Day 127: Banning Kids From Social Media?
At her sister's flat, Hyejin (A), a young aunt, helps her ten-year-old niece Seoyun (B) prepare for a class debate.
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.

Auntie, I've got a debate in class next week. The topic is 'Banning social media for kids: for or against.'
-
A ์ค, ์ด๋ ค์ด ์ฃผ์ ๋ค. ํธ์ฃผ๋ ์ง์ง๋ก ์ด์ฌ์ฏ ์ด ์๋๋ SNS ๋ชป ํ๊ฒ ๋ฒ๊น์ง ๋ง๋ค์์์. ๋ ์ด๋ ์ชฝ์ด์ผ?
O, eoryeoun jujene. Hojuneun jinjjaro yeoryeoseot sal araeneun SNS mot hage beopkkaji mandeureotjana. Neon eoneu jjogiya?
Ooh, tough topic. Australia actually passed a law banning social media for under-sixteens. Which side are you on?
-
B ๋๋ ์ฐฌ์ฑ ์ชฝ ๋์ด. ๊ทผ๋ฐ ์ฌ์ค ๋ด ์๊ฐ์ ๋ฐ๋์ผ. ๋๋ ์ ํ๋ธ ๊ณ์ ๋ณด๊ณ ์ถ๊ฑฐ๋ .
Naneun chanseong jjok dwaesseo. Geunde sasil nae saenggageun bandaeya. Nado Yutyubeu gyesok bogo sipgeodeun.
I got put on the 'for' side. But actually, I'm against it. I want to keep watching YouTube.
-
A ๊ทธ๋ผ ์ฐ์ต์ผ๋ก ์ด๋ชจ๊ฐ ๋ฐ๋ ์ชฝ์ ํ ๊ฒ. ๋ค๊ฐ ์ฐฌ์ฑํ๋ ์ด์ ๋ฅผ ๋ ๋ด.
Geureom yeonseubeuro imoga bandae jjogeul halge. Nega chanseonghaneun iyureul dae bwa.
Then for practice, I'll take the 'against' side. Give me your reasons for the ban.

Eum... SNSreul orae hamyeon jamdo mot jago, gongbuedo agyeonghyangi isseo. Nappeun daetgeul ttaemune ttadollimeul danghaneun aedeuldo itgo.
Um... If you use social media too long, you can't sleep, and it's bad for your schoolwork. And some kids get bullied because of nasty comments.
-
A ๊ทธ๊ฑด ์ด๋ฅธ๋ ๋ง์ฐฌ๊ฐ์ง์์. ๊ทธ๋ฐ๋ฐ ์ ๋์ด๋ฅผ ๊ฐ์ง๊ณ ๋ง์? ์ด์ฌ์ฏ ์ด์ ๋๊ณ ์ด๋ค์ฏ ์ด์ ์ ๋๋ ์ด์ ๊ฐ ๋ญ๋ฐ?
Geugeon eoreundo machangajijana. Geureonde wae naireul gajigo maga? Yeoryeoseot sareun doego yeoldaseot sareun an doeneun iyuga mwonde?
Adults have the same problems. So why block it by age? Why is it okay at sixteen but not at fifteen?
-
B ์ด... ์ด๋ฅธ์ ์ค์ค๋ก ์กฐ์ ํ ์ ์์ผ๋๊น?
Eo... eoreuneun seuseuro jojeolhal su isseunikka?
Um... because adults can control themselves?
-
A ์ด๋ชจ๋ ์ด์ ฏ๋ฐค์ ์๋ฒฝ ๋ ์๊น์ง ์ผ์ธ ๋ดค๋๋ฐ?
Imoneun eojetbame saebyeok du sikkaji syocheu bwanneunde?
Well, I watched Shorts until two in the morning last night.
-

