On a TV morning show, host Kim Taeho (A) talks with economist Lee Jungmin (B), restaurant owner Park Sangcheol (C) and young renter Yoon Seoyeon (D) about rising prices and interest rates.

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.

    Good morning. This morning we start with grocery prices and loan rates. Dr. Lee Jungmin, as an economist, what's your outlook for interest rates in the second half of the year?

    I expect them to stay high for a while. Prices are still climbing, so there may even be one more rise.

    Mr. Park, how does it feel on the ground for a small business owner?

    Don't get me started. Cooking oil and vegetables have all gone up, so I make almost nothing on a bowl of kimchi stew. And now the interest on my business loan is rising too. I can barely breathe.

    I heard the place next door raised theirs by a thousand won and lost half their customers, so I just couldn't bring myself to. In a downturn, ordinary people cut back on eating out first.

    Yes. I took it out two years ago at a variable rate. But last month I heard rates would go up further, so I hurried to switch to a fixed rate.

    My coworkers were saying it, and everyone on YouTube was saying the same. I couldn't just sit there watching my interest go up every month.

    I understand how you felt. But fixed rates usually start higher than variable ones. If rates fall next year, you could actually lose out.

    Still, I know exactly how much will go out each month, so I have peace of mind.

    That stability is worth something. But switching just because people around you say rates will rise is risky. Even experts disagree about where things are heading.

    First, work out what share of your income goes on interest. And before switching loans, be sure to check the fees.

  16. D μ•„, μˆ˜μˆ˜λ£Œμš”... 사싀 그건 미처 확인을 λͺ» ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

    A, susuryoyo... sasil geugeon micheo hwagineul mot haetseumnida.

    Oh, the fees... To be honest, I didn't think to check that.

    I've been caught out like that a few times myself. Still, you've held out against rising interest for two years, so this will be a good lesson too.

    I've cut my menu in half, and I buy ingredients myself at the market at dawn. Right now, holding on is the best I can do.

    Yes, these are difficult times for both prices and rates. Finally, Mr. Park, a word for our viewers?

    My kimchi stew is still the same price. Please support the neighbourhood shops that are holding on, like mine.
