Day 102: The Barista Who Reads Stock Charts

At a cafΓ©, Minseo (A), a regular customer, notices Sujin (B), the barista, checking stock charts on her phone between orders.

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.

Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

    Sujin ssi, jumun gidaridaga bwanneunde, hyudaepone geugeo jusik chateujyo?

    Sujin, I noticed while I was waiting for my order. Is that a stock chart on your phone?

  2. B μ•—, λ“€μΌ°λ„€μš”. μ†λ‹˜ 없을 λ•Œλ§Œ 잠깐 λ΄μš”. 사μž₯λ‹˜κ»˜λŠ” λΉ„λ°€μ΄μ—μš”.

    At, deulkyeonneyo. Sonnim eopseul ttaeman jamkkan bwayo. Sajangnimkkeneun bimirieyo.

    Oops, you caught me. I only take a quick look when there are no customers. Don't tell the owner.

  3. A ν‘œμ •μ΄ 밝은 κ±Έ λ³΄λ‹ˆ μ˜€λŠ˜μ€ 쒋은 μ†Œμ‹μΈκ°€ λ΄μš”.

    Pyojeongi balgeun geol boni oneureun joeun sosiginga bwayo.

    You look happy, so it must be good news today.

    Ne, oneureun jom oreuryeona bwayo. Achimbuteo jugaga gyesok ppalgansaegieyo.

    Yes, it looks like it's going up today. It's been showing red all morning, and here red means up.

  5. A μ €λŠ” 주식은 λ¬΄μ„œμ›Œμ„œ μ›”κΈ‰ λ°›μœΌλ©΄ λ‚¨λŠ” λˆμ€ μ „λΆ€ μ κΈˆμ— λ„£μ–΄μš”. μˆ˜μ§„ μ”¨λŠ” μ™œ 투자λ₯Ό ν•΄μš”?

    Jeoneun jusigeun museowoseo wolgeup badeumyeon namneun doneun jeonbu jeokgeume neoeoyo. Sujin ssineun wae tujareul haeyo?

    Stocks scare me, so whatever's left of my salary goes into a savings plan. Why do you invest?

  6. B 제 λͺ©ν‘œλŠ” μ„œλ₯Έλ‹€μ„― μ‚΄ 전에 카페λ₯Ό μ°½μ—…ν•˜λŠ” κ±°μ˜ˆμš”. μš”μ¦˜ κΈˆλ¦¬λ‘œλŠ” 적금만으둜 λͺ©λˆ λͺ¨μœΌκΈ°κ°€ λ„ˆλ¬΄ 였래 κ±Έλ¦¬λ”λΌκ³ μš”.

    Je mokpyoneun seoreundaseot sal jeone kapereul changeopaneun geoyeyo. Yojeum geumnironeun jeokgeummaneuro mokdon moeugiga neomu orae geollideoragoyo.

    My goal is to open my own cafΓ© before I'm thirty-five. With interest rates what they are, saving up a lump sum through savings alone takes far too long.

  7. A κ·Έλž˜λ„ 손싀이 λ‚˜λ©΄ μ–΄λ–‘ν•΄μš”? λ‰΄μŠ€μ— μ „ μž¬μ‚° λ‚ λ¦° μ‚¬λžŒλ“€ μ–˜κΈ° λ‚˜μ˜€λ©΄ λ¬΄μ„­λ˜λ°μš”.

    Geuraedo sonsiri namyeon eotteokaeyo? Nyuseue jeon jaesan nallin saramdeul yaegi naomyeon museopdeondeyo.

    But what if you make a loss? The stories on the news about people losing everything scare me.

  8. B 저도 μ²˜μŒμ—” κ·Έλž¬μ–΄μš”. 근데 μœ„ν—˜μ€ κ΄€λ¦¬ν•˜κΈ° λ‚˜λ¦„μ΄λ”λΌκ³ μš”. μ €λŠ” 맀달 μ €μΆ•ν•˜λŠ” 돈의 이십 νΌμ„ΌνŠΈλ§Œ 주식에 λ„£κ³ , λ‚˜λ¨Έμ§€λŠ” μ κΈˆμ— λ„£μ–΄μš”.

    I felt the same at first. But I found the risk depends on how you manage it. Each month I only put twenty percent of what I save into stocks, and the rest goes into savings.

  9. A μ’…λͺ©μ€ μ–΄λ–»κ²Œ κ³¨λΌμš”? μœ νŠœλΈŒμ—μ„œ μΆ”μ²œν•˜λŠ” κ±°μš”?

    Jongmogeun eotteoke gollayo? Yutyubeueseo chucheonhaneun geoyo?

    How do you pick stocks? The ones people recommend on YouTube?

  10. B μ•„λ‹ˆμš”, 그런 건 였히렀 μ•ˆ λ΄μš”. μ €λŠ” μ œκ°€ 잘 μ•„λŠ” λΆ„μ•Ό, κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‹ˆκΉŒ μ»€ν”Όλ‚˜ μ‹ν’ˆ νšŒμ‚¬ μœ„μ£Όλ‘œ μ‚¬μš”.

    Aniyo, geureon geon ohiryeo an bwayo. Jeoneun jega jal aneun bunya, geureonikka keopina sikpum hoesa wijuro sayo.

