Day 74: A Fake Call in My Voice

At home in the evening, a father (A) asks his adult daughter, Jieun (B), about a strange phone call he got that afternoon.

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.

    Jieun, did you call me this afternoon?

    No? I was in meetings all day. Why?

    Isanghada. Ne moksoriro jeonhwaga wasseo. Geupage doni piryohadago ulmyeonseo.

    That's strange. I got a call in your voice. You were crying, saying you urgently needed money.

  4. B 뭐? κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μ•„λΉ , 돈 λ³΄λƒˆμ–΄?

    Mwo? Geuraeseo appa, don bonaesseo?

    What? So did you send it?

    Bonaeryeodaga gyejwa beonhoga isanghaeseo an bonaetji. Geunde maltukkaji neorang ttokgatasseo.

    I was about to, but the account number looked odd, so I didn't. But even the way she talked was just like you.

  6. B μ•„λΉ , κ·Έκ±° 인곡지λŠ₯ λͺ©μ†Œλ¦¬ 사기야. μš”μ¦˜ λ‰΄μŠ€μ— 많이 λ‚˜μ™€.

    Appa, geugeo ingongjineung moksori sagiya. Yojeum nyuseue mani nawa.

    Dad, that's an AI voice scam. It's all over the news lately.

  7. A λͺ©μ†Œλ¦¬λ₯Ό μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ λ˜‘κ°™μ΄ λ§Œλ“€μ–΄?

    Moksorireul eotteoke geureoke ttokgachi mandeureo?

    How can they make a voice sound exactly the same?

    Myeot chojjari yeongsangman isseodo moksorireul ttara hal su isseo. Naega ollin yeohaeng yeongsangeseo gajyeoganna bwa.

    A few seconds of video is enough to copy a voice. They must have taken it from the travel videos I posted.

  9. A 세상에. μš°λŠ” μ†Œλ¦¬κΉŒμ§€ λ˜‘κ°™μ•˜λŠ”λ°. μ—„λ§ˆκ°€ λ°›μ•˜μœΌλ©΄ λ°”λ‘œ λ³΄λƒˆμ„ κ±°μ•Ό.

    Sesange. Uneun sorikkaji ttokgatanneunde. Eommaga badasseumyeon baro bonaesseul geoya.

    Good grief. Even the crying sounded just like you. If your mom had answered, she'd have sent it right away.

    Geuraeseo marinde, uri gajokkkiri bimilbeonhoreul hana jeonghaja.

    Which is why we should set a password, just for our family.

  11. A λΉ„λ°€λ²ˆν˜Έ? 은행 λΉ„λ°€λ²ˆν˜Έ 같은 κ±°?

    Bimilbeonho? Eunhaeng bimilbeonho gateun geo?

    A password? Like a bank PIN?

  12. B μ•„λ‹ˆ, 우리만 μ•„λŠ” 단어. λˆ„κ°€ κΈ‰ν•˜κ²Œ 돈 달라고 ν•˜λ©΄ κ·Έ 단어뢀터 λ¬Όμ–΄λ³΄λŠ” κ±°μ•Ό.

    Ani, uriman aneun daneo. Nuga geupage don dallago hamyeon geu daneobuteo mureoboneun geoya.

    No, a word only we know. If anyone asks for money in a hurry, you ask for that word first.

  13. A μ’‹λ‹€. 그럼 μ˜›λ‚ μ— ν‚€μš°λ˜ κ°•μ•„μ§€ 이름 μ–΄λ•Œ? 콩이.

    Jota. Geureom yennare kiudeon gangaji ireum eottae? Kongi.

    Good idea. How about the name of the dog we used to have? Kongi.

  14. B μ’‹μ•„. 그리고 μ΄μƒν•œ μ „ν™”κ°€ 였면 κ·Έλƒ₯ λŠλ“ μ§€ λ‚˜ν•œν…Œ λ‹€μ‹œ κ±Έλ“ μ§€ ν•΄. μ ˆλŒ€ λ°”λ‘œ 돈 보내지 말고.

    Joa. Geurigo isanghan jeonhwaga omyeon geunyang kkeunteunji nahante dasi geoldeunji hae. Jeoldae baro don bonaeji malgo.

    Perfect. And if you get a strange call, either hang up or call me back. Never send money straight away.

  15. A μ•Œμ•˜μ–΄. μ•„κΉŒ κ·Έ μ „ν™” λ°›κ³  심μž₯이 λ©ŽλŠ” 쀄 μ•Œμ•˜λ‹€.

    Got it. When I got that call earlier, I thought my heart was going to stop.
