| Debbie: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is... |
| Tim: 주.세.요 - 주세요. |
| Debbie: Meaning "please give me". We've already covered this expression 주세요 "please give me" in... |
| Tim: Absolute Beginner Season 2 Lesson 1. It's a review. |
| Debbie: Okay! Then let's make sample sentences together. We've just learned about "prescription" from today's vocab. |
| Tim: Yes, 처.방.전 - 처방전. |

| Tim: Please repeat after me. 처방전 주세요. |

| Debbie: How about... "medicine"? |
| Tim: 약 - 약. |
| Debbie: Then "please give me medicine" is... |
| Tim: Please repeat after me. 약 주세요. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Great! Next we have, |
| Tim: 무.슨. 일.이.야? - 무슨 일이야? |
| Debbie: Meaning, "what's the matter?" This is a common expression that Koreans use when they're faced with something unexpected. How do you say, "what's the matter, Tim?" |
| Tim: 팀. 무.슨. 일.이.야? - 팀, 무슨 일이야? |
| Debbie: Listeners, try to imagine that you just met Tim and that he seems to be in pain. Together, let's ask him, "what's the matter, Tim?" 팀, 무슨 일이야? |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Tim, now you answer them. |
| Tim: 데비 때문에, 머리가 아파. "My head hurts because of Debbie!" |
| Debbie: 하하. Tim is still talking about the bump on his head. Last we have... |

| Debbie: 뻥이야! "Just kidding!" |

| Debbie: 하하. Now let's move on the lesson focus! |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Debbie: In this lesson, you will learn how to express and say "because / because of" in Korean. Please repeat after Tim. "because / because of" |
| Tim: 때.문.에 - 때문에 |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: 때문에 means "because or because of", and is used when expressing the "reason or cause" for an action or state. What's the formation, Tim? |
| Tim: [Noun] + 때문에. |
| Debbie: Okay! Let's make some sentences together. How about we use an example from the dialogue... "Sujin got a cold because of Tim."? |
| Tim: Let's break it down. "Because of Tim" is 팀, 때문에, |
| Debbie: "Sujin got a cold" is 수진은, 감기에, 걸렸다. Please repeat after Tim. " Sujin got a cold because of Tim." |
| Tim: 팀 때문에, 수진은 감기에 걸렸다. |
| [pause] |
| Debbie: Hmm... how about... "Korean is fun because of Tim!"? |
| Tim: Really? I hope you really mean it. Okay. "because of Tim" is 팀 때문에. |
| Debbie: "Korean is fun" is (천천히 또박또박) 한국어"는" 재밌다. So, all together, "Korean is fun because of Tim" is...? |
| Tim: (천천히 또박또박) 팀 때문에, 한국어는, 재밌다. Please repeat after me. 팀 때문에 한국어는 재밌다. |
| [pause] |
| Tim: "Thank you Debbie and everyone!" Okay! How about..."We like Korean because of Debbie"? |
| Debbie: You better not say, 뻥이야 "just kidding", this time. Okay, "Because of Debbie" is 데비, 때문에 - 데비 때문에, |
| Tim: "We like Korean" is 우리는, 한국어를, 좋아해 - 우리는 한국어를 좋아해. So altogether, "We like Korean because of Debbie" is...? |
| Debbie: (천천히 또박또박) 데비 때문에, 우리는, 한국어를, 좋아해. Please repeat after me. 데비 때문에 한국어를 좋아해. |
| [pause] |
| Tim: Excellent! Okay, now let's make the last sentence... |
| Debbie: Hmm.... How about, "I got a shot on the arm because I caught a cold"? |
| Tim: What a good example! "because of a cold" is 감기, 때문에 = 감기 때문에. |
| Debbie: "on the arms" is 팔,에 - 팔에. |
| Tim: "I got a shot" is 나는, 주사를, 맞았다 - 나는 주사를 맞았다. |
| Debbie: Literally, this means "I got a shot on the arm because of a cold". In more natural English, we might say "because I caught a cold". But in Korean, we literally just say "because of a cold." 감기 때문에. |
| Please repeat after Tim, |
| Tim: 감기 때문에, 나는 팔에 주사를 맞았다. |
| [pause] |
