Day 67: My Teacher's Secret Study Channel

After class at a cram school, Seoyeon (A), a student retaking the Suneung, comes to her teacher, Ms. Yoon (B), with a question that has nothing to do with the exam.

How to study this lesson 4 steps

Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
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.
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.
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.

A 선생님, 잠깐 시간 괜찮으세요? 여쭤볼 게 있어서요.

Seonsaengnim, jamkkan sigan gwaenchaneuseyo? Yeojjwobol ge isseoseoyo.

Ms. Yoon, do you have a minute? There's something I wanted to ask you.
B 네, 괜찮아요. 모르는 문제 있어요?

Ne, gwaenchanayo. Moreuneun munje isseoyo?

Sure, go ahead. Is there a question you're stuck on?
A 그게 아니라요... 어제 공부 동영상을 보다가 선생님 목소리를 들었어요.

Geuge anirayo... eoje gongbu dongyeongsangeul bodaga seonsaengnim moksorireul deureosseoyo.

It's not that... Yesterday I was watching a study video, and I heard your voice.
B 제 목소리요? 무슨 영상인지 한번 보여 줄래요?

Je moksoriyo? Museun yeongsanginji hanbeon boyeo jullaeyo?

My voice? Can you show me which video?
A 여기요. "같이 공부해요" 채널이요. 구독자가 오만 명이 넘던데요.

Yeogiyo. "Gachi gongbuhaeyo" chaeneoriyo. Gudokjaga oman myeongi neomdeondeyo.

Here. The "Study With Me" channel. It has over fifty thousand subscribers!
B 아... 들켰네요. 얼굴은 안 나오게 찍었는데, 어떻게 알았어요?

A... deulkyeonneyo. Eolgureun an naoge jjigeonneunde, eotteoke arasseoyo?

Oh... I've been found out. I filmed it so my face wouldn't show. How did you know?
A 손만 보고도 알았어요. 반지랑 펜이 똑같았거든요. 선생님이 영상을 올리시는 줄 전혀 몰랐어요.

Sonman bogodo arasseoyo. Banjirang peni ttokgatatgeodeunyo. Seonsaengnimi yeongsangeul ollisineun jul jeonhyeo mollasseoyo.

I knew just from your hands. The ring and the pen were the same. I had no idea you posted videos.
B 사실 저도 재수를 했어요. 그때 혼자 공부하는 게 너무 외로웠거든요.

Sasil jeodo jaesureul haesseoyo. Geuttae honja gongbuhaneun ge neomu oerowotgeodeunyo.

Actually, I retook the exam too. Studying on my own back then was so lonely.
A 선생님이 재수를 하셨다고요? 공부를 엄청 잘하셨을 줄 알았어요.

Seonsaengnimi jaesureul hasyeotdagoyo? Gongbureul eomcheong jalhasyeosseul jul arasseoyo.

You retook it? I thought you must have been a top student.
B 전혀요. 그래서 혼자 공부하는 학생들한테 옆에 누가 있는 느낌을 주고 싶었어요.

Jeonhyeoyo. Geuraeseo honja gongbuhaneun haksaengdeulhante yeope nuga inneun neukkimeul jugo sipeosseoyo.

Not at all. So I wanted to give students studying alone the feeling that someone was there with them.
A 그 마음이 느껴져요. 저도 밤마다 그 영상을 켜 놓고 공부하거든요.

Geu maeumi neukkyeojyeoyo. Jeodo bammada geu yeongsangeul kyeo noko gongbuhageodeunyo.

I can feel that. I leave your videos on every night while I study, too.
B 그런데 서연 씨, 부탁이 하나 있어요. 반 친구들한테는 비밀로 해 줄 수 있어요?

Geureonde Seoyeon ssi, butagi hana isseoyo. Ban chingudeulhanteneun bimillo hae jul su isseoyo?

But, Seoyeon, I have a favour to ask. Could you keep it a secret from the rest of the class?
A 왜요? 다들 알면 좋아할 텐데요.

Waeyo? Dadeul almyeon joahal tendeyo.

Why? Everyone would love to know.
B 수업 시간에 다들 문제는 안 보고 제 손만 쳐다볼 것 같아서요.

Sueop sigane dadeul munjeneun an bogo je sonman chyeodabol geot gataseoyo.

I'm afraid they'd stare at my hands in class instead of the problems.
A 하하, 알겠어요. 대신 수능 끝나면 댓글은 꼭 남길게요.

Haha, algesseoyo. Daesin suneung kkeunnamyeon daetgeureun kkok namgilgeyo.

Ha ha, okay. But once my Suneung is over, I'm definitely leaving a comment.
