Useful expressions A NOTE ABOUT THE ROMANIZATION OF KOREAN Korean has its own alphabetic script called Hangul (or 한글, as it’s written in the script). We want you to be able to get talking Korean straight away without having to learn Hangul first, so we’ve used a system of representing, or ‘romanizing’, the Korean script in the Latin letters that English speakers are already familiar with. We’ve used the Revised Romanization of Korean system, which is the modern system that you’ll see used in South Korea. We’ve also used hyphens within words to break them up into manageable chunks and to indicate syllable boundaries. No romanization system can completely capture all the true sounds of a language, so it’s important that you always listen to the words and expressions as well as reading them. Here are a few points to note: c Korean has two o sounds, as in other and over. These are represented in the romanization as eo and o, respectively. For example, in eo-seo o-se-yo (welcome), the eo syllable is pronounced like the o in other (and not with an e sound), and the o syllable sounds like the o in over. c Korean has a number of sounds that approximate to the English g and k sounds, but which are impossible to accurately replicate with the two Latin letters. As a result, you may find that a g in the romanization may sound somewhat more like a k when said aloud (or vice versa), as in gam-sa-ham-ni-da (thank you). c Korean has a number of double consonant sounds, which are shown in the romanization by doubling the letter, as in Eo-ttae-yo? (How is it?) c In Korean, the s sound is pronounced as a sh sound when it’s followed by an i sound, as in si-wol (October). However, the h is not shown in the romanization system.

NUMBERS Korean has two different sets of numbers: Sino-Korean numbers and pure Korean numbers. Each set of numbers is used for different purposes. Sino-Korean numbers These are used for, among other things, money, dates, phone numbers and all numbers above 100. c English words

Never be seen to write on someone’s card or mistreat it any way — this may be interpreted as a sign of disrespect.

PART 6 TRACK 8

In this conversation, you heard the speakers introduce themselves by saying their names. Now it’s time to review ways of asking for and giving personal information. c English expressions

c Korean expressions

Who are you? I’m … . Where do you live? I live in Seoul. What’s your nationality? I’m British Are you married? Yes. I’m married. No. I’m not married. How old are you? I’m … years old.

Nu-gu-se-yo? Jeo-neun … -im-ni-da. Eo-di sa-se-yo? Jeo-neun Seo-ul-e sal-a-yo. Eo-neu na-ra sa-ram-i-e-yo? Jeo-neun Yeong-guk sa-ram-i-e-yo. Gyeol-hon ha-syeo-sseo-yo? Ne. Gyeol-hon hae-sseo-yo. A-ni-yo. Gyeol-hon an-hae-sseo-yo. Myeot sal-i-e-yo? Jeo-neun … sal-i-e-yo.

LANGUAGE TIP! Remember to use the pure Korean numbers to talk about age, for example, I’m 40 years old would be Jeo-neun ma-heun sal-i-e-yo. Bear in mind also that Koreans calculate their age from an approximate time of conception, making a newborn baby already one year old. So, your ‘Korean age’ is always one year older than your western age.

PART 6 TRACK 15

So far, you’ve learned the words for husband, child, daughter and son. Now it’s time to learn some more words for family members. Listen to the English words and repeat the Korean expressions. c English expressions

father mother wife grandfather grandmother younger sibling younger brother younger sister elder sister (of a girl) elder sister (of a boy) elder brother (of a girl) elder brother (of a boy) I have … . I don’t have … .

c Korean expressions

a-beo-ji eo-meo-ni a-nae hal-a-beo-ji hal-meo-ni dong-saeng nam-dong-saeng yeo-dong-saeng eon-ni nu-na o-ppa hyeong … i-sseo-yo. … eop-sseo-yo.

LANGUAGE TIP! Note that Koreans differentiate between siblings who are older or younger than them with different words. Also, the words for older siblings differ depending on whether you are male or female. These various words for older brother and sister are regularly used between people who aren’t related but who are friends. For example, a man will call an older female friend elder sister (nu-na), and a woman will call an older male friend older brother (o-ppa).

1. Listen to the question, Do you have any younger siblings? Respond for yourself.

Woman:

Dong-saeng i-sseo-yo?

Learning plus! MORE ADJECTIVES OF APPEARANCE TRACK 16

So far, you’ve learned how to use Korean adjectives to say someone is tall, handsome and cute. Now let’s learn some more words for describing how people look. c English expressions

c Korean expressions

ki-ga ja-ga-yo nal-ssin-hae-yo ttung-ttung-hae-yo ye-ppeo-yo mot-saeng-gyeo-sseo-yo eo-ryeo bo-yeo-yo neul-geo bo-yeo-yo

short slim chubby pretty unattractive young-looking old-looking

LANGUAGE TIP! Remember that Korean adjectives work on their own, and don’t need to be used with a verb as they would be in English. Also, you don’t need to say he or she. So, for example, to say He’s (or she’s) old-looking, you just need to say the adjective: Neul-geo bo-yeo-yo.

