| Keith: Seven? |
| Miseon: Seven? I don’t know |
| Keith: Around there. |
| Miseon: It’s around there, yeah. |
| Keith: Very very young. |
| Miseon: I still remember those period of time. |
| Keith: Yeah. |
| Miseon: Yeah, a lot of people ask me what do you want to be, right? |
| Keith: Yeah, what do you want to be, what do you want to become when you grow up. |
| Miseon: Right. |
| Keith: I think everyone grows up hearing that question. |
| Miseon: 네맞아요. (nemajayo.) In Korean now it’s a bit different, but for a long time there were exemplary answers to these questions. |
| Keith: Right, the correct answers for what do you want to become. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) Most parents want their kids to say doctor, president, or scientist, or lawyer. |
| Keith: Lawyer, I heard that one. My mum is still bugging me about that one. You wanna become a lawyer? |
| Miseon: It’s not too late. |
| Keith: I was like mum, I’m a little older now. |
| Miseon: No, never too late. |
| Keith: But like you said, now I think it’s changing, right? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) of course, it’s a new era, and some kids say, they want to be a singer or an actor, or a comedian or a writer, something like more relating to art. |
| Keith: Yeah, but you know what? I think the parents are still on the doctor, lawyer, president kind of … they’re like hey, don’t you like to become a doctor and they’re like no, I’ll become an singer, sing … what? |
| Miseon: You know, I’ll give you one example, my sister. My sister has one son. He’s 14 years old and he wants to play violin, and he wants to be a musician. |
| Keith: Oh, that great. |
| Miseon: Yeah, I said that 정말 좋 아 (jeongmal jo a), right? And my sister like, no, you should be a lawyer. |
| Keith: A doctor. |
| Miseon: I’m like, 언니 (eonni), don’t push him like that. You know, he wants to be what he wants to be, right? |
| Keith: Yeah, definitely I think there is about two professions in the minds of all Korean parents. Doctors and lawyers. |

| Miseon: 네 (ne) the first word we’ll look at is 또 (tto) |
| Keith: That mean again, and, plus, additionally. |
| Miseon: 또 (tto), 또 (tto). |
| Keith: Okay, this word usually means "again", but depending on the tone, it can mean "and?" or "what else?" |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) For example Keith what do you want to eat? |
| Keith: I want to eat a hamburger. |
| Miseon: 또?!! (tto?!!) |
| Keith: And that one is, “Again?” |
| Miseon: 네맞아요 (nemajayo). and what do you want to eat in addition to hamburgers. |
| Keith: Okay, well let’s go with the standard hamburger, I want a coke and I want some fresh fries. |
| Miseon: 또? (tto?) |
| Keith: And with this one, this one is actually is used as, “And?” Isn’t that right? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), it's like 그리고? (geurigo?) |
| Keith: Yeah, if you noticed the rising tone there, it means, and, what else? |
| All right, so what’s the next word we are taking a look at? |
| Miseon: Next word is 훌륭하다 (hullyunghada) |
| Keith: To be great, to be excellent. |
| Miseon: 훌륭하다, 훌륭하다. (hullyunghada, hullyunghada.) |
| Keith: Okay, and this word has a very powerful nuance to it. |
| Miseon: I do agree. If you say that something is just 좋다 (jota), that means it’s good too, but 훌륭하다 (hullyunghada) is like very very good. |
| Keith: It’s really up there on the scale, it’s like awesome, fantastic, or you know something really terrific. |
| Miseon: That’s true, something like that. 훌륭해요 (hullyunghaeyo), it also has to know on some of well achieved . |
| Keith: So, you know this is a really word to know, but use it sparingly, because if you overuse it, it doesn’t have the same value. |
| Miseon: That’s true, that’s true, so you know, just use only one time 훌륭해요 (hullyunghaeyo). Keith, 훌륭해요. 훌륭해요 훌륭해요. (hullyunghaeyo. hullyunghaeyo hullyunghaeyo.) |
| Keith: Oh thank you thank you thank you. And it holds the same value right? I hope. |
| Miseon: No. |
| Keith: All right, well, let’s take a look at the focus for this lesson. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Miseon: The focus of this lesson is to learn how to say want to say, want to a and don’t want to. |
| Keith: Okay, as in the example: |
| Miseon: 과학자가 되고 싶어요. (gwahakjaga doego sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: “I want to be a scientist.” |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) when you want to say that, you want to do something, you use the structure -고 싶어요. (-go sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: Okay, and what if you want to say you don’t want to do something? |
| Miseon: Then you can simply add 안 (an) before the verb. |
| Keith: Right, and don’t forget, if you’re talking in informal Korean, you can just drop the 요 (yo) at the end of it? |
| Miseon: Of course. |
| Keith: All right, can you give us a quick example? |
| Miseon: 그럼요 (geureomyo). The verb 가다 (gada) is “to go”, right? |
| Keith: Right. |
| Miseon: So you say, 가고 싶어요. (gago sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: “I want to go.” |
| Miseon: And the opposite way is 안 가고 싶어요. (an gago sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: “I don’t want to go”. And notice the location of 안 (an), it comes before the verb. |
| Miseon: 네맞아요 (nemajayo). And here in the dialogue for this lesson, the grandmother is asking her grandson, what he wants to become, so they’re using the verb 되다 (doeda). |
| Keith: And that verb 되다 (doeda), it means “to become”. |
| Miseon: 되다 (doeda) |
| Keith: To become. |
| Miseon: 되고 싶어요 (doego sipeoyo) |
| Keith: And that one is: I want to become. |
| Miseon: 안 되고 싶어요 (an doego sipeoyo) |
| Keith: And I’m sure most my listeners guessed: I don’t want to become. |
| All right, so how was this construction 되고 싶어 (doego sipeo) and 안 되고 싶어 (an doego sipeo) used in this dialogue. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) In this dialogue, 커서 뭐가 되고 싶어? (keoseo mwoga doego sipeo?) |
| Keith: What do you want to become when you grow up? |
| Miseon: 대통령이나 과학자 안 되고 싶어? (daetongnyeongina gwahakja an doego sipeo?) |
| Keith: "You don't want to become the president or a scientist?" |
| Miseon: 훌륭한 사람 되고 싶어요. (hullyunghan saram doego sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: "I want to become a great person." Okay, how about a few more examples? |
| Miseon: 좋 아요 (jo ayo) |
| Keith: How about I want to sleep more? |
| Miseon: 더 자고 싶어요. (deo jago sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: that’s a truth. And here’s the next one “I want to go home.” |
| Miseon: 집에 가고 싶어요. (jibe gago sipeoyo.) That’s me! 집에 가고 싶어요. (jibe gago sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: And when you go home, you all by yourself, you are pretty hungry, so “I want to eat some ramyeon noodles.” |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). 라면 먹고 싶어요. (ramyeon meokgo sipeoyo.) |
| Keith: And they’re all the truth. All three examples. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne) and especially like it’s raining, you … |
| Keith: On a raining day. |
| Miseon: 라면 먹고 싶어요. (ramyeon meokgo sipeoyo.) |
Outro |
| Miseon: Ready to test what you just have learnt? |
| Keith: Make this lesson’s vocabulary stick by using lesson specific flashcards in the learning centre. |
| Miseon: There is a reason everyone uses flash cards. |
| Keith: They work. |
| Miseon: They really do help memorization. |
