Day 57 of 185

Day 57: Does Mom Need the AI Phone?

At a mobile phone shop, Jihoon (A), a young man buying a phone for his mother, talks to a sales assistant (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.

Dialogue

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

    I'm looking for a phone for my mother. The latest AI phone, the one in the ads. Do a lot of moms use it?

    Yes, it's this model. It can erase people from photos and translate phone calls on the spot.

    About twenty. But what does your mother mostly use her phone for?

  6. A 음... μ „ν™”ν•˜μ‹œκ³ , μΉ΄ν†‘ν•˜μ‹œκ³ , λ“œλΌλ§ˆ λ³΄μ‹œκ³ μš”. 사진은 손주 μ‚¬μ§„λ§Œ μ°μœΌμ„Έμš”.

    Hmm... Calls, KakaoTalk and watching dramas. And the only photos she takes are of her grandkids.

    Ijjok modereun eotteosimnikka? Geulssiga keugo sseugi ganpyeonhaeseo eoreusindeuri mani chajeusimnida.

    How about this model over here? The text is big and it's easy to use, so it's popular with older customers.

  10. A 글씨가 크면 μ’‹κΈ΄ ν•˜κ² λ„€μš”. μ–΄λ¨Έλ‹ˆκ°€ μš”μ¦˜ 돋보기λ₯Ό 자꾸 μ°ΎμœΌμ‹œκ±°λ“ μš”. κ·Έλž˜λ„ μ–΄λ¨Έλ‹ˆκ»˜ ν•œλ²ˆ μ—¬μ­€λ³Όκ²Œμš”.

    Geulssiga keumyeon jokin hagenneyo. Eomeoniga yojeum dotbogireul jakku chajeusigeodeunyo. Geuraedo eomeonikke hanbeon yeojjwobolgeyo.

    Big text would be good. My mother keeps reaching for her reading glasses these days. Still, let me ask her first.

    Eomeoniga mujogeon AI poneuro hasigetdago hasineyo. Sajineseo jiugo sipeun sarami isseusidagoyo.

    My mother says it has to be the AI phone, no question. Apparently there's someone she wants to erase from her photos.

  13. B λ„€? λˆ„κ΅¬λ₯Όμš”?

    Ne? Nugureuryo?

    Sorry? Who?
