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.

The press release for the Gyeongbokgung night openings has to go out next week. How's the draft coming along?

Yeogi isseoyo. Cheot munjangeun 'Gyeongbokgung yagan gwallami daeum dal 3ilbuteo sijakdoenda'ro sseosseoyo.
Here it is. I wrote the first sentence as 'Night visits to Gyeongbokgung begin on the 3rd of next month.'
-

Jom minmitaeyo. Gijadeuri geudaero gajyeoda sseul su itge gisa munjangcheoreom sseo jwoyo. Gwallamgaegi gyesok neulgo inneun bunwigido salligoyo.
It's a bit flat. Write it like a news sentence so reporters can use it as it is. And bring out the fact that visitor numbers keep rising.
-

Geureom 'yagan gwallamgaegi haemada neureonaneun gaunde olhaeneun gaebang gigani du ju yeonjangdoenda', ireoke sseumyeon eotteolkkayo?
Then how about: 'As night visitor numbers grow every year, this year's opening period will be extended by two weeks'?
-

Jonneyo. Gaemak haengsa bubuneun 'gungnaeoe gwallamgaegi chamseokan gaunde'ro sijakamyeon ttak bodo jaryo gatgesseoyo.
Good. If the opening-ceremony part starts with 'Attended by visitors from home and abroad,' it'll sound just like a press release.
-

Geureonde timjangnim, ampyo munjedo han jul neoeoya haji aneulkkayo? Jangnyeone pyoga myeot bae gagyeogeuro doepallyeotjanayo.
But, sir, shouldn't we add a line about ticket scalping? Last year tickets were resold at several times the price.
-
C 보λ μλ£μ κ΅³μ΄ μ μ’μ μκΈ°λ₯Ό λ£μ νμκ° μμκΉμ? νμ¬ νλ³΄κ° λͺ©μ μΈλ°μ.
Bodo jaryoe guji an joeun yaegireul neoeul piryoga isseulkkayo? Haengsa hongboga mokjeogindeyo.
Do we really need to put bad news in a press release? The point is to promote the event.
-

Sumgindago eopseojineun munjega anijanayo. Gijadeuri meonjeo mureobomyeon uriga moreuneun cheokaneun geotcheoreom boil geoyeyo.
Hiding it won't make it go away. If reporters ask first, it'll look like we're pretending not to know.
-
A λ μ¬λ λ€ μΌλ¦¬κ° μλ€μ. μ€νΈ μ¨λ λκ° μ μΌ κ±±μ μ΄μμ?
Du saram da illiga inneyo. Junho ssineun mwoga jeil geokjeongieyo?
You both have a point. Junho, what worries you most?
-

Cheot mundanbuteo ampyo yaegiga naomyeon gisa jemogi geujjogeuro ppopilkka bwa geokjeongieyo. Geureomyeon haengsa jacheneun muchyeo beorijanayo.
If scalping comes up in the first paragraph, I'm afraid the headlines will focus on that. Then the event itself gets buried.
-

Geureom maen kkeute daechaek wijuro neoeumyeon eottaeyo? 'Gongsik yemaecheoga anin goseseo san pyoroneun ipjanghal su eopda'cheoreomyo.
Then how about putting it at the very end, focused on the measures? Something like 'Tickets bought anywhere other than official sellers will not be valid for entry.'
-
A κ·Έκ² λ«κ² λ€μ. λ¬Έμ λ₯Ό μ리λ λμμ ν΄κ²°μ± λ λ³΄μ¬ μ£Όλ κ±°λκΉμ.
Geuge natgenneyo. Munjereul allineun dongsie haegyeolchaekdo boyeo juneun geonikkayo.
That's better. We'd be pointing out the problem and showing the solution at the same time.
-

Joseumnida. Geurigo sajineun jangnyeon haengsa ttae hanbogeul ibeun chaero Geunjeongjeon ape jul seo itdeon gwallamgaekdeul sajineul sseulkkayo?
Sounds good. And for the photo, shall we use the one from last year of visitors in hanbok lined up in front of Geunjeongjeon Hall?
-

I like that photo. But we need to check that everyone whose face can be recognised gave their consent.
-

Majayo. Chosanggwon munjeneun jageun silsurado keuge beonjigi swiunikkayo.
Right. With image rights, even a small slip can easily blow up.
-

I'll check with the photographer. I'll also get a few more night shots of Gyeonghoeru Pavilion lit up.
-

Good. Yujin, please polish the paragraph on the scalping measures and share it by the end of today.
-

Ne, yemaecheo damdangjarang tonghwahaeseo jeonghwakan sutjado neoeulgeyo.
Sure. I'll call the ticketing contact and add the exact figures too.
-
