   Bappeugin. Neo geogi gaseo yorihago sipdamyeo? Jinjja gal saenggagiya?

   B 비자는 생각보다 금방 나와. 문제는 월세야. 방 하나에 한 달에 백오십만 원은 생각해야 돼.

   Bijaneun saenggakboda geumbang nawa. Munjeneun wolseya. Bang hanae han dare baegosimman woneun saenggakaeya dwae.

   The visa comes through faster than you'd think. The problem's rent. You need to budget 1.5 million won a month for one room.

   Geugeotdo ssan pyeoniya. Geogiseon doni mul saedeusi naga. Keopi han jando chilcheon woniya.

   That's on the cheap side. Money pours out there like water from a leak. Even a coffee is seven thousand won.

   A 주방 일은 어때요? 한국이랑 많이 달라요?

   Jubang ireun eottaeyo? Hangugirang mani dallayo?

   B 하루에 열 시간씩 서 있는 건 똑같아. 근데 주방에서 영어를 안 쓸래야 안 쓸 수가 없어.

   Harue yeol siganssik seo inneun geon ttokgata. Geunde jubangeseo Yeongeoreul an sseullaeya an sseul suga eopseo.

   Standing ten hours a day is the same. But in the kitchen, there's no way to avoid using English.

    Cheoeumen da geurae. Nado cheot daren syepeu mareul aradeureullaeya aradeureul suga eopseosseo.

    Everyone's like that at first. In my first month, I couldn't understand the chef no matter how hard I tried.

    Line 10

    A 그럼 어떻게 버티셨어요?

    B 주방에서 쓰는 말은 정해져 있거든. 매일 듣다 보니까 한 달쯤 지나서 귀가 트이더라.

    Jubangeseo sseuneun mareun jeonghaejyeo itgeodeun. Maeil deutda bonikka han daljjeum jinaseo gwiga teuideora.

    Kitchen talk is always the same words. Hearing them every day, after about a month my ears just opened up.

    You're amazing. Do you think I can hang in there like you?

    Line 13

    B 넌 요리 실력은 나보다 낫잖아. 아, 내가 일하던 식당 사장님한테 너 소개해 줄까?

    Neon yori sillyeogeun naboda natjana. A, naega ilhadeon sikdang sajangnimhante neo sogaehae julkka?

    Your cooking's better than mine, isn't it? Oh, want me to introduce you to the owner of the restaurant I worked at?
