Day 80: Perm or Colour Before the Wedding

At a hair salon, Mrs. Choi (A), whose daughter is getting married next month, talks with Sora (B), a young hairdresser.

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 어서 오세요. 어떻게 해 드릴까요?

Eoseo oseyo. Eotteoke hae deurilkkayo?

Welcome. What can I do for you?
A 딸 결혼식이 다음 달이에요. 머리를 좀 바꾸고 싶어요.

Ttal gyeolhonsigi daeum darieyo. Meorireul jom bakkugo sipeoyo.

My daughter's wedding is next month. I'd like to change my hair a little.
B 축하드려요! 파마를 하시거나 머리 색을 밝게 바꾸시면 어떠세요?

Chukhadeuryeoyo! Pamareul hasigeona meori saegeul balge bakkusimyeon eotteoseyo?

Congratulations! How about a perm, or a lighter hair colour?
A 파마는 저한테 안 어울려요. 색만 바꿔도 돼요?

Pamaneun jeohante an eoullyeoyo. Saengman bakkwodo dwaeyo?

Perms don't suit me. Could I just change the colour?
B 그럼요. 머리는 결혼식 며칠 전에 자르시면 더 예뻐요.

Geureomyo. Meorineun gyeolhonsik myeochil jeone jareusimyeon deo yeppeoyo.

Of course. And if you have it cut a few days before the wedding, it'll look better.
A 지금은 안 잘라도 돼요?

Jigeumeun an jallado dwaeyo?

So I don't need a cut now?
B 네, 그때 보고 조금 자르거나 그냥 두거나 할게요.

Ne, geuttae bogo jogeum jareugeona geunyang dugeona halgeyo.

That's right. We'll see then, and either trim it a little or leave it as it is.
A 좋아요. 결혼은 딸이 하는데 제가 더 떨리네요.

Joayo. Gyeolhoneun ttari haneunde jega deo tteollineyo.

Good. It's my daughter getting married, but I'm the one who's nervous!
