Day 77 of 265

Day 77: A Fan Letter by Registered Mail

At a post office counter, Yuna (A), a high-school girl, asks a young clerk (B) how to send a letter and a small present to a singer.

How to study this lesson 4 steps
  1. Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Hi. I'd like to send this letter and this present together.

    Sure. Where are you sending them?

    Ane seonmuri itgi ttaemune deunggiro bonaesineun ge joayo.

    Since there's a present inside, it's better to send it by registered mail.

    How much is registered mail? Do I need to put stamps on it too?

    Samcheon won jeongdogo, upyoneun piryo eopseoyo. Geureonde bongtue upyeonbeonhoga eomneyo.

    It's about 3,000 won, and you don't need stamps. But there's no postcode on the envelope.

  7. A μ•„, μ£Όμ†Œλ₯Ό μ“Έ λ•Œ λ„ˆλ¬΄ λ–¨λ €μ„œ κΉœλΉ‘ν–ˆμ–΄μš”.
