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
- 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.

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.

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.
