| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Hyunwoo: Well I think almost every university student in Korea goes abroad at least once during their university life these days? |
| Gyeongeun: 네, 맞아요. It’s very rare to see someone who has never been abroad these days. |
| Hyunwoo: You are right. And for me, the first time I went abroad to travel was when I went to Japan which was in 2006 and even then, it was quite common to see someone who has never been abroad but now it’s quite different, right? |
| Gyeongeun: Yeah it’s regarded as something one must do. I mean a lot of people think they should at least travel overseas once during their university period. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah so a lot of university students actually work and save up money to travel overseas. |
| Gyeongeun: 맞아요. And a lot of people spend at least one semester overseas as an exchange student. |
| Hyunwoo: Yes which I wanted to do but I couldn’t and in some universities, its’ actually 의무사항 a must to do at least one semester overseas. |
| Gyeongeun: Oh it’s a good thing that I already graduated. |
| Hyunwoo: Why? |
| Gyeongeun: Because I’d love to travel because I want to but I wouldn’t want to go abroad to study if it’s a must. |
| Hyunwoo: Well you know what, same here. But all in all, I think traveling overseas is always exciting. |
| Gyeongeun: It is. 현우씨는 어디 가고 싶어요? |
| Hyunwoo: 저는 미국에 갈까 생각 중이에요. |
| Gyeongeun: You are thinking of going to the States? |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Hyunwoo: Maybe and we are going to learn how to say that in Korean in the grammar section of this lesson but for now let’s look at the vocabulary. So the first word we are going to look at is |
| Gyeongeun: 이번 겨울 |
| Hyunwoo: This winter. |
| Gyeongeun: 이번 겨울 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 이번 겨울 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: 그 다음에는 |
| Gyeongeun: 배낭 여행 |
| Hyunwoo: Backpack trip. |
| Gyeongeun: 배낭 여행 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 배낭 여행 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: 그리고 |
| Gyeongeun: 열심히 |
| Hyunwoo: Hard, diligently. |
| Gyeongeun: 열심히 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 열심히 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: 그리고 |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠 동안 |
| Hyunwoo: For how many days, for several days. |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠 동안 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 며칠 동안 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: 그 다음에는 |
| Gyeongeun: 계획 |
| Hyunwoo: Plan. |
| Gyeongeun: 계획 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 계획 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: Next |
| Gyeongeun: 최소한 |
| Hyunwoo: At least |
| Gyeongeun: 최소한 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 최소한 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: Next |
| Gyeongeun: 정도 |
| Hyunwoo: About, approximately. |
| Gyeongeun: 정도 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 정도 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: And lastly |
| Gyeongeun: 부럽다 |
| Hyunwoo: To be jealous, to envy. |
| Gyeongeun: 부럽다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 부럽다 [natural native speed] |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Hyunwoo: Okay now let’s have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. So the first word we are going to look at is |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠 동안 |
| Hyunwoo: For how many days or for several days. |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠동안 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 며칠 동안 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: So the expression 며칠 means both several days and how many days right? |
| Gyeongeun: Yeah right. So the meaning depends on the context. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah so let’s look at some examples. |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠 전에 친구를 만났어요. |
| Hyunwoo: I met a friend a few days ago. |
| Gyeongeun: 며칠 걸려요? |
| Hyunwoo: How many days will it take? So pay attention to the context to see which meaning it takes and now what’s the next word we are looking at. |
| Gyeongeun: 부럽다 |
| Hyunwoo: To be jealous. |
| Gyeongeun: 부럽다 [slowly - broken down by syllable] 부럽다 [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: Now this is to be jealous and if we look at a sample sentence |
| Gyeongeun: 벌써 집에 가요? 부러워요. |
| Hyunwoo: You are going home already, I am jealous but if you want to say to envy someone, you don’t say someone 을 using the object marker. |
| Gyeongeun: You are right. You say someone 가 부러워요. |
| Hyunwoo: For example, how do you say I envy my friend? |
| Gyeongeun: 친구가 부러워요. |
| Hyunwoo: Or I envy him? |
| Gyeongeun: 그 사람이 부러워요. |
| Hyunwoo: And if you want to say someone 을 envy using the object marker, you say 부러워하다 a different verb. |
| Gyeongeun: 네, 맞아요. And this verb 부러워하다 is often used with the negative imperative. |
| Hyunwoo: 네. For example, how do you say, don’t envy him? |
| Gyeongeun: 부러워하지 마. |
| Hyunwoo: That’s right. So now let’s look at the grammar point of this lesson. |
| Gyeongeun: 네, 좋아요. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hyunwoo: So 경은씨 what is the grammar point of this lesson? |
| Gyeongeun: The grammar point of this lesson is how to say I am thinking of doing something in Korean. |
| Hyunwoo: As in the example. |
| Gyeongeun: 여행 갈까 해요. |
| Hyunwoo: I am thinking of going on a trip. |
| Gyeongeun: When you are thinking of doing something in the future but not 100% sure, you can use the structure 을까 하다. |
| Hyunwoo: You are right. Basically the part 을까 expresses a question or an assumption and when combined with the verb 하다 the entire structure takes the meaning of I am thinking of doing something. |
| Gyeongeun: Or I am still thinking but I might do it. |
| Hyunwoo: So how do you form a sentence with this? |
| Gyeongeun: You add 을까 하다 after the verb stem. |
| Hyunwoo: Okay. Can you give us an example? |
| Gyeongeun: 갈까 is to go. So it becomes 갈까 하다. |
| Hyunwoo: So how do you say I am thinking of going there alone? |
| Gyeongeun: 혼자 갈까 해요. |
| Hyunwoo: Okay and now for negative sentences, how can you use this 을까 하다? |
| Gyeongeun: You can use the imperative form 지 말다 and make it 지 말까 해요. |
| Hyunwoo: For example |
| Gyeongeun: 가지 말까 해요. |
| Hyunwoo: I am thinking of not going, awesome! Now let’s look at how it was used in the dialogue for this lesson. |
| Gyeongeun: 겨울에 배낭 여행 갈까 해. |
| Hyunwoo: I am thinking of going on a backpacking trip in the winter. |
| Gyeongeun: 캐나다나 미국으로 갈까 해. |
| Hyunwoo: I am not sure yet, but I am thinking of going to Canada or America. |
| Gyeongeun: 나는 아르바이트만 열심히 할까 해. |
| Hyunwoo: I think I will just work hard on my part time job. |
| Gyeongeun: 최소한 한달 정도는 있을까 해. |
| Hyunwoo: I am thinking of going for at least one month, great. Now let’s look at some more sample sentences before we finish. 경은씨, how do you say I am thinking of learning Japanese starting from today in Korean? |
| Gyeongeun: 오늘부터 일본어를 배울까 해요. |
| Hyunwoo: Are you? |
| Gyeongeun: 그럴까요? |
| Hyunwoo: Okay. So how do you say, I am thinking of moving next month? |
| Gyeongeun: 다음 달에 이사 갈까해요. |
| Hyunwoo: Which I am thinking right now. |
| Gyeongeun: Oh really? |
| Hyunwoo: Yes. And how do you say, yeah I might do that. |
| Gyeongeun: 그렇게 할까 해요. |
