| Debbie: Great! And we will also learn how to say, "as many as" or "as much as", and "how many?" in Korean. Where does this conversation take place? |
| Tim: At the swimming pool - 수영장에서. |
| Debbie: The conversation is between... |
| Tim: Tim and Sujin. |
| Debbie: Since this conversation is between two friends, the speakers will use informal Korean. |
| Tim: 반말 입니다. |
| Debbie: Let's listen to the conversation. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Debbie: Can I ask you something? |
| Tim: Sure, anything. |
| Debbie: In Korea, is it common for females to wear bikinis at the swimming pool? |
| Tim: It wasn't common at all in the past, but that's definitely changing now. |
| Debbie: Hmm... interesting! |
| Tim: When I was very young, almost no one wore bikinis at the swimming pool. |
| Debbie: But now...? |
| Tim: It's a different story. Women can wear whatever they want. |
| Debbie: Listeners, as you guys just heard from Tim, if you plan to visit Korea in summer, you don't have to worry about what you are going to wear at a swimming pool or at any beach in Korea. |
| Tim: Debbie, why don't we give KoreanClass101.com listeners some tips about summer vacation in Korea? |
| Debbie: Great idea, Tim! (흥분하기 시작하며..) "This is..." |
| Tim: 두두두두... |
| Debbie: (더 흥분을 하며) "Exclusively for..." |
| Tim: 두두두두... |
| Debbie: "KoreanClass101.com listeners!" |
| Tim: 빰빠라 빰~~! Tip #1 - Bring sunscreen! It's very hot and sunny in the summer, so make sure you have sunscreen with you. |
| Debbie: Tip #2 - Don't worry about what to wear at a swimming pool or at the beach. Any bathing suit or bikini should be fine. |
| Tim: Tip #3 - Bring lots and lots of water! Also, I wouldn't drink the water from any public washroom. |
| Debbie: Tip #4 - If it is really hot, go into any bank or department store. They always have the air conditioning on and it will help you cool down. And lastly... |

| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Debbie: Let's have a closer look at the usuage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. |
| Debbie: Let's have a closer look at the usage of some words from this lesson. The first word is...? |
| Tim: 이.나 - 이나 |
| Debbie: Meaning "as many as" or "as much as". It's often used when emphasizing the amount of something. |
| Tim: The formation goes like this. Pure-Korean Numbers + Counting units + 이나 ina "as many as" |
| Debbie: Which means, "as many as 3 times". Can you give us some examples, Tim? |
| Tim: (천천히 또박또박) 나는 밥을 하루에 5번이나 먹습니다 "I eat meals as many as (강조하며) "five" times a day." |
| Debbie: 하하~~ |
| 나는 - the subject, "I" |
| 밥을 - the object, "meal" |
| 하루에 - the adverb, "a day" |
| 다섯 - "five" |
| 번 - "times" |
| 이나 - "as many as" |
| 먹습니다 - the verb, "to eat" |
| So altogether... |
| Tim: 나는 밥을 하루에 5번이나 먹습니다. |
| Debbie: Here's one more example - (천천히 또박또박) 7명이나 있습니다 - "There are as many as seven people." |
| Tim: 일곱 - "seven" |
| 명 - "people" |
| 이나 - "as many as" |
| 있습니다 - "there are" |
| So altogether it becomes 일곱명이나 있습니다. |
| Debbie: Please repeat after Tim. What is "I eat meals (강조하며) "as many as" five times a day" in Korean? |
| Tim: (천천히 또박또박) 나는 밥을 하루에 다섯번"이나" 먹습니다. |
| Debbie: Please repeat after Tim. What is "There are (강조하며) "as many as" seven people" in Korean? |
| Tim: (천천히 또박또박) 일곱명이나 있습니다. |
| Debbie: Great! Finally, we have... |
| Tim: 몇. 개. 있.어? - 몇 개 있어? |
| Debbie: Meaning, "How many items are there?" It's used when asking about the number of (강조하며) "items". |
| Tim: 몇 - "How many" |
| 개 - "items" |
| 있어? - "is there / are there?" (it's casual form of 있.습.니.까?) |
| So all together it becomes 몇 개 있어? |
| Debbie: Let's practice that again. Please repeat after Tim. What's "How many items are there?" in informal Korean? |
| Tim: 몇 개 있어? |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: What's "How many items are there?" in formal Korean? |
| Tim: 몇 개 있습니까? |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Excellent! Now let's move on to the lesson focus! |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Debbie: The focus of this lesson is about "Counting Units used with Pure-Korean Numbers". |
| Tim: Let's review the "Pure-Korean Numbers" first. |
| Debbie: Let's separate the numbers into two groups, "1 to 5" and "6 to 10". Please repeat after Tim. |
| Tim: 하나. 둘. 셋. 넷. 다섯 |
| [pause 3 sec] |
| Tim: 여섯, 일곱, 여덟, 아홉, 열 |
| [pause 3 sec] |
| Debbie: Great! This time, lets start from 1 and go all the way to 10 without stopping in between! Are you guys ready? Please repeat after Tim. |
| Tim: 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯, 여섯, 일곱, 여덟, 아홉, 열! |
| [pause 5 sec] |
| Debbie: Excellent! We've learned about one of the Counting Units, 시 "o'clock" through Absolute Beginner Season 2, lesson 8. Today, we are going to learn and practice with two more counting units, either with 명 or 사람 for "people" and 개 for "items". |
| Tim: The formation goes like this |
| Debbie: Sure. What's "3 people" in Korean? |
| Tim: 세 is 'three" , and 명 or 사람 is "people" - So "three people" would either be 세 명 or 세 사람. |
| Debbie: What's "11 people" in Korean? |
| Tim: 열 한 is "eleven", and 명 or 사람 is "people" - So "eleven people" would be 열 한 명 or 열 한 사람. |
| Debbie: Okay listeners. We will give you numbers and a counting unit for "people" in Korean. Can you guys say it in Korean? Here we go. |
| Tim: Five people. Remember that "five" is 다섯. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: The answer is... |
| Tim: 다섯 명 or 다섯 사람. |
| Debbie: Okay this time, let's try thirteen people. |
| Tim: Remember that thirteen is 열 셋. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: The answer is... |
| Tim: 열세 명 or 열세 사람. |
| Debbie: Great! |
| Tim: Now let's practice with 개 "items". |
| Debbie: Two items. |
| Tim: Remember that two is 둘. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: The answer is... |
| Tim: 두 개. How about fourteen items? Remember that fourteen is 열 넷. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: The answer is... |
| Tim: 열네 개. |
| Debbie: Great. This time let's make simple sentences with 'Pure-Korean Numbers and Counting Units'. |
| Listeners, let's do it together. How would you say "There are 9 people over there." in Korean? |
| Tim: Well, "there are" is 있.습.니.다 in Korean and "over there" is 저.기.에 in Korean, and simply add "nine people" 아홉 명 or 아홉 사람. |
| Debbie: So altogether it becomes... |
| Tim: 저기에 아홉명이 있습니다 or 저기에 아홉사람이 있습니다. |
| Debbie: Great! This time... Let's try "How many apples are there?" in Korean? |
| Tim: "How many" is 몇 개 and "are there" is 있습니까?, and "apples" are 사과 in Korean. |
| Debbie: So altogether it becomes... |
| Tim: 사과가 몇개 있습니까? "How many apples are there?" |
| Debbie: (윗 문장에 대답을 하며) "There are as many as eight apples." |
| Tim: (천천히 또박 또박) 사과가 여덟개나 있습니다. Please repeat after me. |
| (또박또박 천천히) 사과가 여덟개나 있습니다. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Excellent! |
