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 어, 지훈아. 월요일 아침부터 머리 색을 바꿨군.

Eo, Jihuna. Woryoil achimbuteo meori saegeul bakkwotgun.

Oh, Jihun. A new hair colour on a Monday morning, I see.
A 네, 선생님... 주말에 누나가 해 줬어요.

Ne, seonsaengnim... jumare nunaga hae jwosseoyo.

Yes, sir... My sister did it over the weekend.
B 갈색이 잘 어울리는군. 그런데 학교 규칙 알지?

Galsaegi jal eoullineungun. Geureonde hakgyo gyuchik alji?

Brown suits you. But you know the school rules, right?
A 네... 그래서 다시 검은색으로 바꿀까 봐요.

Yes... So I'm thinking of changing it back to black.
B 수요일에 검사가 있어. 그 전에 할 수 있어?

Suyoire geomsaga isseo. Geu jeone hal su isseo?

There's a check on Wednesday. Can you do it before then?
A 네, 오늘 저녁에 할게요. 그런데 선생님, 색이 정말 괜찮아요?

Ne, oneul jeonyeoge halgeyo. Geureonde seonsaengnim, saegi jeongmal gwaenchanayo?

Yes, I'll do it this evening. But sir, does the colour really look okay?
B 응, 멋있어. 그래도 규칙은 규칙이야.

Yeah, it looks good. But rules are rules.
A 그럼 졸업하고 다시 갈색으로 바꿀까 봐요.

Geureom joreopago dasi galsaegeuro bakkulkka bwayo.

Then maybe I'll go brown again after I graduate.
