At the office, Haeun (B), who has just taken over her team's expense claims, pulls her coworker Seongmin (A) aside to talk about their team leader's receipts.
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.

Last week's receipt was for four people, plus a kids' set menu. I doubt a client brought their child along.

Haeun, I don't think we can let this go. If the person in charge knows and pretends not to, it could look like you helped with false claims when there's an audit.

That's what scares me most. But reporting the team leader feels like such a huge step. Who knows what work would be like after that.