1. Now, listen to the question, What does she (or he) look like? Reply that she’s pretty.

Man:

Eo-tteo-ke saeng-gyeo-sseo-yo?

You: 2. Now, listen to the question again, and this time reply that he’s young-looking.

Man:

Eo-tteo-ke saeng-gyeo-sseo-yo?

You: 3. Now, listen to the question again, and this time reply that he’s slim.

Man:

Eo-tteo-ke saeng-gyeo-sseo-yo?

You: 4. Now describe your best friend. Listen to the question, What does your friend look like? and respond. Use an adjective or adjectives that are true for you.

Man:

LANGUAGE TIP! Remember, the way to say that you like something is Jeo-neun … followed by the activity, the object particle, and then the expression meaning like, which is … jo-a-hae-yo. For example, I like playing football: Jeo-neun chuk-gu ha-gi-reul jo-a-hae-yo. As all of the activities listed here end in a vowel sound, the correct object particle to use is -reul.

Now, imagine that an older person asks you what subject you are studying. Listen to the question, and reply appropriately that it’s business.

Woman:

Jeon-gong-i mwo-ni?

Now listen to the conversation again. Answer the questions about the language used in the conversation. Then, practise using the expressions. 1. What do these two expressions have in common? Ju-mal jal bo-nae-sseo-yo? Ju-mal-e mwo hae-sseo-yo?

2. What two things does Barbara say she did in the past?

3. What two verbs are used in this sentence, and how are they joined together? Eo-je-neun baek-hwa-jeom-e syo-ping-ha-reo gasseo-yo. 4. What does the following expression mean? Geu hu-e hoe meog-eu-reo su-san-si-jang-e ga-sseo-yo.

LANGUAGE TIP! Korean past tense verbs in the polite form always end in one of the following, very similar, sounds: -a-sseo-yo, -eo-sseo-yo, -hae-sseo-yo, -wo-sseo-yo, -wa-sseo-yo. So if you hear verbs ending in these sounds, you’ll know the speaker is talking about the past.

Making future plans

In this conversation you will learn how to: c talk about holiday plans c talk about plans for the future c use future time expressions PART 1 TRACK 66

Here are the key expressions for the conversation. Listen to the English meaning. Then, listen to the Korean words and phrases and repeat. c English expressions

c Korean expressions

Next month there’s a summer holiday. What are you going to do? I’m going to go travelling. Where are you going to go? I’m going to go to … . Jeju Island beautiful I’m envious. I’m looking forward to it so much. Are you going anywhere during the holiday? I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be at home. I’m going to do some house repairs.

Da-eum dal-i yeo-reum hyu-ga-e-yo. Mwo hal geo-ye-yo? Yeo-haeng gal geo-ye-yo. Eo-di-ro gal geo-ye-yo? … e gal geo-ye-yo. Je-ju-do a-reum-da-wo-yo Bu-reom-ne-yo. Neo-mu gi-dae-dwae-yo. Hyu-ga jung-e eo-di-ra-do gal geo-ye-yo? A-mu de-do an gal geo-ye-yo. Jip-e iss-eul geo-ye-yo. Jip-su-ri-reul hal geo-ye-yo.

LANGUAGE TIP! Did you notice the r or l like sound again in the word meaning beautiful, a-reum-da-wo-yo? The sound is pronounced halfway between an English r and l sound. It is important for learners of the Korean language to get this sound right and it can be difficult so be sure to practise it carefully.

PART 2 TRACK 67

Listen to Barbara and her colleague Chul-soo discussing their plans for their forthcoming summer holiday. Then answer the questions. 1. Where is Barbara going to go during the holiday? 2. Where is Chul-soo going to be during the holiday?

PART 4 TRACK 69

Now listen to the conversation again. Answer the questions about the language used in the conversation. Then, practise using the expressions. 1. What does the following expression mean? Da-eum dal-i yeo-reum hyu-ga-e-yo.

2. What are the following two expressions doing – describing things or talking about future plans? Je-ju-do-neun a-reum-da-woyo. Bu-reom-ne-yo.

3. What do the following three expressions have in common? Mwo hal geo-ye-yo? Eo-di-ro gal geo-ye-yo? Hyu-ga jung-e eo-di-rado gal geo-ye-yo?

LANGUAGE TIP! Notice the future tense verb for to go, gal geo-ye-yo. Forming the future tense in Korean is easy. You just take the verb stem and add the future ending. For verb stems ending in vowel sounds, such as to go, the future ending is -l geo-ye-yo. Notice here that the first part of the future ending (-l) joins the verb stem, rather than being added as a separate syllable. For verb stems that end in consonant sounds, however, like the verb meaning to eat (meog), an extra syllable is added in the future ending: I’m going to eat, Meog-eul geo-ye-yo.

PART 5 TRACK 70

Now it’s your turn. Listen to part of the conversation. You are Barbara. Listen to the cues as you speak and respond. Chul-soo:
