Day 93 of 185

Day 93: The Mattress from the Free Seminar

Visiting her mother-in-law (B), Mijin (A) notices an unfamiliar box by the front door.

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.

    Soljiki oerowoseo gasseoyo. Geogi gamyeon dadeul maldo georeo jugo jalhae jugeodeunyo.

    Honestly, I went because I was lonely. Everyone there talks to you and treats you nicely.
