Day 32 of 185

Day 32: My Team Leader Took My Idea

Over dinner at her aunt's flat, Subin (A), a young office worker, talks about her day with her aunt (B), who is a manager herself.

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.

    Subin, you've barely touched your food. Did something happen at work?

    Auntie, my team leader presented my idea at today's meeting as if it were his own.

    I tried to talk to him after the meeting, but he wouldn't even look me in the eye, let alone apologise. It felt so unfair that I cried a little in the bathroom.

    What are you crying for? If it's unfair, don't just put up with it. Get your evidence together first.

    Evidence? Now that I think about it, I did send it to him on the work messenger first.

    Then you're covered. Don't you dare delete that message, and keep a record of everything, with the dates.

    But if I go and confront him with it, won't that just sour things between us?

    Don't pick a fight. At the next meeting, you speak up first. Report on the progress in your own words.

    Me, first? What if he gets upset?

    Now that you say it, you're right. Tonight I'll start by screenshotting those messages and putting them in order.

    Good. But for now, stop thinking about work and eat. It's all gone cold.
