Day 115 of 160

Day 115: Spoilers at the Café Counter

At a neighbourhood café, Yerin (A), a customer, chats with Daeun (B), the barista, who writes film reviews online.

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.

  1. B 주문하신 아이스 아메리카노 나왔습니다.

    Jumunhasin aiseu amerikano nawatseumnida.

    Here's your iced Americano.

  2. A 감사합니다. 저, 혹시 블로그에 영화 리뷰 쓰시는 분 맞죠? 친구가 알려 줬어요.

    Gamsahamnida. Jeo, hoksi beullogeue yeonghwa ribyu sseusineun bun matjyo? Chinguga allyeo jwosseoyo.

    Thanks. Um, you're the one who writes film reviews on a blog, right? A friend told me.

  3. B 어머, 들켰네요. 맞아요. 취미로 쓰는 건데 좀 부끄럽네요.

    Eomeo, deulkyeonneyo. Majayo. Chwimiro sseuneun geonde jom bukkeureomneyo.

    Oh, you caught me. Yes, that's me. It's just a hobby, so it's a bit embarrassing.

  4. A 요즘 다들 '밤의 증인' 얘기만 하던데, 볼 만해요? 이번 주말에 영화관 가려고요.

    Yojeum dadeul 'bamui jeungin' yaegiman hadeonde, bol manhaeyo? Ibeon jumare yeonghwagwan garyeogoyo.

    Everyone's been talking about 'Night Witness' lately. Is it worth seeing? I'm thinking of going to the cinema this weekend.

  5. B 완전 추천해요. 저는 시사회에서 봤는데, 마지막 이십 분은 소름이 돋았어요. 주인공이 사실 그날 밤에...

    Wanjeon chucheonhaeyo. Jeoneun sisahoeeseo bwanneunde, majimak isip buneun soreumi dodasseoyo. Juingongi sasil geunal bame...

    I totally recommend it. I saw it at a preview screening, and the last twenty minutes gave me goosebumps. It turns out the main character, that night...

  6. A 잠깐만요! 말하지 마세요! 저 아직 아무것도 몰라요.

    Jamkkanmanyo! Malhaji maseyo! Jeo ajik amugeotdo mollayo.

    Wait! Don't say it! I don't know anything yet.

  7. B 앗, 죄송해요. 버릇이 돼서요. 근데 개봉하기가 바쁘게 결말이 댓글로 다 퍼져서, 다들 아시는 줄 알았어요.

    At, joesonghaeyo. Beoreusi dwaeseoyo. Geunde gaebonghagiga bappeuge gyeolmari daetgeullo da peojyeoseo, dadeul asineun jul arasseoyo.

    Oops, sorry. It's become a habit. But the ending spread all over the comments the moment it came out, so I thought everyone knew.

  8. A 그래서 제가 요즘 유튜브도 안 보고 단톡방 알림도 다 꺼 놨어요.

    Geuraeseo jega yojeum Yutyubeudo an bogo dantokbang allimdo da kkeo nwasseoyo.

    That's why I've stopped watching YouTube and muted all my group chats.

  9. B 그렇게까지요? 솔직히 저는 스포일러가 영화를 망친다고 생각 안 해요.

    Geureokekkajiyo? Soljiki jeoneun Seupoilleoga yeonghwareul mangchindago saenggak an haeyo.

    You've gone that far? Honestly, I don't think spoilers ruin films.

  10. A 네? 반전 영화인데요? 범인을 알고 보면 무슨 재미예요?

    Ne? Banjeon yeonghwaindeyo? Beomineul algo bomyeon museun jaemiyeyo?

    What? It's a twist movie! Where's the fun if you know who did it?

  11. B 좋은 영화는 결말을 알아도 재미있어요. 저는 두 번째 볼 때 감독이 곳곳에 숨겨 둔 단서가 보여서 더 좋았어요.

    Joeun yeonghwaneun gyeolmareul arado jaemiisseoyo. Jeoneun du beonjjae bol ttae gamdogi gotgose sumgyeo dun danseoga boyeoseo deo joasseoyo.

