Lesson Transcript

Gyeong-eun: 안녕하세요!
Hyunwoo: 안녕하세요. Hello everyone. Welcome to KoreanClass101.com’s Picture Video Vocab series, lesson #13. The Subway.
Gyeong-eun: 지하철.
Hyunwoo: Hi, my name is 현우 선 and I am joined by 경은.
Gyeong-eun: 안녕하세요, 최경은입니다.
Hyunwoo: 경은씨, What are we going to learn today? 오늘은 뭐 배울 거예요 (Oneureun mwo baeul geoyeyo)?
Gyeong-eun: Today, we are going to the subway station. 오늘은 지하철역에 갈 거예요 (Oneureun jihacheollyeoge gal geoyeyo).
Hyunwoo: Are we going to learn how to buy a ticket and take the subway?
Gyeong-eun: We are going to do that in a different culture class lesson--and today, we are going to have a good look around the Subway platform and inside the subway train.
Hyunwoo: Sounds like a good idea. Let’s go 빨리 가요(ppalli gayo).
Gyeong-eun: 현우씨. Do you think you can tell which subway station we are at right now?
Hyunwoo: I can’t really say for sure but I can see that we are on Line #1 and if we take the train that’s coming in right now, we can go to 인천(Incheon).
Gyeong-eun: Good observation.
Hyunwoo: Thanks. And then before we get on the train, shall we have a look at some vocabulary?
Gyeong-eun: 당연하죠(dangyeonhajyo). The first word to look at is Line #1.
Hyunwoo: 1호선(ilhoseon).
Gyeong-eun: 1호선(ilhoseon).
Hyunwoo: Line #2 is?
Gyeong-eun: 2호선(ihoseon).
Hyunwoo: Line #3
Gyeong-eun: 3호선(samhoseon).
Hyunwoo: Line #4
Gyeong-eun: 4호선(sahoseon).
Hyunwoo: Line #5, 6, 7, 8.
Gyeong-eun: 5호선(ohoseon), 6호선(yukoseon), 7호선(chilhoseon), 8호선(palhoseon).
Hyunwoo: Okay great job.
Gyeong-eun: Thank you.
Hyunwoo: Wait! What does it say here on the screen? Let’s have a look.
Gyeong-eun: The first line is saying 이번 열차 인천행(ibeon yeolcha incheonhaeng).
Hyunwoo: What does 이번 열차(ibeon yeolcha) mean?
Gyeong-eun: This train or more literally this timed train.
Hyunwoo: And 인천행(incheonhaeng) means?
Gyeong-eun: Bound for 인천(incheon) or going to 인천(incheon).
Hyunwoo: Good. And the next line is?
Gyeong-eun: 인천행 열차가 들어오고 있습니다(Incheonhaeng yeolchaga deureoogo itseumnida).
Hyunwoo: So once again 인천행(incheonhaeng) is bound for 인천(incheon). So this sentence means?
Gyeong-eun: The train bound for 인천(incheon is coming in.
Hyunwoo: Great. Now, before we go on, I would like to do a quick check to see if our listeners already know the names for some of the objects around here.
Gyeong-eun: Okay.
Hyunwoo: Can you help me? 도와주세요(Dowajuseyo).
Gyeong-eun: Sure, go ahead.
Hyunwoo: The floor.
Gyeong-eun: 바닥(badak).
Hyunwoo: The pole.
Gyeong-eun: 기둥(gidung).
Hyunwoo: The ceiling.
Gyeong-eun: 천장(cheonjang).
Hyunwoo: The light.
Gyeong-eun: 전등(jeondeung).
Hyunwoo: Great. I hope that gave our listeners a chance to review some words and let’s go. The train is coming in soon.
Gyeong-eun: Okay. Oh look, we have something interesting here.
Hyunwoo: Oh, let’s talk about this really quickly. What does it say?
Gyeong-eun: 갈아타는 곳(garataneun got).
Hyunwoo: And 갈아타다(garatada) means
Gyeong-eun: To transfer.
Hyunwoo: And 갈아타는 곳(garataneun got) means the place where you can transfer but we are not transferring. We are taking this subway right?
Gyeong-eun: Yeah. Let’s get in. Hurry up! 빨리오세요(Ppallioseyo).
Hyunwoo: Okay. We are in 경은씨, I will sit here. So do you want to sit over there?
Gyeong-eun: 네? 아니요. No. I am not supposed to sit there. 저기 앉으면 안 되잖아요(Jeogi anjeumyeon an doejanayo).
Hyunwoo: I was just kidding but for our listeners, can you tell us why you can’t sit there.
Gyeong-eun: Those seats in the corner are reserved only for senior citizens, pregnant women or people that have physical difficulties.
Hyunwoo: Right. So, when people get into a Korean Subway and see those seats empty, most people just leave them empty right so that people who really need those seats can sit there anytime.
Gyeong-eun: Yeah, right. And these seats are called 노약자석(noyakjaseok).
Hyunwoo: 노약자석(noyakjaseok).
Gyeong-eun: 노(no) means old, elderly.
Hyunwoo: 약(yak) means weak.
Gyeong-eun: 자 means person.
Hyunwoo: 석(seok) means seat. So, 노약자석(noyakjaseok).
Gyeong-eun: Yeah right. 노약자석. And there are some more of these seats on the opposite side too.
Hyunwoo: Yeah. 맞아요(majayo). Do you want to move to the next car? 옆 칸으로 갈까요(Yeop kaneuro galkkayo)?
Gyeong-eun: Why not?
Hyunwoo: But wait, before we go, 옆 칸(yeop kan) means
Gyeong-eun: Next car, next booth.
Hyunwoo: Great job. Okay let’s go. Oh, there’s a man selling some stuff.
Gyeong-eun: Yeah. What do you think he is selling? 뭐 파는 것 같아요(Mwo paneun geot gatayo)?
Hyunwoo: I think he is selling electric razors according to what it says but people don’t seem to be interested, right?
Gyeong-eun: Yeah, right. Isn’t it actually illegal to sell things in the subway?
Hyunwoo: Of course it’s illegal but there are some people who still do it.
Gyeong-eun: Do you often buy from them? 자주 사세요(Jaju saseyo)?
Hyunwoo: No, not really. They are cheap but never good in quality.
Gyeong-eun: You are right. I don’t recommend buying anything from them either.
Hyunwoo: So please remember that and I think we are running out of time 경은.
Gyeong-eun: Yeah. We’ve almost arrived at our destination.
Hyunwoo: But 근데..where are we going again? I forgot. 우리 어디 가는 거였죠(Uri eodi ganeun geoyeotjyo)? 잊어버렸어요(Ijeobeoryeosseoyo).
Gyeong-eun: Oh you said you’d buy me dinner. 저녁 사 주기로 했잖아요(Jeonyeok sa jugiro haetjanayo).
Hyunwoo: Oh I see. Actually, I’ll let you buy me dinner for a change.
Gyeong-eun: Well, I am very happy today. So I will treat you but just this once.
Hyunwoo: Okay. I know a good place. 저 좋은데 알아요(Jeo joeunde arayo). let’s go.
Gyeong-eun: Okay. So everyone, we will see you next time.
