Day 43: My Sister Saw a Counsellor Too

Late one night at home, Sua (A), who has just started a new job, is still awake when her older sister Jiyeon (B) checks on her.

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.

    Hoesa ttaemune? Ipsahan ji ije han dal jom neomeotji?

    Because of work? It's been just over a month since you started, right?

    Eung. Silsuhalkka bwa gyesok buranhago, nuumyeon naeil hal iri mak tteoolla.

    Yeah. I keep worrying I'll make a mistake, and when I lie down, everything I have to do tomorrow floods into my head.

    Nuguhante hae. Eommahante malhamyeon geokjeongman hasil geogo.

    Who would I tell? If I told Mom, she'd just worry.

  7. B λ„ˆ λ‹€μŒ 주에 건강검진 λ°›μœΌλŸ¬ 병원 κ°„λ‹€κ³  ν–ˆμ§€? κ±°κΈ° 상담 받을 수 μžˆλŠ” 과도 μžˆλ”λΌ.

    Neo daeum jue geonganggeomjin badeureo byeongwon gandago haetji? Geogi sangdam badeul su inneun gwado itdeora.

    You said you're going to the hospital for your check-up next week, right? They've got a department there where you can see a counsellor.

  8. A 상담? μ†”μ§νžˆ λ‚˜ κ·Έ μ •λ„λŠ” μ•„λ‹Œ 것 같은데...

    Sangdam? Soljiki na geu jeongdoneun anin geot gateunde...

    Byeongwon ganeun gime sangdamdo hanbeon bada bwa. Gamgi geollimyeon yak meokjana. Maeumdo ttokgata.

    While you're at the hospital anyway, try talking to someone. When you catch a cold, you take medicine, right? Your mind's no different.

  10. A 말은 쉽지. 괜히 νšŒμ‚¬μ—μ„œ μ•Œκ²Œ 되면 μ–΄λ–‘ν•΄?

    Hoesaneun molla. Geurigo sasil... nado jangnyeone danyeowasseo. Ijikago handongan neocheoreom jameul mot jatgeodeun.

    Work won't know. And actually... I went myself last year. After I changed jobs, I couldn't sleep for a while, just like you.

  12. A μ–Έλ‹ˆκ°€? μ „ν˜€ λͺ°λžμ–΄. μ™œ 말 μ•ˆ ν–ˆμ–΄?

    Eonniga? Jeonhyeo mollasseo. Wae mal an haesseo?

    You did? I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me?

  13. B λ„ˆκΉŒμ§€ κ±±μ •ν• κΉŒ 봐. 근데 막상 κ°€μ„œ λͺ‡ 번 μ–˜κΈ°ν•˜κ³  λ‚˜λ‹ˆκΉŒ 마음이 μ§„μ§œ κ°€λ²Όμ›Œμ§€λ”λΌ. 검진 λ°›λŠ” 김에 κΌ­ μ˜ˆμ•½ν•΄, μ•Œμ•˜μ§€?

    I didn't want you worrying too. But once I actually went and talked a few times, I felt so much lighter. Book a session while you're there for your check-up, okay?

  14. A 응, 그럴게. μ–Έλ‹ˆ, 였늘만 μ˜†μ—μ„œ μžλ„ 돼?

    Eung, geureolge. Eonni, oneulman yeopeseo jado dwae?

    Okay, I will. Can I sleep next to you, just for tonight?
