Day 155 of 265

Day 155: Saturday Morning at the Neighbourhood Library

At their neighbourhood library on a Saturday morning, Mijin (A) and her husband, Sanghoon (B), look for somewhere to sit.

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.

B 여보, 창문 옆에 앉을까? 거기가 제일 조용해.

Yeobo, changmun yeope anjeulkka? Geogiga jeil joyonghae.

Honey, shall we sit by the window? It's the quietest spot.
A 거기는 너무 밝아. 난 요리책 쪽이 좋아.

Geogineun neomu balga. Nan yorichaek jjogi joa.

It's too bright there. I'd rather sit over by the cookbooks.
B 또 요리책? 지난 토요일에도 세 권 빌렸지?

Tto yorichaek? Jinan toyoiredo se gwon billyeotji?

Cookbooks again? Didn't you borrow three last Saturday too?
A 응. 난 요리책 보는 게 제일 재미있어.

Eung. Nan yorichaek boneun ge jeil jaemiisseo.

Yep. Looking at cookbooks is the most fun for me.
B 나는 창문 옆에서 소설 읽는 게 좋아.

Naneun changmun yeopeseo soseol ingneun ge joa.

I like reading novels by the window.
A 그럼 오늘은 따로 앉을까?

Geureom oneureun ttaro anjeulkka?

Then shall we sit separately today?
B 싫어. 같이 왔는데 왜 따로 앉아?

Sireo. Gachi wanneunde wae ttaro anja?

No way. We came together, so why sit apart?
A 쉿, 안 들리게 조용히 말해. 저 소파는 어때? 창문하고 요리책 사이야.

Swit, an deullige joyonghi malhae. Jeo sopaneun eottae? Changmunhago yorichaek saiya.

Shh, keep your voice down so no one hears. How about that sofa? It's between the window and the cookbooks.
B 오, 좋아. 거기면 우리 둘 다 괜찮네.

O, joa. Geogimyeon uri dul da gwaenchanne.

Oh, nice. That works for both of us.
