Keith: Okay, literally that means a student who doesn’t have habits. Now that’s a literal translation, but actually it just means a rude student.
Miseon: Right, someone who has not the right polite etiquette is 버릇 없는 (beoreut eomneun) person.
Keith: Yes, if you’re rude or if you’re not so polite or you don’t have so much etiquette, what is that one more time?
Miseon: 버릇 없는 학생. (beoreut eomneun haksaeng.)

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Keith: Okay, so let’s take a deeper look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Miseon: The first word we look at is 어제 (eoje).
Keith: Yesterday.
Miseon: 어제, 어제. (eoje, eoje.)
Keith: Now this is a relatively easy word I think, but we want to briefly review some time words.
Miseon: 네 (ne). reviewing is the best way to remember things.
Keith: Right, so let’s do it this way. I’ll say a word in English and pause for one second, and everyone see if he knows the answer, in Korean of course.
Miseon: Oh, that’s a challenge. And I’ll tell you the answer afterwards.
Keith: Yes, it’s kind of like a review trick, so you haven’t listened, this is kind of [summer tool]. But here we are just talking about some time words.
Miseon: Exactly.
Keith: All right, so let’s get started. First we have: Today.
Miseon: 오늘 (oneul)
Keith: Tomorrow.
Miseon: 내일 (naeil)
Keith: The day after tomorrow.
Miseon: 모레 (more)
Keith: The day before yesterday.
Miseon: 그제 (geuje)
Keith: All right? Did everyone get a 100%? If you not, you fail. Just kidding.
Miseon: Ahhh!!
Keith: Just kidding kidding kidding kidding. All right, now let’s move on to our next word.
Miseon: 네 (ne). The next word is my favourite in today’s vocab list.
Keith: What is that?
Miseon: 아무튼 (amuteun).
Keith: Very very high frequency and very useful. 아무튼 (amuteun) and this means anyway, anyhow.
Miseon: 네 (ne), you can say this, when you want to say that you’ll do something or think in a certain way regardless of the previous discussion, or when you just don’t have anything to say in the middle of a conversation, and go back to the previous topic.
Keith: Like, let’s say we are talking about trains, and then you talk about movies. And I have no comments to make, and I want to talk about trains again.
Miseon: Yah, that’s right, then you can say 아무튼 (amuteun).
Keith: Yah, anyway, let’s go back to those trains. All right, thanks Miseon, and I think it’s now to go on to the focuses lesson, 아무튼 (amuteun).
Miseon: 네. 아무튼. (ne. amuteun.) let’s go.

Lesson focus

Keith: Miseon, what’s the focus of this lesson?
Miseon: The focus of this lesson is learning how to say: Late, to get up, and to sleep, to go to bed.
Keith: As in the example.
Miseon: 늦게 일어났어요. (neutge ireonasseoyo.)
Keith: “I got up late.”
Miseon: And in this lesson also do some more practice making sentences in the past tense.
Keith: Making sentences in the past tense is very very useful. So first let’s go with 늦게 (neutge) first.
Miseon: Well, 늦게 (neutge) is an adverb that means late. In Korean adverbs are usually placed before verbs unlike in English, where most adverbs come after the verb.
Keith: Right, so how do you say late again?
Miseon: 늦게 (neutge).
Keith: The adverb “late”, and for example: To go late.
Miseon: 늦게 가다 (neutge gada) . it's not 가다 늦게. (gada neutge.)
Keith: Yah, that would be in English you say: Go late. But in Korean you flip it around: Late go.
Miseon: 네 (ne).
Keith: And how about “to arrive late”?
Miseon: 늦게 도착하다 (neutge dochakada) not not not 도착하다 늦게. (dochakada neutge.)
Keith: Yah, once again you flip it around in Korean. And how was this word used in the dialogue?
Miseon: 왜 늦게 왔어? (wae neutge wasseo?)
Keith: Why did you come so late?
Miseon: 늦게 일어났어요. (neutge ireonasseoyo.)
Keith: I got up late.
Miseon: 어제 늦게 잤어요. (eoje neutge jasseoyo.)
Keith: I went to bed late yesterday.
Miseon: 집에 늦게 갔어요. (jibe neutge gasseoyo.)
Keith: I went home late.
Miseon: 늦게 오지 마! (neutge oji ma!)
Keith: Don’t come late. Great job. Now the next focus for that lesson.
Miseon: 네 (ne), the next expression we'll learn is verb 일어나다 (ireonada).
Keith: 일어나다 (ireonada)
Miseon: 일어나다 (ireonada) means to get up or to wake up, and to make it to the past tense you can add -았어 (-asseo) at the end of verb stem.
Keith: So, once again what’s the verb to get up?
Miseon: 일어나다. (ireonada.)
Keith: and the verb stem?
Miseon: 일어나. (ireona.)
Keith: And what do we add for the past tense?
Miseon: 았어. (asseo.)
Keith: So it becomes.
Miseon: 일어났어. (ireonasseo.)
Keith: “I got up”, that’s the past tense.
Miseon: And 일어났어요 (ireonasseoyo) if you want to be more polite.
Keith: Right, to say 요 (yo). Now we just have one expression left.
Miseon: 자다 (jada)
Keith: 자다 (jada)
Miseon: 자다 (jada) that’s my favourite word. 자다 (jada) means “to sleep, to go to bed, or to get to sleep”. To make it to the past tense you can add -았어 (-asseo) at the end of the verb stem.
Keith: So, to sleep is:
Miseon: 자다. (jada.)
Keith: The verb stem is:
Miseon: 자 (ja)
Keith: And the past tense:
Miseon: 잤어 (jasseo)
Keith: I slept.
Miseon: And 잤어요 (jasseoyo) if you want to be polite as well.
Keith: How about: Are you still sleeping?
Miseon: 아직 자? (ajik ja?) or 아직 자요? (ajik jayo?) and for the more if you want to emphasis; like still, then you can also say 아직도 자요? (ajikdo jayo?)
Keith: All right, great job. For… good lesson for our mothers to nag their sons, and daughters.
Miseon: Right, that’s right.

Outro

Keith: All right, well that’s going to do for that lesson, before we go we want to tell you about a way to drastically improve your pronunciation.
Miseon: The voice-recording tool.
Keith: Yes, the voice-recording tool in the premium learning centre.
Miseon: Record your voice with a click of a button.
Keith: And then play it back, just as easily.
Miseon: So, you record your voice and then listen to it.
Keith: Compare to the native speakers.
Miseon: And adjust your pronunciation.
Keith: This will help you improve your pronunciation fast.
All right everyone, thanks for listening, and 한국어 공부 열심히 하세요 (hangugeo gongbu yeolsimhi haseyo), study Korean hard!
Miseon: 네~! (ne~!)
