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.

    Annyeonghaseyo, sajangnim. Beolsseo ireonasyeosseoyo? Ajik yeoseot sido an dwaenneundeyo.

    Good morning. You're up already? It's not even six yet.

  2. A μ•„, μΌμ–΄λ‚˜μ…¨μ–΄μš”? μ €λŠ” 맀일 μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ λ§ˆλ‹Ήμ„ μ“Έλ©° ν•˜λ£¨λ₯Ό μ‹œμž‘ν•΄μš”.

    A, ireonasyeosseoyo? Jeoneun maeil ireoke madangeul sseulmyeo harureul sijakaeyo.

    Oh, you're awake? I start every day like this, sweeping the courtyard.

  3. B μƒˆλ²½ 곡기가 정말 μƒμΎŒν•˜λ„€μš”. 어젯밀에 λ°©λ°”λ‹₯이 λ”°λœ»ν•΄μ„œ ν‘Ή μž€μ–΄μš”.

    Saebyeok gonggiga jeongmal sangkwaehaneyo. Eojetbame bangbadagi ttatteutaeseo puk jasseoyo.

    The early morning air is so fresh. The floor in my room was so warm last night that I slept really well.

  4. A μ˜¨λŒμ΄λΌμ„œ κ·Έλž˜μš”. μ €λŠ” 전톡 λ°©μ‹λŒ€λ‘œ 아ꢁ이에 직접 λΆˆμ„ λ•Œμš”.

    Ondoriraseo geuraeyo. Jeoneun jeontong bangsikdaero agungie jikjeop bureul ttaeyo.

    That's the ondol. I still light the fire under the floor myself, the traditional way.

  5. B νž˜λ“œμ‹œμ§€ μ•Šμ•„μš”? 보일러둜 λ°”κΎΈμ‹œλ©΄ 훨씬 νŽΈν•˜μ‹€ ν…λ°μš”.

    Himdeusiji anayo? Boilleoro bakkusimyeon hwolssin pyeonhasil tendeyo.

    Isn't that hard work? It'd be much easier if you switched to a boiler.

  6. A νŽΈν•˜κΈ°λŠ” ν•˜μ£ . 그런데 λ‚˜λ¬΄λ‘œ 데운 방은 μ˜¨κΈ°κ°€ μ˜€λž˜κ°€μš”. μ†λ‹˜λ“€λ„ κ·Έκ±Έ μ’‹μ•„ν•˜μ‹œκ³ μš”.

    Pyeonhagineun hajyo. Geureonde namuro deun bangeun ongiga oraegayo. Sonnimdeuldo geugeol joahasigoyo.

    It would be easier. But a room heated with wood stays warm for a long time. And guests love that.

  7. B 방문도 μ’…μ΄λ‘œ λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμ–΄μ„œ μ‹ κΈ°ν–ˆμ–΄μš”. κ²¨μšΈμ— μΆ₯지 μ•Šμ•„μš”?

    Bangmundo jongiro doeeo isseoseo singihaesseoyo. Gyeoure chupji anayo?

    I was surprised the doors are made of paper too. Isn't it cold in winter?

  8. A ν•œμ§€λŠ” λ°”λžŒμ€ 막아 μ£Όλ©΄μ„œ μˆ¨μ„ μ‰¬μ–΄μš”. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 여름엔 μ‹œμ›ν•˜κ³  κ²¨μšΈμ—” 생각보닀 λ”°λœ»ν•΄μš”.

    Hanjineun barameun maga jumyeonseo sumeul swieoyo. Geuraeseo yeoreumen siwonhago gyeouren saenggakboda ttatteutaeyo.

    Hanji paper keeps the wind out but still breathes. So it's cool in summer and warmer than you'd think in winter.

  9. B 이 λ§ˆλ£¨λž‘ κΈ°λ‘₯ 색깔도 정말 λ©‹μžˆμ–΄μš”. μΌλΆ€λŸ¬ μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ μΉ ν•˜μ‹  κ±°μ˜ˆμš”?

    I marurang gidung saekkkaldo jeongmal meosisseoyo. Ilbureo ireoke chilhasin geoyeyo?

    The colour of this wooden floor and the pillars is beautiful too. Did you paint them like this on purpose?

  10. A μ•„λ‹ˆμš”, μ›λž˜ μƒ‰μ΄μ—μš”. λ‚˜λ¬΄λŠ” 였래될수둝 색이 κΉŠμ–΄μ§€κ±°λ“ μš”. 이 집이 저보닀 λ‚˜μ΄κ°€ λ§Žμ•„μš”.

    Aniyo, wollae saegieyo. Namuneun oraedoelsurok saegi gipeojigeodeunyo. I jibi jeoboda naiga manayo.

    No, that's the natural colour. The older wood gets, the deeper its colour. This house is older than I am.

  11. B 그럼 μ†μ§ˆν•˜μ‹œλŠ” 것도 보톡 일이 μ•„λ‹ˆκ² λ„€μš”.

    Geureom sonjilhasineun geotdo botong iri anigenneyo.

    Then looking after it must be no small job.

  12. A 손이 많이 κ°€μ£ . κ·Έλž˜λ„ μ†λ‹˜λ“€μ΄ 사진을 찍으며 μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” κ±Έ 보면 힘이 λ‚˜μš”.

    Soni mani gajyo. Geuraedo sonnimdeuri sajineul jjigeumyeo joahaneun geol bomyeon himi nayo.

    It takes a lot of work. But when I see guests taking photos and enjoying it, it keeps me going.

  13. B 사μž₯λ‹˜, ν˜Ήμ‹œ μ•„μΉ¨ μ€€λΉ„ν•˜μ‹œλŠ” κ±° μ œκ°€ μ’€ 도와 λ“œλ €λ„ λ κΉŒμš”?

    Sajangnim, hoksi achim junbihasineun geo jega jom dowa deuryeodo doelkkayo?

    Would it be all right if I helped you make breakfast?

  14. A μ†λ‹˜ν•œν…Œ 일을 μ‹œν‚€λ©΄ μ œκ°€ λ―Έμ•ˆν•˜μ£ .

    Sonnimhante ireul sikimyeon jega mianhajyo.

    I'd feel bad putting a guest to work.

  15. B μ œκ°€ ν•΄ 보고 μ‹Άμ–΄μ„œ κ·Έλž˜μš”. ν•œμ˜₯μ—μ„œ 아침을 λ§Œλ“œλŠ” 건 μ²˜μŒμ΄κ±°λ“ μš”.

    Jega hae bogo sipeoseo geuraeyo. Hanogeseo achimeul mandeuneun geon cheoeumigeodeunyo.

    I really want to. I've never made breakfast in a hanok before.

  16. A 그럼 같이 ν•΄μš”. μ €κΈ° ν…ƒλ°­μ—μ„œ 상좔 μ’€ λ”° μ€„λž˜μš”? μ €λŠ” κ·Έλ™μ•ˆ 된μž₯찌개λ₯Ό λ“μΌκ²Œμš”.

    Geureom gachi haeyo. Jeogi teotbateseo sangchu jom tta jullaeyo? Jeoneun geudongan doenjangjjigaereul kkeurilgeyo.

    Then let's do it together. Could you pick some lettuce from the vegetable patch over there? I'll make the doenjang stew in the meantime.
