| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Keith: Miseon-ssi, do you often give and receive gifts between your friends? Back and forth. |
| Miseon: Well, it’s hard to tell. It’s been long time since, you know, I have given something to my friends actually. I don’t like to, like, give and take stuff even though like, a birthday you know, present, because I don’t really take birthday presents for myself. So … |
| Keith: So, you don’t like to receive birthday presents. |
| Miseon: No, or I don’t like to give some kind of presents to my best friends, not like a, like a materialistic things. But I’d like to share … |
| Keith: Nice card may be. |
| Miseon: Yeah, of course, cards or I like to share my time with my best friends, you know. |
| Keith: So spending time is your present. |
| Miseon: Yeah, that would be my present. |
| Keith: That’s so sweet. But you know what? I’ve noticed that a lot of Korean women or girls they like to exchange small gifts between friends really often. Don’t they? |
| Miseon: 예 맞아요 (ye majayo). Guys don’t exchange presents, unless it’s a special day, like someone’s birthday, right? |
| Keith: Well, in my case no. |
| Miseon: No. |
| Keith: We just say “Happy birthday man”, that’s it. |
| Miseon: Okay. |
| Keith: But, yeah |
| Miseon: That’s easy. |
| Keith: Very very easy. That’s why I do it. |
| Miseon: I want to be a man. |
| Keith: Well, I think … Yeah, guys don’t really exchange presents even on a friend’s birthday like I said, you know, they … What happen in terms of Korea, 생일이야 (saengiriya), “it’s your birthday”, 한 잔하자 (han janhaja), “let’s have a drink”. |
| Miseon: Of course I’d go. 예 맞아요 (ye majayo). Yeah. I mean, women too, sometimes we go to, you know have some drink. |
| Keith: Yeah |
| Miseon: You know, Yeah. |
| Keith: Women do that too. But, yeah, like I said, guys normally exchange this. |
| Miseon: It’s more like a … Yeah, it’s more like a man thing. |
| Keith: Yeah. |
| Miseon: That’s true. |
| Keith: All right. So let’s take a look at the vocabulary for this lesson. |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Keith: All right, so now we’re going to take a deeper look at some of the words and phrases for this lesson. What’s the first word, Miseon-ssi? |
| Miseon: The first word we’ll look at is 비밀 (bimil). |
| Keith: And that’s a secret. |
| Miseon: 비밀 (bimil), 비밀 (bimil). |
| Keith: So 비밀 (bimil) is a secret. How do you say to your friend, “It’s a secret”? |
| Miseon: 비밀이야 (bimiriya). |
| Keith: 비밀이야 (bimiriya). |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요 (majayo). And if you want to be more polite, you can change the end and say 비밀이에요 (bimirieyo). |
| Keith: 비밀이에요 (bimirieyo). |
| Miseon: Girls always have 비밀 (bimil), you know that right? |
| Keith: Well, I don’t know the 비밀 (bimil), but, yes, they always have 비밀 (bimil) secrets. And also another interesting thing is that the word 비밀 (bimil) when you’re on websites and things like that, that’s the word used for “password”. |
| Miseon: 비밀 번호 (bimil beonho) |
| Keith: Yeah, what that literally is “secret number”. |
| Miseon: 비밀 번호 (bimil beonho) |
| Keith: And that translates to “password”. Okay, what’s the next word we’re going to look at? |
| Miseon: 모르다 (moreuda) |
| Keith: To not know. |
| Miseon: 모르다, 모르다 (moreuda, moreuda). |
| Keith: And, I think it’s interesting that in Korean there is a word that means “do not know”, whereas in English you just have a negative form of the word to know. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요 (majayo). It wasn’t very strange when I first learnt English, because I just memorised the phrase. I don’t know, but later in time I started thinking that this word 모르다 is really interesting too. |
| Keith: Yeah, because it’s a separate word. So 모르다 (moreuda) is do not know. how do you say "I don't know" politely? |
| Miseon: 몰라요 (mollayo). |
| Keith: So when someone asks you what time it is, you are in the street in Korea, and hey, you don’t have got a watch, you don’t know, You can say: |
| Miseon: 몰라요 (mollayo). |
| Keith: I ask you how old are you, Miseon-ssi. |
| Miseon: 몰라요 (mollayo). haha. |
| Keith: That’s more of 비밀 (bimil) I think. |
| Miseon: What about you? |
| Keith: 몰라요 (mollayo). may be in couple of years I’ll know, how about we take a look at the focus for this lesson? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Keith: All right. Miseon-ssi, what’s the focus for this lesson? What are we taking a look at? |
| Miseon: As I said previously, the focus of this lesson is the expressions related to gifts and we’re going to practice using the future tense. |
| Keith: Okay, that sounds good. How about we get started. |
| Miseon: All right. As you know in English future can be expressed through the auxiliary verb “will” and also the structure “to be going to”, right? |
| Keith: Miseon-ssi, you’re an English expert, English grammar expert, but yes, you’re correct. |
| Miseon: Thank you. But in Korean, the future tense is mostly expressed through the structure -ㄹ/을 것이다 (-l/eul geos-ida). |
| Keith: Right, that means while you add a word or words in front of the verb in English to make the future tense, again in English you add extra words, in Korean, you have to change the end of the verb. You have to conjugate it pretty much. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). 맞아요 (majayo). you’re expert too. So now let us practice making sentences in the future tense using the verb 주다 (juda), "to give." |
| Keith: 주다 (juda) |
| Miseon: 주다 (juda) |
| Keith: Okay, so 주다 (juda) means "to give". |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). In this conversation, the speakers are talking about a present. The girl is going to give the present to someone. So, she’s using the future tense. |
| Keith: And, when making a sentence in the future tense you need to know which politeness level you are using. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), so if you’re speaking informally you can end the sentences with -ㄹ/을 거야 (-r/eul geoya), |
| Keith: And if you want to be more polite. |
| Miseon: Of course -ㄹ/을 거예요 (-r/eul geoyeyo) |
| Keith: Okay, and how about some examples then? |
| Miseon: What about this? 줄 거야. (jul geoya.) |
| Keith: “I will give it”. And you have to give it to someone, but that’s implied. |
| Miseon: 줄 거예요. (jul geoyeyo.) |
| Keith: That’s the same thing, “I will give it”, again, someone is implied, and that one is more polite. |
| Miseon: 안 줄 거예요. (an jul geoyeyo.) |
| Keith: “I’m not going to give it”, and again, to someone, but that’s not very nice. You should give birthday presents. |
| Miseon: 네. (ne.) |
| Keith: Well, yeah |
| Miseon: 줄꺼예요. (julkkeoyeyo.) |
| Keith: 줄꺼예요. (julkkeoyeyo.) |
| Miseon: 감사니다. (gamsanida.) |
| Keith: All right, so Miseon-ssi, how was this expression and the future tense used in the dialogue for this lesson? |
| Miseon: 나한테 줄 거야? (nahante jul geoya?) |
| Keith: "Are you going to give it to me?" |
| Miseon: 누구한테 줄 거야? (nuguhante jul geoya?) |
| Keith: "Who are you going to give it to?" |
| Miseon: 남자친구한테 줄 거야? (namjachinguhante jul geoya?) |
| Keith: "Are you going to give it to your boyfriend?" |
