| Misun: At a Korean bar. |
| Keith: And the conversation is between… |
| Misun: Two friends, 친구. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Keith: Minsun, do you like cocktail soju? 칵테일 소주 좋아하세요? |
| Misun: Of course, 좋아해요. 아주 많이 좋아해요. |
| Keith: Well one thing I know about cocktail soju is…it's dangerous! |
| Misun: That’s true. That's because it just tastes like juice! You don't know that you're drinking a lot, sometimes. |
| Keith: Yah, it’s alcohol but it taste like juice. It's like, “let’s drink gallons of this delicious juice!!!!” |
| Misun: Yes. And there's all different kinds of flavors. |
| Keith: 네. 맞아요. |
| Misun: Like apple, watermelon, yogurt, strawberry. |
| Keith: And a ton of other flavors too. But you know what, I don’t think there’s cheese right? |
| Misun: No, I don't think so. That’s why in the conversation it’s like, “eck!” |
| Keith: Yeah, it’s kind a gross. And I don't think that flavor would do very well in Korea, by the way. |

| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Keith: All right. Well, let’s have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Misun: The first word we’ll look at is, 소주. |
| Keith: And this is Korean rice wine. And we just want to explain culturally, what this drink means in Korea. |
| Misun: 네. This is the alcoholic drink of choice for Korean. |
| Keith: Right. And soju is very inexpensive. |
| Misun: 네. And I love soju. It's anywhere from a 1,000 won to 3,000 won, right? |
| Keith: Right, and that’s extremely cheap, and very abundant. |
| Misun: 네. And of course it's used often in social situations. |
| Keith: Yeah. Like in most cultures, alcohol is a social lubricant. |
| Misun: 네. So, for example, when you go to a new job, often the company goes out for 삼겹살 and 소주. |
| Keith: Meat and alcohol. |
| Misun: That’s right. Also, if a couple is getting married, the father-in-law will used to have the son-in-law drink. |
| Keith: Right. They like to see how they will act when intoxicated. |
| Misun: That’s true. So culturally, alcohol is used in Korea like in many cultures. |
| Keith: But since soju is so cheap and abundant, that's most likely the drink of choice. |
| Misun: Enough about soju. Let's take a look at our focus for this lesson. |
Lesson focus |
| Keith: Well, the focus of this lesson is the construction -ㄹ/을래. |
| Misun: We use this to show a desired intention for the future. |
| Keith: Yup. We often translate it as "want to (verb)." |
| Misun: 네. You can use it with a lot of verbs, but let’s focus on the verb that was used in this lesson, 마실래. |
| Keith: And that comes from the verb… |
| Misun: 마시다 |
| Keith: And that means "to drink." So what was it together with the construction? |
| Misun: 마시 - 을래. So, it becomes 마실래 |
| Keith: Right, which is translated as, "want to drink." |
| Misun: And if you want to be more polite, you can say 마실래요. |
| Keith: Exactly. Just add 요 at the end. |
| Misun: 네. The formation is a bit complicated, so we just want to give this as phrase without going too much into the grammar. |
| Keith: Yeah, but you can check the Lesson Notes to see how to construct this with verbs other than 마시다, “to drink.” |
| Misun: Let's go over a list of other useful verbs then. |
| Keith: Ok, some of our listeners may not be thirsty, but may be hungry. |
| Misun: I am hungry. In that case, they can say, 먹을래요. |
| Keith: “I want to eat.” |
| Misun: If you're sleepy afterwards, you can say 잘래요 |
| Keith: "I want to sleep." |
| Misun: If you want to go home you can say... 갈래요 |
| Keith: "I want to go." Going back to 마실래요, let’s take a look and see how it came out in the conversation. |
| Misun: First it came out as 뭐 마실래? |
| Keith: “What do you want to drink?” And again, this is informal Korean. In more polite words... |
| Misun: You just add 요 at the end. 뭐 마실래요? |
| Keith: Then they decided they would drink cocktail soju. |
| Misun: 음… 칵테일 소주 마실래! |
| Keith: And finally, the cocktail soju that doesn't exist, cheese soju. |
| Misun: 난 치즈 소주 마실래. |
| Keith: Great. Well, let’s wrap things up. We have a few Sample Sentences to wrap it up. |
| Misun: 한국으로 갈래요. |
| Keith: "I want to go to Korea." |
| Misun: 나는 오늘 결혼할래. |
| Keith: "I want to get married today." |
Outro |
| Keith: All right. Well, that just about does it for today. |
| Misun: Great. |
| Keith: Alright, bye-bye everyone. |
| Misun: 안녕히 계세요 여러분. (Annyeonghaseyo yeoreobun). |
