Day 152: Bigger Letters for Her Phone

On a bench at the community centre, Sunja (A), who can't read the text messages on her phone, asks her old friend Youngja (B) for help.

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 영자야, 이것 좀 봐 줘. 글씨가 너무 작아서 안 보여.

Yeongjaya, igeot jom bwa jwo. Geulssiga neomu jagaseo an boyeo.

Youngja, take a look at this for me. The letters are so small I can't read them.
B 뭐야? 아, 문자네. 누가 보냈어?

Mwoya? A, munjane. Nuga bonaesseo?

What is it? Oh, a text message. Who's it from?
A 손녀가 아침마다 보내. 그런데 읽을 수가 없어.

Sonnyeoga achimmada bonae. Geureonde ilgeul suga eopseo.

My granddaughter sends me one every morning. But I can't read them.
B 내가 잘 보이게 글씨를 크게 바꿔 줄게. 줘 봐.

Naega jal boige geulssireul keuge bakkwo julge. Jwo bwa.

I'll make the letters bigger so you can see them. Give it here.
A 그런 것도 돼?

Geureon geotdo dwae?

You can do that?
B 그럼. 여기를 누르고, 이걸 끝까지 밀면... 자, 봐.

Geureom. Yeogireul nureugo, igeol kkeutkkaji milmyeon... ja, bwa.

Sure. You press here, slide this all the way, and... there, look.
A 와, 이제 글씨가 잘 보여! 고마워.

Wa, ije geulssiga jal boyeo! Gomawo.

Oh, now I can see the letters! Thanks.
B 안경 없이도 읽을 수 있게 제일 크게 바꿨어.

Angyeong eopsido ilgeul su itge jeil keuge bakkwosseo.

I made them the biggest size so you can read without your glasses.
A 어디 볼까? "할머니, 사랑해요!" 어머, 우리 손녀.

Eodi bolkka? "Halmeoni, saranghaeyo!" Eomeo, uri sonnyeo.

Let me see. "Grandma, I love you!" Oh, my sweet granddaughter.