    No, I actually avoid those. I mostly buy in areas I know well, so coffee and food companies.

  11. A μ•„, 직접 μΌν•˜λ©΄μ„œ λ³΄λ‹ˆκΉŒ μ–΄λ–€ λΈŒλžœλ“œκ°€ 잘 νŒ”λ¦¬λŠ”μ§€ μ•„λŠ” κ±°λ„€μš”.

    A, jikjeop ilhamyeonseo bonikka eotteon beuraendeuga jal pallineunji aneun geoneyo.

    Ah, working here, you can see which brands sell well.

  12. B λ§žμ•„μš”. μš”μ¦˜ μ†λ‹˜λ“€μ΄ μ–΄λ–€ 우유λ₯Ό μ°ΎλŠ”μ§€λŠ” μ œκ°€ μ¦κΆŒμ‚¬ 직원보닀 잘 μ•Œκ±Έμš”?

    Majayo. Yojeum sonnimdeuri eotteon uyureul channeunjineun jega jeunggwonsa jigwonboda jal algeoryo?

    Exactly. I bet I know better than any stockbroker which milk customers are asking for these days.

  13. A ν•˜ν•˜, κ·Έ 말은 λ§žλ„€μš”. 그럼 ν•œ λ²ˆμ— 크게 μ‚¬μš”, μ•„λ‹ˆλ©΄ λ‚˜λˆ μ„œ μ‚¬μš”?

    Haha, geu mareun manneyo. Geureom han beone keuge sayo, animyeon nanwoseo sayo?

    Ha, that's true. So do you buy a lot at once, or a bit at a time?

  14. B 맀달 같은 λ‚  μ‘°κΈˆμ”© μ‚¬μš”. μ–Έμ œ 였λ₯΄κ³  λ–¨μ–΄μ§ˆμ§€λŠ” 아무도 λͺ¨λ₯΄λ‹ˆκΉŒμš”. κ²°κ΅­ μˆ˜μ΅μ€ 였래 버티기 λ‚˜λ¦„μ΄μ—μš”.

    Maedal gateun nal jogeumssik sayo. Eonje oreugo tteoreojiljineun amudo moreunikkayo. Gyeolguk suigeun orae beotigi nareumieyo.

    I buy a little on the same day every month. Nobody knows when prices will rise or fall. In the end, returns depend on how long you hold on.

  15. A λ“£λ‹€ λ³΄λ‹ˆ 저도 μ‘°κΈˆμ€ ν•΄ 볼까 μ‹Άλ„€μš”. 근데 μ κΈˆμ„ κΉ¨λŠ” 건 μ’€ μ•„κΉκ³ μš”.

    Deutda boni jeodo jogeumeun hae bolkka simneyo. Geunde jeokgeumeul kkaeneun geon jom akkapgoyo.

    Listening to you, I'm tempted to try a little. But I'd hate to break my savings plan.

  16. B κΉ¨μ§€ λ§ˆμ„Έμš”. μƒˆλ‘œ λ“€μ–΄μ˜€λŠ” λˆμ—μ„œ μ•„μ£Ό 쑰금만 μ‹œμž‘ν•΄ λ³΄μ„Έμš”. ν•œ 달에 컀피 λ‹€μ„― μž” κ°’ μ •λ„λ‘œμš”.

    Kkaeji maseyo. Saero deureooneun doneseo aju jogeumman sijakae boseyo. Han dare keopi daseot jan gap jeongdoroyo.

    Don't break it. Start with just a little from new money coming in. About the price of five coffees a month.

  17. A μ»€ν”Όκ°’μœΌλ‘œ νˆ¬μžλΌλ‹ˆ, μ—¬κΈ° 사μž₯λ‹˜μ΄ λ“€μœΌμ‹œλ©΄ μ„œμš΄ν•˜μ‹œκ² μ–΄μš”.

    Keopigapseuro tujarani, yeogi sajangnimi deureusimyeon seounhasigesseoyo.

    Investing my coffee money? The owner here would be hurt if she heard that.

  18. B μ‰Ώ, λ¬Έ μ—΄λ¦¬λŠ” μ†Œλ¦¬ λ‚˜μš”. 사μž₯λ‹˜ λ“€μ–΄μ˜€μ‹œλ €λ‚˜ λ΄μš”. λ‚˜μ€‘μ— 제 κ°€κ²Œ μ—΄λ©΄ 첫 μ†λ‹˜μœΌλ‘œ λͺ¨μ‹€κ²Œμš”.

    Swit, mun yeollineun sori nayo. Sajangnim deureoosiryeona bwayo. Najunge je gage yeolmyeon cheot sonnimeuro mosilgeyo.

    Shh, I hear the door. It sounds like the owner's coming in. When I open my own place one day, you'll be my first customer.

  19. A μ’‹μ•„μš”. κ·Έλ•ŒλŠ” μ œκ°€ μ£Όμ‹μœΌλ‘œ 번 돈으둜 제일 λΉ„μ‹Ό 메뉴 λ§ˆμ‹€κ²Œμš”.

    Joayo. Geuttaeneun jega jusigeuro beon doneuro jeil bissan menyu masilgeyo.

    Deal. And I'll order the most expensive drink with the money I made from stocks.
