Day 35: Honest Advice at the Gym Desk

At a gym's front desk, Junho (A), a young office worker, asks a staff member (B) about signing up.

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.

  1. B μ–΄μ„œ μ˜€μ‹­μ‹œμ˜€. νšŒμ› 등둝 상담 λ°›μœΌλŸ¬ μ˜€μ…¨μŠ΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ?

    Eoseo osipsio. Hoewon deungnok sangdam badeureo osyeotseumnikka?

    Welcome. Are you here to ask about a membership?

  2. A λ„€, 1λ…„ νšŒμ›κΆŒμœΌλ‘œ λ“±λ‘ν•˜λ €κ³ μš”. 건강검진 결과도 μ•ˆ μ’‹κ³  ν•΄μ„œμš”.

    Ne, 1nyeon hoewongwoneuro deungnokaryeogoyo. Geonganggeomjin gyeolgwado an joko haeseoyo.

    Yes, I'd like to sign up for a year. My health check-up results weren't great, and all.

  3. B κ·ΈλŸ¬μ…¨κ΅°μš”. ν˜Ήμ‹œ 전에 μš΄λ™μ„ κΎΈμ€€νžˆ ν•΄ 보신 적은 μžˆμœΌμ‹­λ‹ˆκΉŒ?

    Geureosyeotgunyo. Hoksi jeone undongeul kkujunhi hae bosin jeogeun isseusimnikka?

    I see. Have you ever exercised regularly before?

  4. A μ†”μ§νžˆ 거의 μ—†μ–΄μš”. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ 1λ…„ 치λ₯Ό ν•œ λ²ˆμ— λ‚΄μ„œ 도망 λͺ» κ°€κ²Œ ν•˜λ €κ³ μš”.

    Soljiki geoui eopseoyo. Geuraeseo 1nyeon chireul han beone naeseo domang mot gage haryeogoyo.

    Honestly, hardly ever. That's why I want to pay for a whole year up front, so I can't run away.

  5. B κ·Έ λ§ˆμŒμ€ μ΄ν•΄ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그런데 μ†”μ§νžˆ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬λ©΄ 1년은 μΆ”μ²œν•΄ λ“œλ¦¬μ§€ μ•ŠμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Geu maeumeun ihaehamnida. Geureonde soljiki malsseumdeurimyeon 1nyeoneun chucheonhae deuriji anseumnida.

    I understand how you feel. But to be honest, I wouldn't recommend a year.

  6. A λ„€? ν•œ λ‹¬λ‘œ 치면 1년이 제일 μ‹Έλ‹€κ³  μ“°μ—¬ μžˆλ˜λ°μš”.

    Ne? Han dallo chimyeon 1nyeoni jeil ssadago sseuyeo itdeondeyo.

    Sorry? It says here that a year works out cheapest per month.

  7. B μ‹ΈκΈ΄ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그런데 1μ›”μ—λŠ” λ‹€λ“€ μ˜μš•μ΄ λ„˜μΉ˜μ‹œλ‹€κ°€ 3μ›”λ§Œ 되면 μ•ˆ λ‚˜μ˜€μ‹œλ”κ΅°μš”.

    Ssagin hamnida. Geureonde 1woreneun dadeul uiyogi neomchisidaga 3wolman doemyeon an naosideogunyo.

    It is cheaper. But I've noticed that everyone's full of energy in January, and then by March they stop coming.

  8. A μ•„, 저도 λ”± 그럴 것 κ°™λ„€μš”. 그럼 μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ ν•˜λŠ” 게 μ’‹μ„κΉŒμš”?

    A, jeodo ttak geureol geot ganneyo. Geureom eotteoke haneun ge joeulkkayo?

    Ah, that sounds exactly like me. So what would you suggest?

  9. B μ²˜μŒμ—λŠ” 3κ°œμ›”λ§Œ λ“±λ‘ν•˜μ‹œκ³ , 개인 PTλ₯Ό λ‹€μ„― 번 정도 λ°›μ•„ λ³΄μ‹œλŠ” κ±Έ κΆŒν•΄ λ“œλ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Cheoeumeneun 3gaewolman deungnokasigo, gaein PTreul daseot beon jeongdo bada bosineun geol gwonhae deurimnida.

    I'd suggest signing up for just three months at first and trying about five personal training sessions.

  10. A PTμš”? 이번 달에 돈 λ‚˜κ°ˆ 데도 많고 ν•΄μ„œ 혼자 ν•΄ 보렀고 ν–ˆλŠ”λ°μš”.

    PTyo? Ibeon dare don nagal dedo manko haeseo honja hae boryeogo haenneundeyo.

    PT? I've got a lot of expenses this month, so I was going to work out on my own.

  11. B 혼자 ν•˜μ‹œλ‹€κ°€ μžμ„Έκ°€ 잘λͺ»λΌμ„œ λ‹€μΉ˜μ‹œλŠ” 뢄듀이 λ§ŽμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ²˜μŒμ— μ œλŒ€λ‘œ λ°°μ›Œ 두셔야 였래 ν•˜μ‹­λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Honja hasidaga jasega jalmotdwaeseo dachisineun bundeuri manseumnida. Cheoeume jedaero baewo dusyeoya orae hasimnida.

    A lot of people get hurt working out alone with the wrong form. You need to learn properly at the start if you want to keep at it.

  12. A λ“£κ³  λ³΄λ‹ˆ λ§žλŠ” λ§μ”€μ΄λ„€μš”. 3κ°œμ›”μ— PT λ‹€μ„― 번으둜 ν• κ²Œμš”.

    Deutgo boni manneun malsseumineyo. 3gaewore PT daseot beoneuro halgeyo.

    Now that you put it that way, you're right. I'll go with three months and five PT sessions.

  13. B 잘 μƒκ°ν•˜μ…¨μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그럼 첫 PTλŠ” μ–Έμ œλ‘œ μž‘μ•„ λ“œλ¦΄κΉŒμš”?

    Jal saenggakasyeotseumnida. Geureom cheot PTneun eonjero jaba deurilkkayo?

    Good call. So when shall I book your first PT session?

  14. A 내일 μ•„μΉ¨... μ•„λ‹ˆ, 였늘 μ €λ…μœΌλ‘œ ν•΄ μ£Όμ„Έμš”. 마음 λ°”λ€ŒκΈ° μ „μ—μš”.

    Naeil achim... ani, oneul jeonyeogeuro hae juseyo. Maeum bakkwigi jeoneyo.

    Tomorrow morning... no, make it this evening. Before I change my mind.
