| Tim: Okay... (완전 자연스럽고 재밌게) 여보세요? |
| Debbie: 하하! That's the one! By the way, instead of 여보세요 "hello", can we say, "who's there"? |
| Tim: That would be 누구세요? |
| Debbie: One more time please... |
| Tim: 누.구.세.요 - 누구세요. |
| Debbie: (실망스러운 목소리와 재밌는 목소리를 원하며) Tim...!!! |
| Tim: Okay. (완전 재밌게) 누구세요? |
| Debbie: 하하! Yes guys, you may use both 여보세요 and 누구세요, but... |

| Debbie: Excellent guys! Now let's move on to the lesson focus! |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Debbie: The focus of this lesson is "Pure-Korean Numbers". |
| Tim: These numbers are used when counting. |
| Debbie: Okay. Let's practice them. Listeners, please repeat after Tim from 1 to 10. Ready, Tim? |
| Tim: Yes. Here we go. |
| 하나 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 둘 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 셋 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 넷 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 다섯 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 여섯 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 일곱 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 여덟 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 아홉 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| 열 |
| [pause 1 second] |
| Debbie: Great! This time, Tim is going to separate them into five groups, "1, 2" and "3, 4" and "5, 6" and "7, 8" and "9, 10". Repeat after Tim. |
| Tim: 하나, 둘 |
| [pause 2 seconds] |
| Tim: 셋, 넷 |
| [pause 2 seconds] |
| Tim: 다섯, 여섯 |
| [pause 2 seconds] |
| Tim: 일곱, 여덟 |
| [pause 2 seconds] |
| Tim: 아홉, 열 |
| [pause 2 seconds] |
| Debbie: Great! Okay this time, the numbers will be separated into two groups, "1 to 5" and "6 to 10". Please repeat after Tim. |
| Tim: 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯 |
| [pause 3 seconds] |
| Tim: 여섯, 일곱, 여덟, 아홉, 열 |
| [pause 3 seconds] |
| Debbie: Wonderful! This time "from 1 to 10"! Are you guys ready? Please repeat after Tim with a louder voice. |
| Tim: 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷, 다섯, 여섯, 일곱, 여덟, 아홉, 열! |
| [pause 5 seconds] |
| Debbie: Excellent work, guys! After ten, simply add the number to the word 열, meaning "ten". |
| Tim: For example, "eleven" is 열 "ten" + 하나 "one", so together 열. 하.나 - 열 하나. |
| "twelve" is 열 "ten" + 둘 "two", so together 열. 둘 - 열 둘. and just like that, keep counting. |
| Debbie: Tim, can you introduce the four important counting units used with 'Pure-Korean Numbers'? |
| Tim: Sure! 사람 "people", 개 "items", 시 "o'clock", and 시간 "hours". |
| Debbie: Listeners, please take a look at the lesson notes for a more detailed explanation on the counting units. |
| Tim: And please give yourself enough time to look through that. It's very challenging to remember all the counting units. |
| Debbie: Okay, we will only be practicing "o'clock" here. |
| Tim: It's simple! For example, "5 o'clock" is 다섯 "five" + 시 "o'clock", so it becomes 다.섯. 시 - 다섯 시. How about "10 o'clock", Debbie? |
| Debbie: "Ten" is 열 and "o'clock" is 시 in Korean, so it becomes 열. 시 - 열시. |
| Tim: Great! But you have to be careful with the numbers from 1 to 4. |
| Debbie: Why? |
| Tim: When you add a noun or a counting unit to the pure- Korean numbers, 하나 "one" becomes 한. Therefore, "one o'clock" is 한.시 - 한 시 in Korean. |
| Debbie: 둘 "two" becomes 두. therefore, "two o'clock" is 두.시 - 두 시 in Korean. |
| Tim: 셋 "three" becomes 세. therefore, "three o'clock" is 세.시 - 세 시 in Korean. |
| Debbie: 넷 "four" becomes 네. therefore, "four o'clock" is 네.시 - 네 시 in Korean. |
Outro |
| Debbie: Okay listeners, That's all for this lesson. |
| Tim: 그럼, 다음 시간까지 안녕~~ |
