Day 60 of 185

Day 60: Public Corporation or Game Company

At the university career centre, two friends in their final year, Eunseo (A) and Chaewon (B), meet a career counsellor, Mr. Kang (C).

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. C 두 뢄이 같이 μ˜€μ…¨λ„€μš”. 이λ ₯μ„œλŠ” κ°€μ Έμ˜€μ…¨μ–΄μš”? μ–΄λŠ μͺ½μœΌλ‘œ μ€€λΉ„ν•˜μ„Έμš”?

    Du buni gachi osyeonneyo. Iryeokseoneun gajyeoosyeosseoyo? Eoneu jjogeuro junbihaseyo?

    So you two came together. Did you bring your rΓ©sumΓ©s? What are you each aiming for?

  2. A λ„€, μ—¬κΈ°μš”. μ €λŠ” κ³΅κΈ°μ—…μ΄μš”. λΆ€λͺ¨λ‹˜λ„ μ›ν•˜μ‹œκ³ , 였래 닀닐 수 있고 ν•΄μ„œμš”.

    Ne, yeogiyo. Jeoneun gonggieobiyo. Bumonimdo wonhasigo, orae danil su itgo haeseoyo.

    Yes, here. I'm aiming for a public corporation. My parents want that too, and it's a job you can keep for the long haul.

  3. B μ €λŠ” κ²Œμž„ νšŒμ‚¬μš”. 어릴 λ•ŒλΆ€ν„° κ²Œμž„μ„ μ’‹μ•„ν–ˆκ³ , 기획 일이 제 적성에 λ§žλŠ” 것 κ°™μ•„μ„œμš”.

    Jeoneun geim hoesayo. Eoril ttaebuteo geimeul joahaetgo, gihoek iri je jeokseonge manneun geot gataseoyo.

    For me, it's game companies. I've loved games since I was little, and I think game design suits me.

  4. A μ„ μƒλ‹˜, μ±„μ›μ΄λŠ” 맀일 λ°€μƒˆ κ²Œμž„λ§Œ ν•΄μš”. 그것도 κ²½ν—˜μ΄λΌκ³  ν•  수 μžˆλ‚˜μš”?

    Seonsaengnim, Chaewonineun maeil bamsae geimman haeyo. Geugeotdo gyeongheomirago hal su innayo?

    Mr. Kang, Chaewon plays games all night, every night. Does that even count as experience?

  5. B μ•Ό, 그건 연ꡬ야, 연ꡬ!

    Ya, geugeon yeonguya, yeongu!

    Hey, that's research, research!

  6. C ν•˜ν•˜. μ€μ„œ μ”¨λŠ” 학점은 쒋은데 κ΄€λ ¨ κ²½ν—˜μ΄ 거의 μ—†λ„€μš”. μš”μ¦˜ 곡기업은 인턴 κ²½ν—˜μ„ μ€‘μš”ν•˜κ²Œ λ³΄λŠ” λ“―μ‹Άμ–΄μš”.

    Haha. Eunseo ssineun hakjeomeun joeunde gwallyeon gyeongheomi geoui eomneyo. Yojeum gonggieobeun inteon gyeongheomeul jungyohage boneun deutsipeoyo.

    Ha ha. Eunseo, your grades are good, but you have almost no relevant experience. Public corporations seem to put a lot of weight on internships these days.

  7. A μΈν„΄μ΄μš”? 곡기업은 μ‹œν—˜μ΄λž‘ 자격증만 있으면 λ˜λŠ” κ±° μ•„λ‹ˆμ—μš”?

    Inteoniyo? Gonggieobeun siheomirang jagyeokjeungman isseumyeon doeneun geo anieyo?

    Internships? For public corporations, don't you just need the exam and a few certificates?

  8. C μ‹œν—˜λ„ μ€‘μš”ν•˜μ£ . 그런데 λ©΄μ ‘μ—μ„œ λ–¨μ–΄μ§€λŠ” μ‚¬λžŒλ“€μ„ 보면 λŒ€λΆ€λΆ„ κ²½ν—˜ μ–˜κΈ°λ₯Ό λͺ» ν•˜λ”κ΅°μš”.

    Siheomdo jungyohajyo. Geureonde myeonjeobeseo tteoreojineun saramdeureul bomyeon daebubun gyeongheom yaegireul mot hadeogunyo.

    The exam matters, sure. But when I look at people who fail the interview, most of them can't talk about their experience.

  9. B 거봐, κ²½ν—˜μ΄ μ€‘μš”ν•˜λ‹€λ‹ˆκΉŒ. μ„ μƒλ‹˜, 그럼 μ €λŠ” μ–΄λ•Œμš”?

    Geobwa, gyeongheomi jungyohadanikka. Seonsaengnim, geureom jeoneun eottaeyo?

    See? Experience matters. So what about me, Mr. Kang?

  10. C 채원 μ”¨λŠ” κ²Œμž„μ„ μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” 건 μ•Œκ² λŠ”λ°, 이λ ₯μ„œμ— 그게 ν•˜λ‚˜λ„ μ•ˆ λ³΄μ—¬μš”.

    Chaewon ssineun geimeul joahaneun geon algenneunde, iryeokseoe geuge hanado an boyeoyo.

    Chaewon, I can tell you love games, but none of that shows on your rΓ©sumΓ©.

  11. B κ²Œμž„μ„ μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” κ±Έ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ 보여 μ€˜μš”? 제 κ²Œμž„ λž­ν‚Ήμ„ μ¨μš”?

    Geimeul joahaneun geol eotteoke boyeo jwoyo? Je geim raengkingeul sseoyo?

    How do I show that I love games? Do I put my game ranking on it?

  12. C 직접 λ§Œλ“  κ²Œμž„μ΄λ‚˜ κ²Œμž„ 리뷰 같은 게 있으면 μ’‹μ•„μš”. κ²Œμž„ νšŒμ‚¬λŠ” κ²°κ³Όλ¬ΌλΆ€ν„° λ³΄κ±°λ“ μš”.

    Jikjeop mandeun geimina geim ribyu gateun ge isseumyeon joayo. Geim hoesaneun gyeolgwamulbuteo bogeodeunyo.

    It helps to have a game you've made yourself, or some game reviews. Game companies look at what you've actually produced first.

  13. A κ²°κ΅­ 우리 λ‘˜ λ‹€ λ§ˆμ°¬κ°€μ§€λ„€. κ²½ν—˜μ΄ λΆ€μ‘±ν•œ λ“―.

    Gyeolguk uri dul da machangajine. Gyeongheomi bujokan deut.

    So we're in the same boat. We're both short on experience.

  14. B κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ. λ°©ν•™ λ•Œ λ„ˆλŠ” 인턴 ν•˜κ³  λ‚˜λŠ” κ²Œμž„ ν•˜λ‚˜ λ§Œλ“€μ–΄ 보자.

    Geureonikka. Banghak ttae neoneun inteon hago naneun geim hana mandeureo boja.

    Yep. Over the break, you do an internship, and I'll make a game.

  15. C μ’‹μ•„μš”. λ‹€μŒμ— 올 λ•ŒλŠ” λ‘˜ λ‹€ 이λ ₯μ„œμ— μ“Έ 게 μƒκΈ°κ² λ„€μš”. κ²Œμž„ λž­ν‚Ή λ§κ³ μš”.

    Joayo. Daeume ol ttaeneun dul da iryeokseoe sseul ge saenggigenneyo. Geim raengking malgoyo.

    Good. Next time you come, you'll both have something to put on your rΓ©sumΓ©s. Something other than a game ranking.
