As you sit in the Korean restaurant with your girlfriends, you try to catch up on all the gossip from the past week. Since you just began learning Korean, it is good for you to gossip like this in Korean because you get to practice speaking in Korean…at least that’s what you tell everyone else! The Korean waiter approaches your table and takes your friend’s orders. He turns to you and you tell him in Korean that all you want is some green tea and then you turn to listen in on the gossip again! The Korean waiter interrupts and asks if you would also like some cake? You politely tell him no in Korean, but he asks again about something else…and then again, and again! How do you make him understand you ONLY want tea???

 

Learning Korean with KoreanClass101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Korean! This Korean Newbie lesson will teach you how to make that stubborn waiter go away by teaching you how to say “only” in Korean! You will also learn how to say another very important phrase in Korean, “how about…,” which will help you make suggestions in Korean. Don’t forget to stop by KoreanClass101 for more great Korean lessons and learning materials!

여러분 녹차 좋아하세요? 아니면 보리차 좋아하세요?) (Everyone, do you like green tea? Or maybe barley tea?)

녹차이랑보리차를진짜좋아해요 !

I didn’t know barley tea was very famous in Korea. I usually buy mine at a japanese grocery store.

이카피는Starbucks같은카피예요!

Ask for a latte, and you will be offered 1) a larger helping, 2)flavoured syrup , 3) whipped cream, 4) a cake….

Next time I’ll answer “Latte만주세요!” :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Keith says:

yea barely tea is extremely popular in Korea… I remember when I was growing up, I never had any water in the house because we just drank 보리차 (barley tea) :)

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

petiteclaire ;-) “Latte” is spelled “라떼” in Korean :D

I LOVE 보리차 :-) I have some in my refrigerator now too!

Jacqueline (쟈클린) says:

저는 차를 싫어해요. :mrgreen:

Jongyi, a friend of mine before he moved to Canada to go to school sent me this green tea from Seoul.

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Looks like a nice tea :-) It says ‘유기농(organic)’ too :-) hehe.

avatar
_petiteclaire_ says:

라떼… dictionaries, even good ones, are really never up to speed ! :mrgreen:

It’s a nice thing the pronunciation is the same, because I think the poor Starbucks barista will be confused enough with 주세요 ! :cool:

Bouks says:

Your sound studio people are hilarious, always playing with the speed of the translation/repeat introductions :mrgreen:

저 는 녹 차 를 진 짜 촣 아 해 요!

This episode reminds me of a scene from a show I watched as a child. The situation was turned around that time:

Customer: I’d like some coffee and a doughnut, please.
Waitress: We don’t have any doughnuts today.
Customer: Then I’d like some milk and a doughnut.
Waitress: Sorry, we don’t have any doughnuts today.
Customer: Then I’ll have some juice and a doughnut!
Waitress: We are OUT of doughnuts today, sir!
Customer: Well, then just some water and a doughnut!

…and on and on until the waitress faints in frustration :lol:

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Bouks,
하하하 :-) That’s a very funny story too!

For your Korean studying :-)
Here’s the story you wrote above, in Korean :-)

손님: 커피랑 도너츠 주세요.
웨이트리스: 오늘은 도너츠가 없습니다.
손님: 그러면 우유랑 도너츠 주세요.
웨이트리스: 죄송합니다. 오늘은 도너츠가 없습니다.
손님: 그러면 주스랑 도너츠 주세요!
웨이트리스: 손님, 오늘은 도너츠가 없다고요!!
손님: 음… 그러면 그냥 물이랑 도너츠 주세요!!

ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ

저는 녹자, 보리차, 그리고 커피 싫어해요. 그러나 코코아 좋아해요! :)
저는 음식에 까다롭어요~ (Not sure if that is right?^^)

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

사라 :-)
저는 녹차, 보리차, 그리고 커피 다 좋아해요 :D ㅎㅎ

“까다롭다” –> 까다로우+(ㅓ) –> “까다로워요” ^^

Jacqueline (쟈클린) says:

Hyunwoo,
커피는 괜찮아요. :smile: But Cappuccino. :mrgreen:
Looove Cappuccino. :mrgreen:

Jacqueline :-)
저도 카푸치노 진짜 좋아해요 ㅎㅎ 그런데 한국에서는 커피가 너무 비싸요 ㅠ.ㅠ

On a technical note, today’s video vocab does not download in Itunes. I realize this will probably be fixed quickly (yesterday’s didn’t work either, but it’s fine now), but there are 2 other missing files from some time ago:

- the video vocab for last week’s newbie lesson
- the PDF for las t month’s Advance Lesson Pilot

그파일도주세요! :smile:

maxiewawa says:

맥주만 주세요! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hana says:

I like both .
there is 보리차 at my home .
so I drink it for water(물처럼, 물로) everyday.
and I always drink 녹차 for some desert in restaurant.
many people drinks coffee after meal,
but I prefer 녹차 to coffee .
I’m addicted to green tea icecream these days.
I had not liked green tea icecream before
I don’t know that why I got to like it
do you like green tea ice cream?

avatar
Shan says:

I enjoyed this lesson, it was funny. :lol: And I also always get a chucke from the way you play with the repeat announcements.

Hyunwoo, I like the way you correct us if we write/spell something wrongly - you’re a good teacher! And thanks for the translation of the customer/waitress story - I’m learning a lot from that as well! Does 랑 mean “and”?

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

petiteclaire,

그 파일도 곧 줄게요 ^^!!

