Day 27: Leaving the Farm Job in Sydney

At a Korean restaurant in Sydney, Jaehyun (A) and his girlfriend Soyeon (B), who are there on working holiday visas, get talking with Mr. Lim (C), the owner.

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.

    Yeogi gimchijjigae jinjja Hangugeseo meokdeon masiya. Oegugeseo ireon maseul bonikka nunmul nagetda.

    This kimchi stew tastes just like back home. Getting this flavour abroad almost makes me want to cry.

    Geureoge. Jeogi, sajangnim, hoksi yeogi areubaiteu guhaseyo?

    I know. Um, excuse me, are you by any chance looking for part-timers?

  3. C μ•„λ₯΄λ°”μ΄νŠΈμš”? 두 λΆ„ μ›Œν‚Ή ν™€λ¦¬λ°μ΄λ‘œ μ˜€μ…¨μ–΄μš”?

    Areubaiteuyo? Du bun woking Hollideiro osyeosseoyo?

    Part-timers? Are you two here on working holiday visas?

  4. A λ„€, 넉 달 전에 μ™”μ–΄μš”. κ·Έλ™μ•ˆ μ‹œκ³¨ 농μž₯μ—μ„œ μΌν–ˆλŠ”λ° 이제 κ·Έλ§Œλ‘λ €κ³ μš”.

    Ne, neok dal jeone wasseoyo. Geudongan sigol nongjangeseo ilhaenneunde ije geumanduryeogoyo.

    Yes, we came four months ago. We've been working on a farm out in the country, but we're going to quit.

  5. C 농μž₯ 일이 어떻기에 κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ κ·Έλ§Œλ‘κ³  μ‹Άμ–΄μš”? κ±°κΈ°μ„œ μΌν•˜λ©΄ λΉ„μžλ„ μ—°μž₯ν•  수 μžˆμž–μ•„μš”.

    Nongjang iri eotteokie geureoke geumandugo sipeoyo? Geogiseo ilhamyeon bijado yeonjanghal su itjanayo.

    What's the farm job like that you want to quit so badly? Working there lets you extend your visa, doesn't it?

    Iri neomu himdeulgido hago, juini dondo jettae an jugo haeseoyo. Neomu eogulhaeyo.

    The work is really hard, and the owner doesn't pay us on time, among other things. It's so unfair.

  7. C λˆμ„ μ œλ•Œ μ•ˆ μ€˜μš”? μ–Όλ§ˆλ‚˜ 밀렸기에 κ·Έλž˜μš”?

    Doneul jettae an jwoyo? Eolmana millyeotgie geuraeyo?

    He doesn't pay you on time? How far behind is he, for you to be this upset?

    Beolsseo du daljjaeyo. Gedaga han sigane 15dalleoraseo yeogi choejeo sigeupboda hwolssin jeogeoyo.

    Two months now. And the pay is only fifteen dollars an hour, way below the minimum wage here.

  9. C 아이고, μ—¬κΈ°μ„œ 20λ…„ λ™μ•ˆ κ°€κ²Œλ₯Ό ν•˜λ©΄μ„œ 그런 μ–˜κΈ° 정말 많이 λ“€μ—ˆμ–΄μš”. 그건 λΆˆλ²•μ΄μ—μš”.

    Aigo, yeogiseo 20nyeon dongan gagereul hamyeonseo geureon yaegi jeongmal mani deureosseoyo. Geugeon bulbeobieyo.

    Oh dear. I've run this place for twenty years, and I've heard stories like that so many times. That's illegal.

  10. B μ €ν¬λŠ” μ™Έκ΅­μ—μ„œ μΌν•œ κ²½ν—˜λ„ μŒ“κ³  μ˜μ–΄λ„ 배우고 μ‹Άμ—ˆλŠ”λ°...

    Machim jumare horeseo ilhal sarami piryohaesseoyo. Yeojabuneun ibeon toyoire hanbeon nawaseo ilhae bollaeyo?

    As it happens, I need someone out front at weekends. Miss, how about coming in this Saturday to try a shift?

  12. B μ •λ§μš”? μ €μš”? κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€! μ—΄μ‹¬νžˆ ν• κ²Œμš”.

    Jeongmaryo? Jeoyo? Gamsahamnida! Yeolsimhi halgeyo.

    Really? Me? Thank you! I'll work hard.

    And I'll call you if a kitchen job opens up. Leave your number before you go.

    Yes, sir. Thank you so much for even finding us work.
