Dialogue 4

Hi all. How was your weekend? As the weather is getting cooler here, I went out shopping for a new pair of boots. But unfortunately I could not find ones I liked today. It looks like I need to spend the next weekend hunting for boots. I might as well talk about shopping next week. :)

But for today, here is a short dialogue between Clare and Minho on TV shows.


Clare: Do you watch any American dramas?
Minho: I regularly watch Lost.
Clare: Why do you like it?
Minho: The stories are not so predictable.
Clare: Did you watch the latest episode as well?
Minho: Yes. There is a shocking twist in the story.


Clare: 미국 드라마 보는 것이 있습니까?
Miguk drama bonun gussi itsumnika?
Minho: 나는 Lost를 규칙적으로 봅니다.
nanun Lostluel gyuchikjergero bomnida.
Clare: 왜 그 드라마를 좋아합니까?

Minho: 이야기가 너무 뻔하지 않아요.

Clare: 최신 에피소드도 보았습니까?

Minho: 네. 이야기에 충격적인 반전이 있었어요.

Good night!

Please top up 5000 won on my card.

Hi all. Isn't it daunting to figure out a bus fare, find the right coins or notes and make sure you get the correct changes and so on when you visit a country for the first time? I hereby declare that it is a thing in the past! :) We have something called T-money which you can use on bus, taxi and subway in Seoul and some other cities. You can even use it at a convenient store to pay for the goods. Most convenient stores sell T-money cards and you can top up T-money from there too. So use this when you visit Seoul if you don't want to come back with a bag full of coins. :) Please top up 5000 won on my T-money card. 티머니 카드에 오천원 충전해 주세요. 티머니, T-money, T-money 카드에, cardae, card + suffix 오천원, ohchunwon, 5000 + won 충전해, chungjonhae, recharge (충전하다) 주세요, jusaeyo, give me (주다) 티머니 카드에 오천원 충전해 주세요. T-money cardae ohchunwon chungjonhae jusaeyo. The won is the Korean currency. Thanks to the inflation over the past half-century, the numbers are quite big compared to their value. Your ch

From which exit should we meet?

Hi guys. Let's say, you have arrived at your subway station safely. That's great! But it is too soon to be relieved. You have accomplished only a half of the challenge and the second half is finding the right exit. :) You will see what I mean if you take a look at this map . It is where the city hall is and shows how many subway stations multiplied by the number of exits are concentrated in a small area. So, include the right exit number to your planning before you travel. A subway exit is great for a meeting spot so this expression might be helpful. :) From which exit should we meet? 몇번 출구에서 만날까요? 몇번, myotbun, which number 출구에서, chulgooaeso, exit + suffix 만날까요, mannalggayo, should we meet? (만나다) 몇번 출구에서 만날까요? myotbun chulgooaeso mannalggayo? 몇 means 'some unknown number' and 번 is a count word. There are different ways of counting in Korean as describe here . In short, '일, 이, 삼..' style is used for things in order while '하나, 둘, 셋..' style is for counting

I work out three times a week.

Hi guys. Hope your weekend is going well. Earlier this evening, I went to my friend's rock band gig. It was a weekend-hobby kind of band but their performance was great. Especially the bassist of the band was an old lady in her fifties! It was so inspirational to see people enjoying things they love against the odds. Why don't you start doing something you always wanted to do? Practice makes perfect. :) I work out three times a week. 나는 일주일에 세번 운동합니다. 나는, na + nun, I + suffix 일주일에, iljuil + ae, one week + suffix 세번, saebun, three times 운동합니다, undonghapnida, work out 나는 일주일에 세번 운동합니다. nanun iljuilae saebun undonghapnida. There are a few counter words in today's sentence. Let's first look at 일주일. The first 일 is one. 주일 is a week. How do we count ten in Korean? 1, 일, il 2, 이, yi 3, 삼, sam 4, 사, sa 5, 오, oh 6, 육, yook 7, 칠, chil 8, 팔, pal 9, 구, goo 10, 십, sip It would make our life so much easier if this is the only way to count numbers in Korean. We are not that lucky. :(
