Day 2: Gochujang Parcel to New York
At a post office counter, Kyunghee (A), whose son lives in New York, brings a parcel to Yuna (B), a young clerk.
How to study this lesson 4 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Gochujang I made myself, and dried anchovies. But the news said the rules for food parcels have changed, so I'm a bit worried.

Yes, from this month the rules for food going to the US are stricter. The anchovies can still go.

What about the gochujang? Last year I sent gochujang from this very post office with no problems.

Does the gochujang have any meat in it? Food containing meat can't be sent anymore.

Oh, this jar is gochujang stir-fried with beef, and that jar is just plain gochujang.

Geureomyeon geunyang gochujangman bonaesimyeon doemnida. Daman yuribyeongeun kkaejil su isseuni peullaseutik tonge dameusyeoya hamnida.
Then you can send just the plain gochujang. But glass jars can break, so it has to go in a plastic container.

Oh dear, they're both in glass jars. What do I do? Do I have to go home and come back?

No need. We sell boxes here, and the shop right next door has plastic containers. You can repack it right here.

What a relief. Then I guess I'll take the beef gochujang home and eat it myself.

I'm sorry for the trouble. We can only tell you what the rules say.

Not at all, I'm actually grateful you told me beforehand. It'd be much worse if it all got thrown out on the way.
