| INTRODUCTION |
| Tim: 안녕하세요 (Annyeonghaseyo) KoreanClass101.com 여러분 (yeoreobun). 팀입니다. (Tim imnida.) |
| Debbie: Debbie here. There's No Time Like the Present in Korea! |
| Tim: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to KoreanClass101.com. The fastest, easiest, and... |
| Debbie: The most fun way to learn Korean! I am joined in the studio by... |
| Tim: Tim! 여러분 잘 지내셨어요? |
| Debbie: Hmm... Tim, we haven't learned about that expression yet. Why don't we explain what you just said? I think that can be a very useful expression for many listeners. |
| Tim: Sure! First, 여러분 means "everybody". |
| Debbie: You can also substitute "everybody" with another name, such as... 팀. "팀, 잘 지내셨어요?" |
| Tim: And... 잘 means "good or well". |
| Debbie: 지내셨어요? means, "How have you been?" so altogether "Hello everyone, how have you been?" is...? |
| Tim: 안녕하세요 여러분 "Hello everyone", 잘 지내셨어요? "How have you been?" |
| Debbie: Since that's a very formal expression of "How have you been?"...what would be an informal way to say, "How have you been?"? |
| Tim: 잘 지냈어? |
| Debbie: How would you greet someone who is younger than you? |
| Tim: 잘 지냈어? "Hey! How have you been?" |
| Debbie: Then how would you greet who is older than you? |
| Tim: 잘 지내셨어요? "Hello. How have you been, sir or ma'am?" |
| Debbie: Great! Now let's start talking about today's lesson. What are we learning today? |
| Tim: Today we are going to learn about the preposition, 에, which means "at or in" in English. |

| Debbie: I knew it. But why do you wake up at 5? |
| Tim: (부끄러워하며 embarrassed) To use the bathroom... |
| Debbie: I see. It's okay. I wake up early to use the bathroom, too. By the way, Tim...Do you know about rush hour'? |

| Debbie: (한심한 목소리로 hopeless voice) Oh, Tim! No! I am (강조하며) "NOT" talking about the movie, "Rush Hour". I am talking about (강조하며 emphasizing) the rush hour in Korea in the morning! |
| Tim: Oh...THAT rush hour! It's between 일곱시 부터 "from 7" 여덟시 까지 "to 8" in the morning. |
| Debbie: Okay, listeners. If you visit Korea, please be aware of "rush hour" traffic! Roads, sidewalks and subway stations are crowded and jam-packed with cars and people during rush hour, so try to avoid commuting during these times. |

| Tim: That's the main point of today's lesson! |
| Debbie: Got it! Well, then let's move on to the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Debbie: The focus of this lesson is about the 'Preposition of Time', "에", which means "at, in, on" in English. |
| Tim: Yes. The preposition of time, 에, indicates the time when attached to a noun. Can you give us examples, Debbie? |
| Debbie: Sure. We've learned about the seven days of the week in Korean throughout Absolute Beginner Season 2, Lesson 8, so let's quickly review that first. Can you start this off, Tim? |
| Tim: 일요일 |
| Debbie: "Sunday" |
| Tim: 월요일 |

| Debbie: And how about (강조하며) "on" October 18th? |
| Tim: 시월 십팔일 (강조하며) "에" |
| Debbie: How about Christmas day? (강조하며) "On" Dec 25th is... |
| Tim: October is 시월. November is 십일 월 and "December" is 십이 월. 십이 "월"! |

| Tim: 십이 월 이십 오일 (강조하며) "에" |
| Debbie: Great! Now let's try a few examples with time. (강조하며) "At" 1 o'clock is...? |
| Tim: "one" 한 + "o'clock" 시, 한 시...So "at" 1 o'clock is 한시"에" |
| Debbie: (강조하며) "At" 2 o'clock is...? |
| Tim: "Two" 두 + "o'clock" 시 is 두 시, which means "at" 2 o'clock is 두시 "에". Listeners, please repeat after me. 한 시에, 두시에. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Great! We've just learned about "morning, afternoon, and evening" from the lesson vocabulary. "Morning" is..? |
| Tim: 아침. So (강조하며) "in" the morning is...? |
| Debbie: 아침"에". How about "afternoon"? |
| Tim: 점심. So (강조하며) "in" the afternoon is...? |
| Debbie: 점심"에". How about "evening"? |
| Tim: 저녁. So (강조하며) "in" the evening is...? |

| [pause] |
| Tim: 점심"에" |
| [pause] |
| Tim: 저녁"에" |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Excellent! Listeners, please remember that "Time (Noun)" + 에 (e) "at, in" means "at" a certain time. |
