| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to KoreanClass101.com. This is Business Korean for Beginners Season 1 Lesson 22 - Talking About Your Hobbies. Becky here. |
| Kyejin: 안녕하세요. 김계진입니다. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you’ll learn expressions you can use to say what your hobby is, or what you like or don’t like to do. The conversation takes place in an office during break. |
| Kyejin: It's between Linda and her co-worker, Ms. Choi. |
| Becky: The speakers are co-workers, so they’ll be speaking politely, but not too formally. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
Lesson conversation |
|---|
| Choi: 제주도 사진 좀 보여주세요. |
| Linda: 물론이죠. 사진 정말 많이 찍었어요. 사진 촬영이 취미에요. |
| Choi: 아 그래요? 저도 사진 찍는 걸 정말 좋아해요. |
| : 한라산 정상에서 찍은 사진도 있어요? |
| Linda: 아뇨. 날씨가 안 좋아서 한라산에는 못 올라갔어요. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| Choi: 제주도 사진 좀 보여주세요. |
| Linda: 물론이죠. 사진 정말 많이 찍었어요. 사진 촬영이 취미에요. |
| Choi: 아 그래요? 저도 사진 찍는 걸 정말 좋아해요. |
| : 한라산 정상에서 찍은 사진도 있어요? |
| Linda: 아뇨. 날씨가 안 좋아서 한라산에는 못 올라갔어요. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Choi: Show me the pictures from Jeju Island. |
| Linda: Of course. I took a lot! Taking pictures is my hobby. |
| Choi: Oh, is that so? I love taking pictures too. |
| : Do you have pictures from the top of Mt. Halla? |
| Linda: No. The weather was not good, so I couldn’t climb Mt. Halla. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: So Linda likes taking photos. |
| Kyejin: I’d say that’s a nice 취미 or “hobby.” By the way, you don’t use the word “hobby” in English as much as we do in Korean, right? |
| Becky: That’s very true. Korean people often talk about what they do in their spare time as their “hobby,” don’t they? |
| Kyejin: Right. People often ask 취미가 뭐에요? meaning “what’s your hobby?” and this is like “what do you like to do in your free time?” in English. |
| Becky: Though the word is translated as “hobby” in English, I feel like it has a broader and more casual connotation than the English word “hobby.” |
| Kyejin: In Korean, almost any activity can be 취미, such as cooking, reading, or even watching T.V. |
| Becky: Speaking of that word, I’ve heard some Korean companies have “in-company club activities" for workers who share the same “hobby.” |
| Kyejin: Ah yes, they’re called 사내 동아리. 사내 means “in-company” and 동아리 is the Korean word meaning “clubs.” Those clubs can get money from their companies to pay for equipment and matches. You know, maybe we should have one in our company too. |
| Becky: That would be a good idea! Okay, now onto the vocab. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Becky: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first phrase is.. |
| Kyejin: 물론이죠. |
| Becky: meaning "Sure. Okay." |
| Kyejin:물론 means “of course” and 이죠 is the copula to indicate a statement of certainty. |
| Becky: So this expression literally means “For sure” or “of course.” It’s often used as a reply meaning "sure" or "okay" to a request. |
| Kyejin: If a stranger comes to you and says... 죄송하지만, 사진 좀 찍어주실래요? |
| Becky: meaning "Excuse me. Can you please take a picture?” |
| Kyejin: And if you don’t mind taking the picture, say 물론이죠. or 당연히요. which means the same thing. |
| Becky: Both mean “sure.” Okay, what's the next phrase? |
| Kyejin: 아, 그래요? |
| Becky: meaning “Oh, is that so?" |
| Kyejin: 아 means “Oh” and 그래요? means "so" in English. |
| Becky: It refers to something mentioned right before. This is used to show a supportive reaction to something that you were told. |
| Kyejin: And there’s another way to say “Oh, is that so?” in Korean, which is 아 정말요? |
