| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Must-Know Korean Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 22 - At a Birthday Party. |
| Becky: Hi everyone, I'm Becky. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |

| Jaehwi: 이제 30살! (ije seoreunsal!) |
| Becky: Meaning - "Turning 30, today!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to 소라 (Sora)'s post. |
| Jaehwi: 이제 30살! (ije seoreunsal!) |
| Becky: "Turning 30, today!" |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 이제 30살! (ije seoreunsal!) (Regular) 이제 30살! (ije seoreunsal!) |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "now." |
| Jaehwi: 이제 (ije) |
| Becky: If you want to say "already" you can say |
| Jaehwi: 벌써 (beolsseo). |
| Becky: Listen again- "now" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 이제 (ije) (REGULAR) 이제 (ije) |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase - "30 years old!" |
| Jaehwi: 30살! (seoreunsal) |
| Becky: When you count ages, make sure to count them with native Korean numbers. Make sure you don't say, for example, |
| Jaehwi: 삼십살 (samsipsal) |
| Becky: which uses Sino-Korean numbers. Listen again- "30 years old!" is... |
| Jaehwi: (SLOW) 30살! (seoreunsal) (REGULAR) 30살! (seoreunsal) |
| Becky: All together, "Turning 30, today!" |
| Jaehwi: 이제 30살! (ije seoreunsal!) |
