   A 어머, 이런 데 비석이 있었네요? 맨날 지나다니면서도 몰랐어요.

   Oh my, there's a stone marker here? I walk past every day and never noticed.

   B 저도 지난주에 처음 봤어요. 궁금해서 검색해 보니까 조선 시대 학자 집터더라고요.

   Jeodo jinanjue cheoeum bwasseoyo. Gunggeumhaeseo geomsaekae bonikka Joseon sidae hakja jipteodeoragoyo.

   I only noticed it last week myself. I was curious and looked it up, and it turns out a Joseon-era scholar's house stood here.

   A 집터요? 이 좁은 골목에요?

   B 네. 옛날엔 여기가 다 큰 기와집이었대요. 그 학자가 여기서 제자들을 모아 가르쳤고요.

   Ne. Yennaren yeogiga da keun giwajibieotdaeyo. Geu hakjaga yeogiseo jejadeureul moa gareuchyeotgoyo.

   Yes. Apparently this was all one big tiled-roof house back then. The scholar gathered students and taught them here.

   B 더 놀라운 건, 찾아보니까 이 인근에만 이런 표석이 열 개가 넘더라고요.

   Deo nollaun geon, chajabonikka i ingeuneman ireon pyoseogi yeol gaega neomdeoragoyo.

   What's more surprising is that when I looked, there are more than ten markers like this just around here.

   Line 6

   A 열 개나요? 그럼 우리가 매일 역사 위를 걸어 다닌 셈이네요.

   Yeol gaenayo? Geureom uriga maeil yeoksa wireul georeo danin semineyo.

   Ten? So we've been walking on history every day.

   B 저 모퉁이 세탁소 앞에도 하나 있어요. 거기는 옛날 관청 자리래요.

   Jeo motungi setakso apedo hana isseoyo. Geogineun yennal gwancheong jariraeyo.

   There's one in front of the dry cleaner's on the corner, too. Apparently that was the site of an old government office.

   A 세탁소 앞이요? 화분에 가려서 안 보였나 봐요.

   Setakso apiyo? Hwabune garyeoseo an boyeonna bwayo.

   In front of the dry cleaner's? The flower pots must have been hiding it.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 네, 화분 뒤에 반쯤 가려져 있더라고요. 누가 일부러 숨긴 것처럼요.

    Ne, hwabun dwie banjjeum garyeojyeo itdeoragoyo. Nuga ilbureo sumgin geotcheoreomyo.

    Yes, it's half hidden behind the pots. As if someone had hidden it on purpose.

    A 아쉽네요. 동네 애들은 이런 거 하나도 모를 텐데요.

    Aswimneyo. Dongne aedeureun ireon geo hanado moreul tendeyo.

    What a shame. The kids around here won't know a thing about this.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 그래서 말인데요, 우리가 애들 데리고 골목 역사 산책 같은 걸 해 보면 어떨까요?

    Geuraeseo marindeyo, uriga aedeul derigo golmok yeoksa sanchaek gateun geol hae bomyeon eotteolkkayo?

    That's what I was going to say. How about we take the kids on a sort of history walk through the alleys?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 좋은 생각이에요! 표석마다 서서 이야기를 하나씩 들려주는 거죠?

    Joeun saenggagieyo! Pyoseongmada seoseo iyagireul hanassik deullyeojuneun geojyo?

    Great idea! We'd stop at each marker and tell them a story?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 네. 제가 자료를 찾아서 안내문을 만들게요. 동네 이름의 유래 같은 것도 넣고요.

    Ne. Jega jaryoreul chajaseo annaemuneul mandeulgeyo. Dongne ireumui yurae gateun geotdo neokoyo.

    Yes. I'll dig up the material and make a guide sheet. With things like where the neighbourhood's name comes from.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그럼 저는 동네 학부모 단톡방에 올려서 참가할 애들을 모아 볼게요. 간식도 준비하고요.

    Geureom jeoneun dongne hakbumo dantokbange ollyeoseo chamgahal aedeureul moa bolgeyo. Gansikdo junbihagoyo.

    Then I'll post it in the neighbourhood parents' group chat and round up some kids. I'll bring snacks too.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 코스는 한 시간 정도로 짧게 해요. 애들이 지루해하면 역사가 싫어지기가 쉽거든요.

    Koseuneun han sigan jeongdoro jjalge haeyo. Aedeuri jiruhaehamyeon yeoksaga sireojigiga swipgeodeunyo.

    Let's keep the route short, about an hour. If the kids get bored, they can easily end up hating history.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 맞아요. 마지막엔 이 표석 앞에서 퀴즈를 내요. 맞힌 애한테는 붕어빵 사 주고요.

    Majayo. Majimagen i pyoseok apeseo kwijeureul naeyo. Machin aehanteneun bungeoppang sa jugoyo.

    Right. And at the end, we'll hold a quiz in front of this marker. Whoever gets it right gets a fish-shaped pastry.
