Day 175 of 185

Day 175: A High School for Animation

At home in the evening, fifteen-year-old Jiho (A) tells his father (B) he has something important to say about high school.

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.

    Mwonde geureoke simgakae? Seongjeokpyo nawasseo?

    What's so serious? Did your report card come out?

  3. A 그게 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ... λ‚˜ 일반고 말고 μ• λ‹ˆλ©”μ΄μ…˜ 고등학ꡐ에 κ°€κ³  μ‹Άμ–΄.

    Geuge anira... na ilbango malgo aenimeisyeon godeunghakgyoe gago sipeo.

    It's not that... I want to go to an animation high school instead of a regular one.

  4. B μ• λ‹ˆλ©”μ΄μ…˜ 고등학ꡐ? 그런 데가 μžˆμ–΄?

    Aenimeisyeon godeunghakgyo? Geureon dega isseo?

    An animation high school? There's such a thing?

  5. A 응, νŠΉμ„±ν™”κ³ μ•Ό. κ±°κΈ°μ„  κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄λž‘ μ˜μƒ λ§Œλ“œλŠ” κ±Έ 3λ…„ λ™μ•ˆ μ œλŒ€λ‘œ 배울 수 μžˆμ–΄.

    Eung, teukseonghwagoya. Geogiseon geurimirang yeongsang mandeuneun geol 3nyeon dongan jedaero baeul su isseo.

    Yeah, it's a specialised high school. You can properly learn drawing and making videos there for three years.

  6. B λ„ˆ μš”μ¦˜ ν•˜λ£¨ 쒅일 그림만 κ·Έλ € λŒ€λ”λ‹ˆ κ²°κ΅­ κ·Έ μ–˜κΈ°κ΅¬λ‚˜.

    Neo yojeum haru jongil geurimman geuryeo daedeoni gyeolguk geu yaegiguna.

    You've been drawing nonstop all day lately, and now it comes to this.

  7. A κ·Έλƒ₯ λ…ΈλŠ” κ±° μ•„λ‹ˆμ•Ό. 그림을 그리닀 λ³΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ λ‚΄κ°€ 뭘 μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ”μ§€ 이제 μ•Œκ² μ–΄.

    Geunyang noneun geo aniya. Geurimeul geurida bonikka naega mwol joahaneunji ije algesseo.

    I'm not just messing around. Drawing so much, I've finally figured out what I like.

  8. B μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒλ§Œ 보고 μ§„λ‘œλ₯Ό μ •ν•˜λ©΄ μ•ˆ 돼. κ³΅λΆ€λŠ” μ–΄λ–‘ν•˜κ³ ? λŒ€ν•™μ€?

    Joahaneun geonman bogo jilloreul jeonghamyeon an dwae. Gongbuneun eotteokago? Daehageun?

    You can't choose your future just because you like something. What about your studies? And university?

  9. A κ±°κΈ°μ„œλ„ λŒ€ν•™ 갈 수 μžˆμ–΄. μ‘Έμ—…ν•˜κ³  λ°”λ‘œ νšŒμ‚¬μ— λ“€μ–΄κ°€λŠ” 선배듀도 λ§ŽλŒ€.

    Geogiseodo daehak gal su isseo. Joreopago baro hoesae deureoganeun seonbaedeuldo mantae.

    You can go to university from there too. And they say lots of graduates go straight into companies.

  10. B 휴... 학원비 λŒ€λŠλΌ μ—„λ§ˆκ°€ μ–Όλ§ˆλ‚˜ κ³ μƒν•˜λŠ”μ§€ μ•Œμ§€?

    Hyu... hagwonbi daeneura eommaga eolmana gosaenghaneunji alji?

    Sigh... You know how hard your mom works to pay for your academy fees, right?

  11. A μ•Œμ•„. κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ 더 λ§ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό. μ‹«μ–΄ν•˜λŠ” μˆ˜ν•™ 학원에 돈 μ“°λŠ” κ±° μ•„κΉμž–μ•„.

    Ara. Geureonikka deo malhaneun geoya. Sireohaneun suhak hagwone don sseuneun geo akkapjana.

    I know. That's exactly why I'm telling you. It's a waste to spend money on a maths academy I hate.

  12. B λ„ˆ κ·Έ 말 μ—„λ§ˆ μ•žμ—μ„œλŠ” μ ˆλŒ€ ν•˜μ§€ 마라.

    Neo geu mal eomma apeseoneun jeoldae haji mara.

    Don't you ever say that in front of your mom.

  13. A μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. 근데 μ•„λΉ  생각은 μ–΄λ•Œ? 그게 μ§„μ§œ κΆκΈˆν•΄.

    Arasseo. Geunde appa saenggageun eottae? Geuge jinjja gunggeumhae.

    Okay. But what do you think, Dad? That's what I really want to know.

  14. B μ†”μ§νžˆ κ±°κΈ°μ„œ 뭘 λ°°μš°λŠ”μ§€λ„ λͺ¨λ₯΄λŠ”λ° μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ λŒ€λ‹΅ν•΄.

    Soljiki geogiseo mwol baeuneunjido moreuneunde eotteoke daedapae.

    Honestly, how can I answer when I don't even know what they learn there?

  15. A λ‹€μŒ 달에 학ꡐλ₯Ό 직접 λ³Ό 수 μžˆλŠ” 날이 μžˆλŠ”λ°, ν•™λΆ€λͺ¨λ„ 같이 와도 λœλŒ€. 같이 κ°€ 보면 μ•ˆ 돼?

    Daeum dare hakgyoreul jikjeop bol su inneun nari inneunde, hakbumodo gachi wado doendae. Gachi ga bomyeon an dwae?

    Next month there's a day when you can see the school for yourself, and they say parents can come too. Can't we go together?

  16. B μ’‹μ•„, 같이 κ°€ 보자. κ°€μ„œ 보고 μ•„λ‹ˆλ‹€ μ‹ΆμœΌλ©΄ λ‹€μ‹œ μ–˜κΈ°ν•˜λŠ” κ±°λ‹€.

    Joa, gachi ga boja. Gaseo bogo anida sipeumyeon dasi yaegihaneun geoda.

    All right, let's go. But if we see it and it doesn't feel right, we talk again.

  17. A 응! κ³ λ§ˆμ›Œ, μ•„λΉ . 근데 μ—„λ§ˆν•œν…ŒλŠ” λˆ„κ°€ 말해?

    Eung! Gomawo, appa. Geunde eommahanteneun nuga malhae?

    Yes! Thanks, Dad. But who's going to tell Mom?

  18. B 그건... μ’€ 더 생각해 보자.

    Geugeon... jom deo saenggakae boja.

    That... let's think about that a bit more.
