POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Debbie: Tim, can I ask you something?
Tim: Sure! You can ask me anything!
Debbie: How many national holidays are in Korea?
Tim: Hmm...National holidays...hmm...(속삭이며 whispering) 신정 (1.1), 설날, 3.1절, 어린이날, 성탄절... There are a lot...I think there are about 10 of them.
Debbie: (놀라며 with surprise) As many as 10? In the dialogue, Tim talked about 추석 "Korean Thanksgiving Day". Why don't we give the listeners some information about 추석?
Tim: Sounds good to me!
Debbie: First, let's start with the name. What does "추석" mean?
Tim: Great question! We call it either 추석 or 한.가.위. 한 is "to be big" and 가위 is "in the middle"; therefore, 한가위 means (강조하며 emphasizing) "a big day in the middle of August".
Debbie: Ah-ha! 추석 or 한가위 means (강조하며 emphasizing) "a big day in the middle of August!"
Okay...Let's talk about what Korean people do on that day.
Tim: First, Korean people pay a special tribute to the moon. But these days, not many people do that...
Debbie: Second, they ask for a year of abundant harvest from their ancestors. 추석 is one of the oldest national holidays, which means many things were related to agricultural matters and issues. However today, many Korean families would simply ask for a year of happiness and success instead.
Tim: Third, many families gather on this day and spend some quality family time together by playing games such as 씨름
Debbie: Which is "Korean traditional wrestling".
Tim: And 줄다리기.
Debbie: "Tug-of-war". And lastly, Korean people eat 송편, " a Korean traditional rice cake with a sweet filling" and pay respects to one's ancestors.
Tim: 송편 is so good! I want to eat 송편 now.
Debbie: Sorry, Tim. We don't have any 송편 around here, but we do have the lesson vocabulary to look through.
Tim: Okay...

Debbie: Okay, sounds good! Now let's move on to the lesson focus.

Lesson focus

Debbie: The focus of this lesson is "from time A to time B" - time A 부터 time B 까지.
Tim: It's very similar to the last lesson, "from place A to place B" - place A 에서부터 place B 까지.
Debbie: However, when we talk about time, we don't say 에서 in the beginning. Okay guys. Let's practice it together.
Tim: Okay. Let's start with "from time A" - A부터.
Debbie: This particle, 부터, marks a specific day or time of starting the event. The formation is...
Tim: Time + "from" 부터. Debbie, can you give us examples?
Debbie: How about... "from Monday"?
Tim: 월요일 "Monday" + 부터 "from" - so, "from Monday" is "월요일부터". Please repeat after me, 월요일부터.
[pause]
Debbie: Great! This time... how about "from 9 a.m."?
Tim: 오전 "a.m." + 아홉 시 "nine o'clock" + 부터 "from" - so, "from 9 a.m." is "아홉 시부터". Please repeat after me. 아홉시부터.
[pause]
Debbie: Great! This time... how about "from November 1st?"
Tim: 십일 월 "November" + 일 일 "1st" + 부터 "from" - so, "from November 1st" is 십일 월 일일 부터. Please repeat after me, 십일 월 일일부터.
[pause]
Debbie: Wonderful! This time, let's learn about "to/until time B" - B까지. This particle, 까지, marks a specific day/time that an event ends. The formation is...
Tim: Time + 까지 "to/until". Some examples, Debbie?
Debbie: Okay...hmm... How about "until Saturday"?
Tim: 토요일 "Saturday" + 까지 "till", so "until Saturday" is 토요일까지. Please repeat after me, 토요일까지.
[pause]
Debbie: Great! This time... How about "until 1 p.m."?
Tim: 오후 "p.m." + 한 시 "one o'clock" + 까지 is "until", so "until 1 p.m." is 오후 한 시 까지. Please repeat after me, 오후 한 시 까지.
[pause]
Debbie: Good! This time...How about "until November 9th"?
Tim: 십일 월 "November" + 구일 "9th" + 까지 "until", so "until November 9th" is 십일 월 구일 까지. Please repeat after me, 십일 월 구일 까지.
[pause]
Debbie: Excellent! Guys! Lastly, we are going to practice "from time A to time B" - A부터 B까지. Are you guys ready?
Tim: Let's do it together!
Debbie: "From Monday to Saturday" is...?
Tim: "From Monday" is 월요일부터. "To Saturday" is 토요일까지, so together we have... 월요일부터 토요일까지.
Debbie: Please repeat after Tim. "From Monday to Saturday"...
Tim: 월요일부터 토요일까지.
[pause]
Debbie: Excellent! This time, how about "from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m."?
Tim: "From 9 a.m." is 오전 아홉 시부터 and "to one p.m." is 오후 한 시 까지, so altogether... 오전 아홉 시부터 오후 한 시 까지.
Debbie: Please repeat after Tim, "from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.".
Tim: 오전 아홉 시부터 오후 한 시 까지.
[pause]
