Day 175 of 265

Day 175: Wednesday Lunch Book Club

At the office, Miyoung (A), a senior coworker, invites Jiwoo (B), who has just joined the team, to a book club.

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 괜찮아요. 다 못 읽어도 돼요. 저도 매번 반만 읽어요.

This one. It's a bit thick.
