Day 112: The Group Project I Did Alone
In the classroom after lessons, Hayun (A), a twelve-year-old pupil, stays behind to talk to her homeroom teacher (B) about her group project.
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.

Can I talk to you for a minute? It's about the group project.

Of course. Your group did a great job presenting yesterday. What's up?

Geu balpyo jaryo, sasil geoui da jega mandeureosseoyo. Josado, geurimdo, daebondoyo. Balpyojado jeoyeotgoyo.
Actually, I made almost all of those presentation materials. The research, the pictures, the script too. And I was the presenter.
-

Jeonbu da? Nesiseo yeokhareul nanugiro han geo anieosseo?
All of it? Weren't the four of you going to split the roles?
-

Cheoeumen nanwosseoyo. Geunde Minjunineun jaryoreul an bonaego, Jianeun hagwon ttaemune bappeudago gyesok mirwosseoyo.
We did at first. But Minjun never sent his part, and Jia kept putting hers off because she was busy with cram school.
-
B κ·Έλμ λ°ν μ λ κΉμ§ νΌμ λ€ λ λ§‘μꡬλ.
Geuraeseo balpyo jeonnalkkaji honja da tteomatatguna.
So you ended up carrying the whole thing alone, right up to the day before.
-

Bam yeolhan sikkaji haesseoyo. Geunde nesi jeomsuga da ttokgatdaniyo. Igeon gongpyeonghaji anayo.
I was up until eleven. And now all four of us get the same mark? That's not fair.

Soksanghaetgetda. Geuraedo seonsaengnimeun i malbuteo hago sipeo. Geu maneun geol honjaseo kkeutkkaji mandeureo naetguna. Jeongmal daegyeonhae.
That must have been upsetting. But I want to say this first: you saw all that work through to the end on your own. I'm really proud of you.
-

I didn't tell you so you'd praise me. What if this happens again next time?

Maja, geuge jinjja munjeji. Hayunineun modum gwajereul wae handago saenggakae?
Right, that's the real problem. Why do you think we do group projects?
-

Um... so we can split the work because it's hard alone?

Geugeotdo itji. Geunde deo jungyohan geon hyeopdonghaneun beobeul baeuneun geoya. Eoreundeuldo hoesaeseo maeil geugeol yeonseupae.
That's part of it. But more importantly, it's to learn how to cooperate. Grown-ups practise that at work every day, too.
-
A νμ¬μμλμ? μ΄λ₯Έλ€μ λ€ μμμ μνλ μ€ μμμ΄μ.
Hoesaeseodoyo? Eoreundeureun da araseo jalhaneun jul arasseoyo.
At work too? I thought grown-ups just knew how to do it.
-

Ani, eoreundeuldo jal motae. Timwon jungeneun ireul an haneun saramdo itgo, honja da haryeoneun saramdo isseo. Dul da timeneun jochi ana.
Not at all. Grown-ups struggle with it too. Some team members don't do their part, and some try to do everything themselves. Neither is good for a team.
-
A νΌμ λ€ νλ κ²λμ? μ λ μ± μκ° μκ² ν 건λ°μ.
Honja da haneun geotdoyo? Jeoneun chaegimgam itge han geondeyo.
Doing everything yourself too? I was just being responsible.
-

Chaegimgameun hullyunghae. Geunde nega da hae beorimyeon Minjunineun jagi mokseul hal gihoega eopjana. Dowa dallago malhaneun geotdo neungnyeogiya.
Being responsible is great. But if you do it all, Minjun never gets the chance to do his share. Asking for help is a skill too.
-

Geureom daeumen eotteoke haeyo?
So what do I do next time?
-

Yeokhalpyoreul mandeureoseo naljjakkaji jeogeo boja. Geurigo nuga yaksogeul an jikimyeon baro seonsaengnimhante malhae. Honja chama naeji malgo.
Let's make a chart of who does what, with deadlines. And if anyone doesn't keep their promise, tell me right away. Don't just put up with it on your own.
-
A λ€! μν νλ μ κ° λ§λ€μ΄ μ¬κ²μ. μ, κ·ΈλΌ μ΄κ²λ μ κ° νΌμ νλ κ±°λ€μ?
Ne! Yeokhalpyoneun jega mandeureo olgeyo. A, geureom igeotdo jega honja haneun geoneyo?
Okay! I'll make the chart and bring it in. Oh wait, so I'm doing this on my own too?
