| Tim: 안녕하세요, KoreanClass101.com 여러분, Tim here. |
| Debbie: 안녕하세요, 여러분! Debbie Here! Thanks again for being here with us for this All About lesson. Tim, what do you have for us today? |
| Tim: Hmm, well, let me ask you something first, Debbie. |
| Debbie: Sure, what is it? |
| Tim: Do you like school? |
| Debbie: Yeah, sure. Why do you ask? |
| Tim: Is what you learn in the classroom useful for daily conversation? |
| Debbie: Hmm…well, sometimes, but not all the time… But what we learn in the classroom is very important and fundamental. |
| Tim: Yes, I agree. But sometimes, don't you feel like you want to learn something more? More interesting, funny, useful? |
| Debbie: Yes, but... wait! Is that today’s topic? |
| Tim: Yes, today’s topic is “All About top 5 phrases you won’t learn in the Korean Classroom”. |
| Debbie: “Top 5 phrases we won’t learn in the Classroom!"Sounds great! |
| Tim: Yes! Let’s begin! |
| Debbie: Today we are going to learn about the top 5 phrases you won’t learn in the classroom. Tim, what’s the Top #5? |
| Tim: (no answer and being silent) |
| Debbie: Tim? Number five is? |
| Tim: Where's the drumroll? Like 두두두… |
| Debbie: Hmm...okay, I'll do that for the number one phrase. Until then - I'll leave that to you! So, number five? |
| Tim: 두두두… “뻥이야!” (bbeong-i-ya). |
| Debbie: 하하. I haven’t heard that expression in years! Can you say it one more time, please? |
| Tim: Sure, “뻥이야!” |
| Debbie: Meaning, “It’s a joke” or “I am kidding!” Tim, don’t you think you are too old for that phrase? |
| Tim: 하하. You are right! I am “way too old” for that phrase. Who would normally use that phrase then? |
| Debbie: Hmm…Kindergarten or elementary students? |
| Tim: Yes. But even people in their 20s and 30s use that phrase for fun with close friends. I might say it to my friends as a joke. |
| Debbie: 하하. For example? |
| Tim: Hmm… let me think... Okay, “Debbie, you're so smart!’ |
| Debbie: Oh, really? Thank y-- |
| Tim: 뻥이야!“I am joking!" |
| Debbie: Haha, very funny. Listeners, as Tim mentioned earlier, it can only be used between close friends. Keep in mind that it’s NOT for everyone. |
| Debbie: Okay Tim, what is number four? |
| Tim: 두두두…“강추” (gang-chu) or “강추야” (gang-chu-ya). |

| Tim: Yes, our lessons are 강추! |
| Debbie: Okay, what is number three? |
| Tim: 두두두…. “안습이다” (an-seup-ida). |
| Debbie: Meaning, “It brings tears to my eyes!” In what situation would we use that phrase? |
| Tim: Hmm…when you are feeling ashamed or moved by something or someone. |
| Debbie: Can you give us examples? |
| Tim: Let’s say that I'm hungry, and don't have any food or money. In that situation, I can say to myself, “안습이다". |
| Debbie: Ah. How about a situation where someone just lost their wallet! Can I say “안습이다” for that situation? |
| Tim: Yes! Any situation that brings tears to your eyes. You can say it to yourself, to someone, or to the situation “안습이다” |

| Okay, what is number two? |
| Tim: 두두두… “장난 아니다!” (Jang-nan a-nida)! |