    A good film is enjoyable even if you know the ending. The second time I watched it, I could spot the clues the director had hidden everywhere, and I liked it even more.

  12. A 그건 두 번째니까 그렇죠. 처음 볼 때 그 긴장감은 한 번뿐이잖아요.

    Geugeon du beonjjaenikka geureochyo. Cheoeum bol ttae geu ginjanggameun han beonppunijanayo.

    That's because it was your second time. That tension the first time you watch only happens once.

  13. B 그 말도 맞아요. 이번 감독이 대단한 게, 그 반전을 마지막 장면까지 완벽하게 숨겨 냈거든요. 관객들이 아무도 눈치를 못 챘대요.

    Geu maldo majayo. Ibeon gamdogi daedanhan ge, geu banjeoneul majimak jangmyeonkkaji wanbyeokage sumgyeo naetgeodeunyo. Gwangaekdeuri amudo nunchireul mot chaetdaeyo.

    You've got a point. What's impressive about this director is that he kept the twist perfectly hidden right up to the last scene. They say nobody in the audience saw it coming.

  14. A 아, 그것도 말하지 마세요! 이제 마지막 장면만 기다리면서 보게 되잖아요.

    A, geugeotdo malhaji maseyo! Ije majimak jangmyeonman gidarimyeonseo boge doejanayo.

    Ugh, don't tell me that either! Now I'll spend the whole film waiting for the last scene.

  15. B 하하, 알겠어요. 그럼 배우들 연기 얘기만 할게요. 연기는 진짜 좋아요.

    Haha, algesseoyo. Geureom baeudeul yeongi yaegiman halgeyo. Yeongineun jinjja joayo.

    Ha ha, okay. Then I'll only talk about the acting. The acting really is great.

  16. A 그 정도는 괜찮아요. 근데 진짜로 결말을 알아도 재미있어요? 저 같으면 영화관 가기 싫어질 것 같은데요.

    Geu jeongdoneun gwaenchanayo. Geunde jinjjaro gyeolmareul arado jaemiisseoyo? Jeo gateumyeon yeonghwagwan gagi sireojil geot gateundeyo.

    That's fine. But is it really still fun if you know the ending? I think I'd lose all interest in going.

  17. B 그런 연구 결과도 있어요. 결말을 미리 알고 본 사람들이 오히려 더 재미있게 봤대요. 스토리를 따라가기가 편해서요.

    Geureon yeongu gyeolgwado isseoyo. Gyeolmareul miri algo bon saramdeuri ohiryeo deo jaemiitge bwatdaeyo. Seutorireul ttaragagiga pyeonhaeseoyo.

    There's research on that. People who knew the ending beforehand actually enjoyed it more. The story was easier to follow.

  18. A 그래도 저는 모르고 볼래요. 대신 보고 나서 블로그 리뷰는 꼭 읽을게요.

    Geuraedo jeoneun moreugo bollaeyo. Daesin bogo naseo beullogeu ribyuneun kkok ilgeulgeyo.

    Still, I'd rather go in knowing nothing. But I'll definitely read your blog review afterwards.

  19. B 좋아요. 보고 오시면 커피 한 잔 서비스로 드릴게요. 그때 마음껏 얘기해요.

    Joayo. Bogo osimyeon keopi han jan seobiseuro deurilgeyo. Geuttae maeumkkeot yaegihaeyo.

    Deal. When you've seen it, the coffee's on me. We can talk all we want then.

  20. A 약속이에요. 그리고 아까 들은 '그날 밤에'는 빨리 잊어버릴게요.

    Yaksogieyo. Geurigo akka deureun 'geunal bame'neun ppalli ijeobeorilgeyo.

    It's a promise. And I'll try to forget the 'that night' I just heard.
