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.

C 수진아, 머리 잘랐어? 다른 사람 같아!

Sujina, meori jallasseo? Dareun saram gata!

Sujin, you cut your hair? You look like a different person!
A 응, 어제. 짧은 머리 어때?

Eung, eoje. Jjalbeun meori eottae?

Yeah, yesterday. What do you think of it short?
B 진짜 잘 어울려. 색도 밝은 색으로 바꿨네?

Jinjja jal eoullyeo. Saekdo balgeun saegeuro bakkwonne?

It really suits you. And you went for a lighter colour too?
A 응. 긴 머리는 오 년이면 충분해.

Eung. Gin meorineun o nyeonimyeon chungbunhae.

Yeah. Five years of long hair is enough.
C 그래도 아쉽지 않아? 오래 길렀는데.

Geuraedo aswipji ana? Orae gilleonneunde.

Don't you miss it, though? You grew it for so long.
A 전혀. 긴 머리는 말리는 게 제일 힘들었어.

Jeonhyeo. Gin meorineun mallineun ge jeil himdeureosseo.

Not at all. Drying long hair was the worst part.
B 다시 기르고 싶으면? 또 오 년이야.

Dasi gireugo sipeumyeon? Tto o nyeoniya.

What if you want it long again? That's another five years.
C 난 짧은 머리가 더 힘든 것 같아. 매달 잘라야 돼.

Nan jjalbeun meoriga deo himdeun geot gata. Maedal jallaya dwae.

I think short hair is harder. You have to get it cut every month.
A 괜찮아. 매달 자르는 게 오 년 기다리는 것보다 쉬워.

Gwaenchana. Maedal jareuneun ge o nyeon gidarineun geotboda swiwo.

That's fine. A cut every month is easier than waiting five years.
B 그럼 난 길러 볼까? 긴 머리 남자 어때?

Geureom nan gilleo bolkka? Gin meori namja eottae?

Then maybe I should grow mine out. How about a guy with long hair?
