Day 7: My Son Wants to Stream Games

Over soju at a small pub, Sangcheol (A), whose son is at university, talks with Dongwook (B), his old high-school friend.

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.

    Maldo ma. Uri Minjaega daehakgyoreul geumandugo geim bangsongeul hagetdago nallida.

    Don't even ask. My Minjae is making a huge fuss about quitting university to stream games.

    Geim bangsong? Yojeum aedeuri mani haneun geugeo? Geuraeseo gyaeneun doneun eotteoke beondani?

    Game streaming? That thing all the kids are doing these days? So how does he say he'll make money?

  4. A κ΅¬λ…μžλ§Œ 늘면 κ΄‘κ³ λ‘œλ„ 벌고 후원도 받을 수 μžˆλ‹€κ³  그래.

    Gudokjaman neulmyeon gwanggorodo beolgo huwondo badeul su itdago geurae.

    He says once he gets more subscribers, he can earn from ads and get donations too.

    Cheon myeongjjeum. Geugeolloneun han dare chikingapdo an naonda.

    About a thousand. That doesn't even pay for one chicken dinner a month.

  7. B ν•˜ν•˜, κ·Έλž˜λ„ 벌써 μ‹œμž‘μ€ ν–ˆκ΅¬λ‚˜. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ λ„ˆλŠ” 뭐라고 ν–ˆλŠ”λ°?

    Haha, geuraedo beolsseo sijageun haetguna. Geuraeseo neoneun mworago haenneunde?

    Ha ha, well, at least he's already started. So what did you tell him?

  8. A λ”± 잘라 λ§ν–ˆμ§€. "쑸업도 1년밖에 μ•ˆ λ‚¨μ•˜κ±°λ‹ˆμ™€ λ°©μ†‘μœΌλ‘œ 평생 λ¨Ήκ³ μ‚΄ 수 μžˆλŠ” 것도 μ•„λ‹ˆλ‹€."

    Ttak jalla malhaetji. "Joreopdo 1nyeonbakke an namatgeoniwa bangsongeuro pyeongsaeng meokgosal su inneun geotdo anida."

    I put my foot down. "You have only one year left until graduation, and besides, streaming is not something you can live on for the rest of your life."

  9. B 아이고, 무슨 ꡐμž₯ μ„ μƒλ‹˜ 연섀이냐? 근데 λ―Όμž¬λŠ” 미래 κ³„νšμ„ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ μ„Έμ› λ‹€λ‹ˆ?

    Aigo, museun gyojang seonsaengnim yeonseorinya? Geunde Minjaeneun mirae gyehoegeul eotteoke sewotdani?

    Oh boy, what is that, a headmaster's speech? But what does Minjae say his plans for the future are?

  10. A 그게 λ¬Έμ œμ•Ό. κ³„νšμ€ μ—†κ³  무쑰건 μ’‹μ•„ν•˜λŠ” 일을 ν•˜κ² λ‹€κ³ λ§Œ ν•΄.

    Geuge munjeya. Gyehoegeun eopgo mujogeon joahaneun ireul hagetdagoman hae.

    That's the problem. He's got no plan. He just insists on doing what he loves.

  11. B λ‚΄κ°€ ν•œλ²ˆ λ§Œλ‚˜ 볼까? 우리 νšŒμ‚¬κ°€ κ²Œμž„ νšŒμ‚¬μž–μ•„. 이 λ°”λ‹₯ ν˜„μ‹€μ€ λ‚΄κ°€ μ’€ μ•Œμ§€.

    Naega hanbeon manna bolkka? Uri hoesaga geim hoesajana. I badak hyeonsireun naega jom alji.

    Want me to talk to him? My company makes games, remember. I know a thing or two about how that world really works.

  12. A λ„€κ°€? κ±”κ°€ λ„€ 말은 μ’€ λ“£κ² λ‹€. μ•„λΉ  말은 λ‹€ μž”μ†Œλ¦¬λ‘œ λ“€μœΌλ‹ˆκΉŒ.

    Nega? Gyaega ne mareun jom deutgetda. Appa mareun da jansoriro deureunikka.

    You would? He might actually listen to you. Everything his dad says sounds like nagging to him.

  13. B 그리고 λ„ˆλ„ 연섀은 μ’€ 쀄여. ν•™κ΅λŠ” 마치고 방솑은 주말에 ν•΄ 보라고 ν•˜λ©΄ λ˜μž–μ•„.

    Geurigo neodo yeonseoreun jom juryeo. Hakgyoneun machigo bangsongeun jumare hae borago hamyeon doejana.

    And you cut down on the speeches. You could just tell him to finish school and try streaming at weekends.

  14. A 그래, 그런 방법도 μžˆκ² λ‹€. 이번 주말에 우리 집에 μ™€μ„œ λ°₯μ΄λ‚˜ 같이 먹자.

    Geurae, geureon bangbeopdo itgetda. Ibeon jumare uri jibe waseo babina gachi meokja.

    Yeah, that could work. Come over this weekend and have dinner with us.

  15. B μ’‹μ§€. 근데 사싀 λ‚˜ 벌써 민재 방솑 κ΅¬λ…ν–ˆλ‹€. 천 λͺ… 쀑에 ν•œ λͺ…이 λ‚˜μ•Ό.

    Jochi. Geunde sasil na beolsseo Minjae bangsong gudokaetda. Cheon myeong junge han myeongi naya.

    Sounds good. Actually, I've already subscribed to Minjae's channel. I'm one of the thousand.
