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.

Honey, how long has it been since your last haircut?
B 글쎄... 한 달쯤?

Geulsse... han daljjeum?

Hmm... about a month?
A 한 달? 석 달 됐어. 머리가 너무 길어.

Han dal? Seok dal dwaesseo. Meoriga neomu gireo.

A month? It's been three months. Your hair's way too long.
B 괜찮아. 나는 이 머리가 편해.

Gwaenchana. Naneun i meoriga pyeonhae.

It's fine. I'm comfortable with it like this.
A 일요일에 가족사진 찍기로 했지? 사진에 잘 나오게 좀 잘라.

Iryoire gajoksajin jjikgiro haetji? Sajine jal naoge jom jalla.

We're having the family photo taken on Sunday, remember? Get it cut so you look good in the pictures.
B 알았어. 그런데 이번 주는 너무 바빠.

Arasseo. Geureonde ibeon juneun neomu bappa.

OK. But I'm really busy this week.
A 그래서 내가 벌써 토요일 아침으로 미용실 예약했어.

Geuraeseo naega beolsseo toyoil achimeuro miyongsil yeyakaesseo.

That's why I've already booked you in at the salon for Saturday morning.
B 벌써? 알았어, 갈게. 그런데 너무 짧게는 안 자를 거야.

Beolsseo? Arasseo, galge. Geureonde neomu jjalgeneun an jareul geoya.

Already? Fine, I'll go. But I'm not getting it cut too short.
A 걱정 마. 앞머리가 눈을 안 가리게 조금만 잘라.

Geokjeong ma. Ammeoriga nuneul an garige jogeumman jalla.

Don't worry. Just a little off, so your fringe doesn't cover your eyes.
