| 지훈 (jihun): 응. 갑자기 꺼졌어. (eung. gapjagi kkeojyeosseo.) |
| Keith: No, it doesn't. It suddenly shut itself down. |

| Keith: I just turned it on... Argh...but it shut down again. What should I do? |
| 지훈 (jihun): PC방 가. (pissi-bang ga.) |
| Keith: Go to a PC bang. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Keith: I like that solution, the older brother is very simple and clear his answer, just go to PC방 가! (pissi-bang ga!) |
| Miseon: Yeah, he’s very smart, right? |
| Keith: Yeah, well in Korea of course you can always go to a PC방 (PCbang) if your computer doesn’t work. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). Keith, 근데 (geunde), do you fix your own computer if it’s broken? |
| Keith: I try a lot of times, but most of the time it just ends up more broken. |
| Miseon: Then what do you do? |
| Keith: I go to PC방 (PCbang) |
| Miseon: Again. |
| Keith: Well just for those who don’t know, PC방 (PCbang) in really quickly, is an internet café, it’s a Korean style where … it’s not really a café, it’s just a bunch of tables with computers and you pay money to use the computers. Very cheap and plentiful in Korea |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) you can check your Email and you can play a lot of tons of games there right? |
| Keith: Yeah, I think Korea is a gaming nation. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) yeah, I think a lot of Korean people, especially guys are very good with computers and they pretty much fix everything themselves, not you Keith. |
| Keith: Well, I try, but maybe that’s part of the reason that computer repair services are so cheap in Korea. From my personal experience it’s sometimes it’s too cheap, and if you’re living in Seoul there are hundreds, hundreds of shops that’ll send someone up to your place within an hour, and yeah, that’s pretty convenient. |
| Miseon: Yeah, as for me actually it would better to live in Seoul actually, I am 컴맹 (keommaeng). Do you know 컴맹? (keommaeng?) |
| Keith: No. |
| Miseon: It’s like, you know, computer plus 맹 (maeng) |
| Keith: I get it now, yeah. |
| Miseon: So you combine together 컴맹 (keommaeng), it means I’m very ignorant about computer. |
| Keith: Totally computer illiterate. |
| Miseon: Right. |
| Keith: And, well the girl in this dialogue is also 컴맹 (keommaeng) |
| Miseon: 네맞아요. (nemajayo.) |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Keith: All right, well, Let's take a closer look at a usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) The first word we’ll look at is 해 보다 (hae boda) |
| Keith: To try doing something, to try to do something. |
| Miseon: 해 보다, 해 보다. (hae boda, hae boda.) |
| Keith: All right, so this word’s actually is a combination of two verbs. |
| Miseon: 하다 (hada) and 보다 (boda). |
| Keith: All right, first one is to do, and to see. So you do something and see what happens. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) So a close translation for this is to try doing something. |
| Keith: Yeah, as in the example: |
| Miseon: 해 봐! 괜찮아. (hae bwa! gwaenchana.) |
| Keith: Give it a try, it’s Okay. Or may be try it, it’s all right. Okay, what’s the next word we’re looking at? |
| Miseon: PC방 (PCbang) |
| Keith: Internet café, but literally a PC room. |
| Miseon: That’s correct. PC방 (PCbang), PC방 (PCbang). |
| Keith: All right, now, 방 (bang), that means room, but PC방 (PCbang) doesn’t have any rooms actually, it’s one big room. Why is that? |
| Miseon: Because this name comes from 노래방 (noraebang), a karaoke KTV signing room, and they’re just using a similar name. |
| Keith: Yeah, so when PC방 (PCbang) were first being made in Korea, which was about in the late 90s, it was like the peak, the prime time of 노래방 (noraebang), so they named it PC방. (PCbang). |
| Miseon: 네맞아요. (nemajayo.) exactly, you know that history, wow, that’s awesome. |
| Keith: I was there from the beginning. Trust me. |
| Miseon: Oh, all right. As far as I remember, PC방's (PCbang’s) were first named 인터넷 카페. (inteonet kape.) but then gradually changed to PC방 (PCbang). |
| Keith: I like PC방 (PCbang) better, I think it has a better ring to it. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) |
| Keith: All right, well, let’s take a look at the focus of this lesson. |
| Miseon: All right. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Miseon: The focus of this lesson is how to say “but” in Korean, and also to learn some expressions about computers. |
| Keith: All right, can we have an example? |
| Miseon: 근데 컴퓨터가 꺼졌어. (geunde keompyuteoga kkeojyeosseo.) |
| Keith: Okay, that was in our dialogue, “but the computer shut down.” |
| Miseon: So, when you want to say “but” in Korean, 근데 (geunde) is the most commonly used expressions among many. |
| Keith: Right, but 근데 (geunde) is not the original form of the word, right? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) it comes from 그런데 (geureonde) but actually, 근데 (geunde) is much more commonly used than 그런데 (geureonde) except for in writing. |
| Keith: All right, well, can you give us an example please? |
| Miseon: 이거 봤어. 근데 재미없어. (igeo bwasseo. geunde jaemieopseo.) |
| Keith: I saw this, but it’s not interesting. |
| Miseon: Please note, although 근데 (geunde) is a shortened form of 그런데 (geureonde), and 그런데 (geureonde) is certainly more formal, you can still use 근데 (geunde) in polite language too. |
| Keith: Okay, how about we check out how 근데 (geunde) was used in the dialogue for this lesson? |
| Miseon: 해 봤어. 근데… (hae bwasseo. geunde…) |
| Keith: "I tried it, but..." |
| Miseon: 근데 안 돼? (geunde an dwae?) |
| Keith: "But it doesn't work?" |
| Miseon: 방금 다시 켰어... 근데 또 꺼졌어… (bakke bi wayo. geunde usani eopseoyo.) |
| Keith: I turned it on again. But it shut down again. Okay, well, How about we take a look some sample sentences to wrap things up? |
| Miseon: All right. |
| Keith: Okay, so let’s say “it’s raining outside, but I don’t have an umbrella.” |
| Miseon: 밖에 비 와요. 근데 우산이 없어요. (bakke bi wayo. geunde usani eopseoyo.) |
| Keith: All right, how about “it’s my birthday today, but I don’t have any friends to meet.” |
| Miseon: Oh, that’s sad. |
| Keith: So true. |
| Miseon: It was my birthday experience. |
| Keith: Oh, that’s so sad. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) |
| Keith: Well, what did you say on that day? |
| Miseon: 오늘 생일이에요. 근데 만날 친구가 없어요. (oneul saengirieyo. geunde mannal chinguga eopseoyo.) |
| Keith: All right. Well, how about this one, “it’s my friend’s birthday but I don’t have money.” |
| Miseon: Exactly me. 친구 생일이에요. 근데 돈이 없어요. (chingu saengirieyo. geunde doni eopseoyo.) That’s even sadder. |
| Keith: It happens, it’s life. |
| Miseon: Right. |