| Becky: It literally means “Oh, really?” or “Oh, is that real?” |
| Kyejin: You’ll hear this a lot when you’re talking to Korean people. It doesn’t mean the other person thinks your story is not true. 아 정말요? is just the way to say “Oh is that so?” or “Oh, I see.” |
| Becky: So listeners, don’t translate it literally and think they keep saying “Oh, really?” when you hear this expression! Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Becky: In this lesson, you will learn some expressions you can use to say what you like or don’t like to do. The first sentence we’ll be looking at is... |
| Kyejin: 사진 촬영이 취미에요. |
| Becky: meaning “taking pictures is my hobby.” |
| Kyejin:In order to say what you like to do, use this formation [something]이 취미에요. or [something]가 취미에요. |
| Becky: Let’s give an example. First, say the name of your hobby or your favorite activity. |
| Kyejin: If you like playing golf, start the sentence with 골프 |
| Becky: Next, add the topic marking particle and say.. |
| Kyejin:골프가 |
| Becky: Then add the word meaning “hobby.” |
| Kyejin:취미 So, 골프가 취미 |
| Becky: Finally, put the polite copula at the end. |
| Kyejin:골프가 취미에요. |
| Becky: “Golfing is my hobby.” Let’s give another example. How do you say “reading” or “reading books”? |
| Kyejin: 독서 |
| Becky: And how do you say “My hobby is reading?” |
| Kyejin:독서가 취미에요. Of course, you can use another word 책 읽기 which also means “reading books” and say 책 읽기를 좋아해요 to mean “I like reading.” |
| Becky: Actually, that’s the second sentence we’ll be looking at. |
| Kyejin: The sentence pattern is [something] 을 좋아해요 or [something] 를 좋아해요. For example, if you like “golfing”, 골프를 좋아해요. |
| Becky: Since it’s obvious that you’re talking about yourself, the subject is left out. |
| Kyejin: That means, you don’t have to say 저는 골프를 좋아해요, but just say 골프를 좋아해요 if the other person knows it’s about yourself. |
| Becky: Then, how can we say “I love something.” |
| Kyejin: You can use the adverb 정말 meaning “really” or 매우 or 많이 meaning “a lot” before 좋아해요. |
| Becky: How do you say “I love sports”? |
| Kyejin:스포츠를 많이 좋아해요. |
| Becky: In this lesson’s dialogue, Ms. Choi said |
| Kyejin: 저도 사진 찍는 걸 정말 좋아해요. |
| Becky: “I like taking pictures too.” |
| Kyejin: She started the sentence by saying 저도 meaning “I also.” |
| Becky: But Kyejin, it seems she used a different word to mean “taking pictures.” |
| Kyejin: That’s right. Instead of using one word 사진 촬영 meaning “taking a picture”, she used the phrase 사진 찍는 것 to mean “Taking pictures.” 사진 찍다 is the verb meaning “to take pictures” and by adding the word 것, or 거, you can make it into a noun. |
| Becky: I think Korean people use this form much more than using the single word when they’re talking about hobbies. |
| Kyejin: That’s right. For example, we say 골프 치는 것 which means “playing golf” when talking about our hobbies. |
| Becky: So how can you say “I like golfing” in Korean using the phrase? |
| Kyejin: I can say 골프 치는 걸 정말 좋아해요. 걸 is the shortened form of the two words 것 meaning “thing” and the object-marking particle 을. |
| Becky: What about “I like taking pictures” as Ms. Choi said? |
| Kyejin: 사진 찍는 걸 정말 좋아해요. |
| Becky: OK. Let’s practice. Kyejin will tell you what her hobby is or what she likes to do. What you have to do is say “I like it, too.” Are you ready? |
| Kyejin:골프가 취미에요. |
| Becky: (5sec) OK. Listeners, if you said… |
| Kyejin:저도 골프를 좋아해요. or 저도 골프 치는 걸 좋아해요. |
| Becky: then you’re right. OK. Let’s do one more. |
| Kyejin:스포츠를 좋아해요. |
| Becky: (5 sec.) Listeners, if you said… |
| Kyejin:저도 스포츠를 좋아해요. |
| Becky: you’re right. |
Outro |
| Becky: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Kyejin: 다음 시간에 만나요. |
