That's a problem.

  8. A κ·Έλž˜λ„ κ²½μΉ˜λŠ” 정말 μ’‹μ•˜μ–΄. μ˜κ°λ„ "λ°”λ‹€κ°€ κ·Έλ¦Ό 같더ꡰ" κ·Έλž¬μ–΄.

    Geuraedo gyeongchineun jeongmal joasseo. Yeonggamdo "badaga geurim gatdeogun" geuraesseo.

    Still, the scenery was wonderful. He thought so too: "That sea was pretty as a picture."

  9. B 그럼 κ°€κΈ΄ κ°€μ•Όκ² λ‹€. μ„œμšΈμ—μ„œ λ°° νƒ€λŠ” λ°κΉŒμ§€λŠ” μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ°€?

    Geureom gagin gayagetda. Seoureseo bae taneun dekkajineun eotteoke ga?

    Then we'll have to go after all. How do we get from Seoul to where the boat leaves?

  10. A μ„œμšΈμ—­μ—μ„œ KTXλ₯Ό 타고 ν¬ν•­κΉŒμ§€ κ°€μ„œ, λ²„μŠ€λ‘œ 여객선 ν„°λ―Έλ„κΉŒμ§€ κ°€λ©΄ 돼.

    Seoullyeogeseo KTXreul tago Pohangkkaji gaseo, beoseuro yeogaekseon teomineolkkaji gamyeon dwae.

    We take the KTX from Seoul Station to Pohang, then a bus to the ferry terminal.

  11. B κ·Έκ±Έ ν•˜λ£¨μ— λ‹€ ν•˜λ©΄ λ„ˆλ¬΄ 무리야. 기차도 두 μ‹œκ°„ λ„˜κ²Œ νƒ€λŠ”λ° 배도 μ„Έ μ‹œκ°„μ΄λ‚˜ 타야 λ˜μž–μ•„.

    Geugeol harue da hamyeon neomu muriya. Gichado du sigan neomge taneunde baedo se siganina taya doejana.

    Doing all that in one day would be too much for us. The train alone is over two hours, and then we'd be on the boat for three.

  12. A κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 말인데, ν¬ν•­μ—μ„œ ν•˜λ£»λ°€ 자고 λ‹€μŒ λ‚  μ•„μΉ¨ λ°°λ₯Ό νƒ€μž.

    Geuraeseo marinde, Pohangeseo harutbam jago daeum nal achim baereul taja.

    That's what I was thinking. Let's spend a night in Pohang and take the morning boat the next day.

  13. B μ’‹λ‹€. ν¬ν•­μ—μ„œ νšŒλ„ λ¨Ήκ³ . 근데 날씨가 λ‚˜μ˜λ©΄ λ°°κ°€ μ•ˆ 뜰 λ•Œλ„ 많던데.

    Jota. Pohangeseo hoedo meokgo. Geunde nalssiga nappeumyeon baega an tteul ttaedo manteonde.

    Sounds good. We can have raw fish in Pohang too. But the boats often don't sail when the weather's bad, I hear.

  14. A λ§žμ•„. κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ 날씨뢀터 κΌ­ ν™•μΈν•˜κ³  μ˜ˆμ•½ν•˜μž. λ°”λžŒ λΆ€λŠ” 날은 무쑰건 ν”Όν•΄μ•Ό 돼.

    Maja. Geureonikka nalssibuteo kkok hwaginhago yeyakaja. Baram buneun nareun mujogeon pihaeya dwae.

    That's right. So let's check the weather first and then book. We have to avoid windy days, no matter what.

  15. B ν‘œλŠ” 우리 μ†λ…€ν•œν…Œ 뢀탁해 놨어. κ±”κ°€ 벌써 μšΈλ¦‰λ„ μ—¬ν–‰ 광고도 보내 쀬어. μ—¬κΈ° 봐.

    Pyoneun uri sonnyeohante butakae nwasseo. Gyaega beolsseo Ulleungdo yeohaeng gwanggodo bonae jwosseo. Yeogi bwa.

    I've already asked my granddaughter to sort out the tickets. She's even sent me an advert for Ulleungdo. Look.

  16. A μ–΄λ”” 보자. "μšΈλ¦‰λ„λŠ” κ²½μΉ˜λ„ μ•„λ¦„λ‹΅κ±°λ‹ˆμ™€ μ˜€μ§•μ–΄μ™€ ν˜Έλ°•μ—Ώλ„ 유λͺ…ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€." λ©€λ―Έ μ–˜κΈ°λŠ” ν•œλ§ˆλ””λ„ μ—†λ„€.

    Eodi boja. "Ulleungdoneun gyeongchido areumdapgeoniwa ojingeowa hobagyeotdo yumyeonghamnida." Meolmi yaegineun hanmadido eomne.

    Let's see. "Ulleungdo is famous not only for its beautiful scenery but also for its squid and pumpkin taffy." Not a word about seasickness.