Max, :-)

여기는 맥주 없어요! 한국어 레슨은 어때요?ㅎㅎㅎ

하나, :-)

I love green tea ice cream too! But I wonder how popular it is outside Korea. :-)

Shan :-)

감사합니다! Thank you so much for the nice comment ^^! I will keep doing my best :-) and yes!! “랑” means “and” - it’s the same meaning as “하고” or “와” but more casual :-) 화이팅!!

Sean Somers says:

I’d just like to 2nd the previous comment about missing video vocab . . . it’s fairly routine that there be a broken link for this feature with newbie lessons. Is there any reason for this?

avatar
Austin (오민) says:

Ugh… green tea ice cream is, in my opinion, pretty disgusting. Green tea itself, however is a different story.

avatar
Keith says:

Hi Sean and Claire, extremely sorry about the video vocab. We’ve been getting these back in bits and pieces, and we’re remedying this as fast as we can! Sorry about that… :oops:

선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Austin :-)

how popular is green tea ice cream in America? 미국에서는 녹차 아이스크림 인기가 어때?

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Everyone, here’s a poll on your favorite beverage!

All the choices are written in Korean for your vocab practice! :D

Austin (오민) says:

how popular is green tea ice cream in America? 미국에서는 녹차 아이스크림 인기가 어때?

모르겠어… 근데 할류데문에 인기가 늘은 것 같아.. 사실은 녹차 아이스크림은 약간 쓴이까 미국 사람들의 대부분은 별로 안 좋을 것 같아.

I don’t know… but because of the Korean Wave, it might be gaining popularity. Actually since green tea ice cream is rather bitter, most Americans probably won’t like it

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

Austin (오민),

할류 –> 한류 ^^
쓴이까 –> 쓰니까
안 좋을 것 같아 –> 안 좋아할 것 같다 :-)

나도 처음에는 녹차는 쓰고 아이스크림은 다니까 안 좋아했었는데 지금은 좋아해 :-) (Same here. I didn’t use to like it because green tea is bitter and ice cream is sweet, but now I like it.)

avatar
steved says:

저도, 처음에는 별로 좋아하지 않았지만 이제는 좋아하요. 중국 식당에 가면 쉽게 잦을 수 있을 거요. 근데 한국 식당에 본적 없어요.

avatar
Bouks says:

I can’t read those other complicated Korean answers…but I like green tea ice cream. Usually here in the States (I’m in Arizona), I only find it in the nicer Japanese restaurants. I got it a lot when I lived on the East Coast (many Japanese restaurants in the DC area). I will probably find it in Korean restaurants too, but I haven’t been able to get to one yet around here.

avatar
steved says:

What I missed this last time in Korea was 뽀리뽀리 or I think there was another one called 뽀리탠. These were barley sodas. I don’t think they make them anymore :cry: .The taste kind of had to grow on you, but I liked them and I am not much of a soda drinker…

avatar
steved says:

Bouks, sorry about that… here is the translation:

Me too, At first (I) didn’t really like (green tea ice cream) but now I like (it). If (you) go to a Chinese restaurant (you) can easily find (it). But (I) have never seen (it) in a Korean restaurant.

avatar
Bouks says:

Thank you, Steve! Don’t worry, I just didn’t want to duplicate anyone’s answer. It’s good to answer in Korean whenever you can.

I just remembered that there’s a Chinese bakery near my house, and they sell green tea cake. It’s a roll cake with green tea flavoring and white cream filling. It’s sort of tinted green, and has a sweet flavor like the ice cream. There are probably variations of it out there…if you like the ice cream, you’ll like the cake, and vice-versa.

avatar
Jeff (Javis) says:

Steve,

Oh yeah! The barley soda that I had was called 맥콜 or McCol. The taste really grew on me. I miss that stuff!

I would think that with all the beer drinkers in the US, a barley cola could do all right.

avatar
Austin (오민) says:

Oh yeah! The barley soda that I had was called 맥콜 or McCol. The taste really grew on me. I miss that stuff!

I haven’t been *brave* enough to try it yet.

avatar
선현우(Hyunwoo Sun) says:

I LOVE 맥콜 :-) , well, at least what it tastes like - but I’ve never thought of it as barely soda before :shock: hehe . But yeah , the taste is quite good, but somehow it’s fading out of the market.

Jeff (Javis) says:

Go for it, Austin. There have been three endorsements here already. How much recommendation do you need? :razz:

avatar
Chris says:

저는 현미녹자랑 자를 진짜 좋아애요…

I drink way too much tea.

avatar
Keith says:

I’ll have to say I didn’t like 맥콜 much… hehe

Chris - Tea is much better than carbonated tea! And generally good for you anyway ;) hehe

여로분, 안영하세요! First time commenting!
I was wondering… :oops:
I know there’s a difference between 어때 and 어떻개, but I was wondering if anyone could give me a more concrete explanation as to what the difference is.
어떼 is like how about? and 어떻대 is like how as in, how did that happen? Something like that? :???:

avatar
CanadianSeoul says:

저는 녹차를 좋아합니다, but i also like the icecream flavor too. i know some don’t care for the flavor, but i love it. Every summer i get the green tea frappucino from Starbucks…mmmmmm nummy. :mrgreen:

Vivian says:

Annyeonghaseyo :)

Is eottaeyo the same as eunyo/neunyo ?

Thank you :grin:

avatar
KoreanClass101.com says:

:razz: Hello, Vivian.

As you mentioned, you can use all of them to mean ‘How about’?

Since 은요(eunyo) and 는요(neunyo) are particles, please use them with nouns such as 이것은요(igeosseunyo)? to mean How about this?

To use 어때요? (eottaeyo / Verb) You can say 이것은 어때요 (igeoseun eottaeyo)? You need the particle 은 with the pronouns.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