Geugeon imoga isanghan geogo! A, geunde deutda bonikka nairo jareuneun geon jom bulgongpyeonghan geot gata.
That's just you being weird! Oh, but the more I listen, the more cutting it off by age seems kind of unfair.
-
A ๋ฒ์จ ๋ง์์ด ๋ฐ๋ ์ชฝ์ผ๋ก ๊ธฐ์ด ๋ฏํ๋ฐ? ๊ทธ๋ผ ํ ๋ก ์์ ์ง๋ ๊ฑฐ์ผ.
Beolsseo maeumi bandae jjogeuro giun deutande? Geureom toroneseo jineun geoya.
Sounds like you're already leaning toward the other side. Then you'll lose the debate.
-
B ์, ์ ๋ผ! ๋ค์ ์ฐฌ์ฑ์ผ๋ก ๋์๊ฐ๋. ์ด๋ชจ, ๊ทธ๋ผ ๋ฐ๋ ์ชฝ์์ ์ ์ผ ์ผ ์ด์ ๊ฐ ๋ญ์ผ?
A, an dwae! Dasi chanseongeuro doragallae. Imo, geureom bandae jjogeseo jeil sen iyuga mwoya?
Oh no! I'm switching back to 'for.' Then what's the strongest argument against?
-
A ๋ง์๋ ์ ๋ค์ ์๋ง ์์ด๋๋ก ๋ชฐ๋ ํ์์. ๊ทธ๋ฌ๋ฉด ๋ถ๋ชจ๊ฐ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ ๋ฐ์ ์คํ๋ ค ๋ ์ํํด์ ธ.
Magado aedeureun eomma aidiro mollae hajana. Geureomyeon bumoga moreuneun deseo ohiryeo deo wiheomhaejyeo.
Even with a ban, kids sneak on with their mom's account. Then it's actually more dangerous, because the parents don't know.
-
B ๊ทธ๊ฑด ๊ทธ๋. ์ฐ๋ฆฌ ๋ฐ์๋ ๋ชฐ๋ ๊ณ์ ๋ง๋ ์ ๋ค ์์ด.
Geugeon geurae. Uri banedo mollae gyejeong mandeun aedeul isseo.
That's true. Some kids in my class have secret accounts.
-

Geurigo mujogeon chadanhaneun geon neomu geukdanjeogiya. SNSro chingudeurirang sukje yaegido hago, joeun jeongbodo eotjana.
And blocking it outright is too extreme. You talk about homework with friends on social media and find good information, too.
-
B ๊ทธ๋ผ ์ด๋ ๊ฒ ํ๋ฉด ๋๊ฒ ๋ค. ์์ ํ ๋ง๋ ๋์ ์ด๋ค ์ด๊น์ง๋ ๋ถ๋ชจ๋์ด๋ ๊ฐ์ด ์ฐ๋ ๊ณ์ ๋ง ํ๋ฝํ๋ ๊ฑฐ์ผ!
Geureom ireoke hamyeon doegetda. Wanjeonhi mangneun daesin yeolle salkkajineun bumonimirang gachi sseuneun gyejeongman heorakaneun geoya!
Then we could do this! Instead of banning it completely, only allow accounts shared with parents until fourteen!
-
A ์ค, ์ค๋๋ ฅ ์๋๋ฐ? ์ฐฌ์ฑ๋ ๋ฐ๋๋ ์๋ ์๋ก์ด ์์ด๋ค. ์ ์๋์ด ์ธ์ ํด ์ฃผ์ค์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๊ฒ ์ง๋ง.
O, seoldeungnyeok inneunde? Chanseongdo bandaedo anin saeroun anine. Seonsaengnimi injeonghae jusiljineun moreugetjiman.
Ooh, that's convincing. It's a new proposal, neither for nor against. Not sure your teacher will accept it, though.
-
B ์ด๋ชจ, ๋ฐ๋ฐํ ํ ๋ฉด ํด ๋ด. ๋์ ์ด์ ๋ ์ธ ๊ฐ ๋์ผ ๋ผ.
Imo, banbakal temyeon hae bwa. Daesin iyuneun se gae daeya dwae.
Auntie, argue against it if you can. But you have to give three reasons.
-
A ์ข์. ์ฒซ์งธ, ๋ถ๋ชจ๊ฐ ๋ฐ๋น ์ ๊ฐ์ด ๋ชป ๋ณด๋ ์ง์?
Joa. Cheotjjae, bumoga bappaseo gachi mot boneun jibeun?
Okay. First, what about families where the parents are too busy to use it together?
-
B ๊ทธ๋ฐ ์ง์... ์... ๊ทธ๊ฑด ํ ๋ก ๋๋๊ณ ์๊ฐํ ๋!
Geureon jibeun... eum... geugeon toron kkeunnago saenggakallae!
Those families... um... I'll think about that after the debate!
-
A ํํ, ๊ทธ ์ง๋ฌธ ๋์ค๋ฉด ๋ฐ๋ก ๋๋๊ฒ ๋ค. ๋ด์ผ๊น์ง ๋ต ์๊ฐํด ๋.
Haha, geu jilmun naomyeon baro kkeunnagetda. Naeilkkaji dap saenggakae nwa.
Ha ha, if that question comes up, you're done for. Have an answer ready by tomorrow.
