| Keith: Okay. Bye! |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Keith: So Miseon-ssi, I noticed in the conversation that there is a cafeteria, someplace to buy food within the library, is that really true? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), in Korea actually every public library has a cafeteria called 매점. (maejeom.) |
| Keith: That to me is really interesting, because every library I have grown up with in America, so there’s no food, no drinks allowed, don’t bring that in here, and maybe they’re afraid of getting some food on the books, but in Korea they sell food in the library. |
| Miseon: Yeah, yeah yeah. But actually cafeteria 매점 (maejeom) actually has to separate from the library, so library itself is one building, and when you go out or may be inside of somewhere like a corner, there’s a small 매점 (maejeom). So, you can actually whenever you feel hungry you can get snack like 간식 (gansik), or you can get even like instant 라면 (ramyeon), yeah. |
| Keith: Okay, so it’s basically for people who’re studying and they’re there for long periods of time, just need to get something to eat. |
| Miseon: Right. |
| Keith: Okay, well, I apparently won’t be there. I’m not much of a studier to be honest. |
| Miseon: Because in Korea educational system is like, you know, parents force kids like study study study. And teachers also you know, force like study study study. So, whenever you usually go to library then you can stay like from eight to five or something like that, so absolutely you have to eat something. |
| Keith: So that’s why they got the cafeterias in the libraries. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요. (majayo.) |
| Keith: All right, so let’s take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. |

| Miseon: All right, the first word we’ll look at is 잡지 (japji). |
| Keith: Magazine. |
| Miseon: 잡지, 잡지. (japji, japji.) |
| Keith: Well, I think in Korea, there’s a lot of magazines being published. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), in the 80s or in the 90s I don’t think it was the same, there weren’t many different types of magazines 잡지 (japji) in Korea. But now there’s a lot of tons of magazine. |
| Keith: Yeah, that’s right. But what’s interesting about Korean magazine’s is that they give a way so many free gifts. |
| Miseon: That’s true actually. Yeah, it’s good specially like for women. Believe or not, it’s a lot. |
| Keith: Yeah, I don’t know myself to be honest, but sometimes they give away things like bags, cosmetic products, or accessories, like earrings maybe. Some of them seem even more expensive than the magazine itself. |
| Miseon: Yeah, I don’t know how it works though, but yeah, that’s true. I used to buy some magazines to get those free gifts though. |
| Keith: Okay, so what’s the word magazine again? |
| Miseon: 잡지 (japji). |
| Keith: All right, what’s the next word we’re going to take a look at. |
| Miseon: Next one is 매점 (maejeom) |
| Keith: Store, cafeteria. |
| Miseon: 매점 (maejeom), 매점 (maejeom). |
| Keith: Okay, now this word 매점 (maejeom), it literally means sell point. Basically it’s a place that sells stuff. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), but 매점 (maejeom) is not just any store, but usually a store that’s inside a school, a company or a facility. |
| Keith: Right, then generally what’s a general store outside of those places? |
| Miseon: 가게 (gage). |
| Keith: Okay, and once again a store you can find inside a school, a facility as a part of it, such as in this dialogue the library within the library. A place inside those places intended to sell stuff to people that use that building, what’s that called? |
| Miseon: Again, 매점 (maejeom), not 가게 (gage). |
| Keith: Right. Okay, now it’s time to take a look at the focus of this lesson. |
| Miseon: Okay, let’s go. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Keith: Miseon-ssi, what’s the focus of this lesson? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), the focus of this lesson is to practice the past tense, and learn some expressions about the library. |
| Keith: Right, so let’s get right into it. If you’re already familiar with the past tense, this is going to be a good review for you. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), so when you want to say something in the past tense in Korean, you add -았/었/였어 (-at/eot/yeosseo) or -앗/었/였어요 (-at/eot/yeosseoyo) at the end of the verb stem. |
| Keith: Right, and in the dialogue for this lesson, a lot of sentences were used in the past tense. So let’s take a look at some of them. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), first 오다 (oda) is “to come”, and it was used in the sentence 나 도서관 왔어. (na doseogwan wasseo.) |
| Keith: I came to the library. I’m at the library now. |
| Miseon: And 가다 (gada) is “to go”, and it was used in the sentences 도서관 갔어? (doseogwan gasseo?) |
| Keith: Did you go to the library? |
| Miseon: Next 빌리다 (billida) is "to borrow" and it was used in 책 빌렸어. (chaek billyeosseo.) |
| Keith: I’ve borrowed books. And what’s next? |
| Miseon: Next, 먹다 (meokda) is "to eat" and it was used in 밥 먹었어? (bap meogeosseo?) |
| Keith: Did you eat? Okay, great job. How about looking at some other sample sentences. I’ll say something in English, so you want to say that in Korean? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), 좋 아요. (jo ayo.) |
| Keith: All right, how about: Did you read this book? |
| Miseon: 이 책 읽었어? (i chaek ilgeosseo?) |
| Keith: "When did you come?" |
| Miseon: 언제 왔어? (eonje wasseo?) |
| Keith: "Where did you meet?" |
| Miseon: 어디에서 만났어? (eodieseo mannasseo?) |
