Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! I’m Alisha.
Welcome to Conversational Phrases!
We’ve found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you’ll use in real conversations.
In this lesson, you’ll learn conversational phrases to answer the question, "What are you doing during the holiday?" After watching this video, you’ll be able to talk about your holiday plans.
Now, let’s take a look at some conversational phrases!
Listen to the dialogue.
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?)
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.)
Once more with the English translation.
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?)
“What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?”
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.)
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
First of all you'll need to learn how to say “What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?”
That's:
추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?)
Chuseok is a three-day harvest festival celebrated when there is a full moon on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
Listen to it again:
추석에 어디 가요?, 추석에 어디 가요? (Chuseoge eodi gayo?, Chuseoge eodi gayo?)
This Korean sentence literally translates as “Where are you going during Korean Thanksgiving?” But it means “What are you doing for Korean Thanksgiving?".
Now, how do you answer this question?
The pattern is:
[plan]ㄹ 계획이에요. ([plan]l gyehoegieyo.)
“I’m planning to [plan].”
For example:
“I'm planning to go to the beach.”
바닷가에 갈 계획이에요., 바닷가에 갈 계획이에요. (Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo., Badatgae gal gyehoegieyo.)
