At her grandmother's house, Daeun (A), a young office worker, brings up an idea with her grandmother (B).

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.

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

    Grandma, I want to try selling your kimchi online.

  2. B 뭐? λ‚΄ κΉ€μΉ˜λ₯Ό? μ„€λ§ˆ 농담이지?

    Mwo? Nae gimchireul? Seolma nongdamiji?

    What? My kimchi? You're joking, right?

    Dongnyodeulhante nanwo jwotdeoni dadeul eodiseo panyago mureobwayo. Beolsseo jumunhagetdago han saramdo daseot myeongieyo.

    I gave some to my coworkers, and they all asked where they could buy it. Five people have already said they'd order some.

    Halmeoni gimchiya dangyeonhi masitjyo. Soljiki geu maseun jega jeil jal aljanayo.

    Your kimchi's delicious, obviously. Honestly, nobody knows that taste better than me.

  6. B 맛이야 μžμ‹  μžˆμ§€. 근데 μž₯μ‚¬λŠ” λ§›λ§Œ μ’‹λ‹€κ³  λ˜λŠ” 게 μ•„λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    Masiya jasin itji. Geunde jangsaneun manman jotago doeneun ge anida.

    Sure, I'm confident about the taste. But it takes more than good taste to run a business.

  7. A κ·Έλž˜μ„œ ν—ˆκ°€ λ°›λŠ” κ±°λž‘ 포μž₯, 배솑은 μ œκ°€ λ‹€ μ•Œμ•„λ΄€μ–΄μš”. ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆλŠ” μ§€κΈˆμ²˜λŸΌ κΉ€μΉ˜λ§Œ λ‹΄κ°€ μ£Όμ‹œλ©΄ λΌμš”.

    Geuraeseo heoga banneun georang pojang, baesongeun jega da arabwasseoyo. Halmeonineun jigeumcheoreom gimchiman damga jusimyeon dwaeyo.

    That's why I've looked into all the permits, packaging and delivery. You just keep making the kimchi like you do now.

    Geureonikka gagyeogeul jogeum nopge badeul geoyeyo. Joeun jaeryoro mandeun geonikka saramdeuldo ihaehal geoyeyo.

    That's why I'll charge a bit more. It's made with good ingredients, so people will understand.

  10. B μ΄λ ‡κ²ŒκΉŒμ§€ μ•Œμ•„λ΄€μœΌλ‹ˆ ν•œλ²ˆ ν•΄ 보자. 근데 κΉ€μΉ˜ 비법은 μ ˆλŒ€ λͺ» μ•Œλ € μ€€λ‹€.

    Ireokekkaji arabwasseuni hanbeon hae boja. Geunde gimchi bibeobeun jeoldae mot allyeo junda.

    Since you've looked into it this carefully, let's give it a go. But I'm never giving away my kimchi secret.

  11. A ν•˜ν•˜, μ•Œμ•„μš”. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μƒν’ˆ 이름도 'ν• λ¨Έλ‹ˆμ˜ λΉ„λ°€ κΉ€μΉ˜'둜 생각해 λ†¨μ–΄μš”.

    Haha, arayo. Geuraeseo sangpum ireumdo 'halmeoniui bimil gimchi'ro saenggakae nwasseoyo.

    Ha ha, I know. That's why I've already come up with a name: 'Grandma's Secret Kimchi'.

  12. B λΉ„λ°€ κΉ€μΉ˜? ν—ˆν—ˆ, 그럼 포μž₯에 λ‚΄ 얼꡴은 넣지 마라.

    Bimil gimchi? Heoheo, geureom pojange nae eolgureun neochi mara.

    Secret kimchi? Ha. Then don't put my face on the packet.

  13. A μ™œμš”?

    Why not?
