| Jeongsu: Mihyeon, where are you now? |
| Mihyeon: Jeongsu! I'm sorry. I'm still in Gangnam. |
| Jeongsu: What? What time will it be when you arrive in Sinchon? |
| Mihyeon: I think it'll take about one hour. |
| Jeongsu: The performance starts in ten minutes, so even if you come now, it'll be late. |
| Mihyeon: Really? Should I take a taxi? |
| Jeongsu: No...even if you take a taxi, it'll take forty minutes. |
| Mihyeon: Then what should I do? |
| Jeongsu: Just...don't come. |
| Mihyeon: What? |
| Jeongsu: Because...even if you were to come now, it would be late. |
| Mihyeon: So you're going to watch the performance alone? |
| Jeongsu: I'm going in. Bye! |
| Mihyeon: Hey, Jeongsu! |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Hyunwoo: ๋ฏธ์ ์จ. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: What would you do if you are in ์ ์โs shoes, would you wait for ๋ฏธํ orโฆ |
| Miseon: Well I usually leave the ticket in the ticket booth for my you know friend who is late like more than 20 minutes, 30 minutes. |
| Hyunwoo: I see. |
| Miseon: Yeah but I donโt want to wait for my friends all the time. So I just want to go inโฆ |
| Hyunwoo: Right. |
| Miseon: For performance. What about you? |
| Hyunwoo: Well I never thought about the possibility of leaving the ticket at the ticket booth but I think what ์ ์ really wanted to do was watching the performance and not necessarily spending time with ๋ฏธํ. |
| Miseon: Thatโs true yeah. |
| Hyunwoo: So I think if itโs someone that I want to spend time with, I would just give up watching the show and just wait. |
| Miseon: But what if itโs an expensive ticket? |
| Hyunwoo: Uh-oh! |
| Miseon: ์. |
| Hyunwoo: I forgot about that for a second. May be it will depend on how much the tickets cost. |
| Miseon: You sure? |
| Hyunwoo: Just kidding but talking about the price of the tickets, do you think the performances that you can watch in theaters are expensive in Korea? |
| Miseon: Well they are not cheap, right? But I donโt think they are too expensive compared to other countries. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah I donโt think so either. A very good musical will be between 30, 50 or up to $70. So I donโt think itโs too bad. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. And if the performance is really, really good quality, you canโt complain. |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Hyunwoo: I think so. You are right. So why donโt we have a look at the vocab now? |
| Miseon: ๋ค, ๊ฐ์๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: ๋ค. ์ฒซ ๋ฒ์งธ๋ก |

| Miseon: ๋ค์ด๊ฐ๋ค [slowly - broken down by syllable] ๋ค์ด๊ฐ๋ค [natural native speed] |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Hyunwoo: All right. Now letโs have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. ์ฒซ ๋ฒ์งธ๋ก |
| Miseon: ์์ง |
| Hyunwoo: Still, not yet. |
| Miseon: ์์ง [slowly - broken down by syllable] ์์ง [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: You know in English, still and not yet are usually used in separate context but in Korean, this single word ์์ง is used for both still and not yet. |
| Miseon: ๋ค, ๋ง์์. I think itโs best if we look at some examples. |
| Hyunwoo: You are right indeed. Soโฆ |
| Miseon: Please. |
| Hyunwoo: How do you say, are you still here? |
| Miseon: ์์ง ์ฌ๊ธฐ ์์ด์? |
| Hyunwoo: And how do you say, you didnโt leave yet? |
| Miseon: ์์ง ์ ๊ฐ์ด์? |
| Hyunwoo: As you can see, ์์ง is used for both the meaning of still and the meaning of not yet in Korean. With that in mind, what is the next word we are looking at? |
| Miseon: Okay next word is ๊ณต์ฐ. |
| Hyunwoo: Performance. |
| Miseon: ๊ณต์ฐ [slowly - broken down by syllable] ๊ณต์ฐ [natural native speed] |
| Hyunwoo: And what kind of performances are there? Can we name a few types in Korea? |
| Miseon: Sure. One thing is ์ฐ๊ทน. |
| Hyunwoo: Play. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. Another one is ๋ฎค์ง์ปฌ. |
| Hyunwoo: Which is musical. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. And another one is ์์ ํ or ์ฝ์ํธ. |
| Hyunwoo: ์์ ํ or ์ฝ์ํธ, which is concert. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: ์์ means music, ํ means an event. So ์์ ํ is the same thing as ์ฝ์ํธ. |
| Miseon: ๋ค, ๋ง์์. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Hyunwoo: Okay. On to the grammar point. What is the grammar point of this lesson? |
| Miseon: The grammar point of this lesson is how to say Even If in Korean. |
| Hyunwoo: As in the example. |
| Miseon: ์ง๊ธ ์ถ๋ฐํ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ๋ฆ์ ๊ฑฐ์ผ. |
| Hyunwoo: Even if you were to leave now, you would be late. |
| Miseon: ์. When you want to say, even if you do something or even if something happens, you can use this structure ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah the part ๋ at the end of the verb stem has the meaning of even if on its own but combined with ๋ค๊ณ ํ๋ค the nuance of even if is amplified. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. ๋ค๊ณ ํ๋ค literally means to say that |
| Hyunwoo: Yeah so the entire structure ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ means even if you say or even if they say. |
| Miseon: And this is a little bit clearer and stronger than just saying something, something ๋. |
| Hyunwoo: So letโs look at how you can use it in the sentence. |
| Miseon: Well the usage for this ending can be divided into two. |
| Hyunwoo: All right. How? |
| Miseon: For actual verbs, you add ใด๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: And |
| Miseon: And for descriptive verbs, you add just ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: I see. Without the ๋ part, right? |
| Miseon: ๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: So itโs not entirely different? |
| Miseon: ๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: So letโs look at some examples. Shall we? |
| Miseon: ๋ค. Sure for example, ๊ฐ๋ค becomes ๊ฐ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: Even if you go. |
| Miseon: And ๋จน๋ค becomes ๋จน๋๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: Even if you eat. |
| Miseon: And if you look at a descriptive verb |
| Hyunwoo: Oh how about ์์๋ค my favorite word. |
| Miseon: ์, ๋ง์์. ๋ฏธ์ ์ด๋ ์๋ป์. |
| Hyunwoo: ๋ค, ๋ฏธ์ ์จ๋ ์๋ป์. |
| Miseon: ๋ค, ๊ฐ์ฌํฉ๋๋ค. ์์๋ค becomes ์์๋ค๊ณ ํด๋. |
| Hyunwoo: Great. So how was this structure used in the dialogue for this lesson? |
| Miseon: ์ง๊ธ ์จ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ๋ฆ์ ๊ฑฐ์ผ. |
| Hyunwoo: Even if you come now, it will be late. |
| Miseon: ํ์ ํ๊ณ ์จ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ 40๋ถ ๊ฑธ๋ฆด ๊ฑฐ์ผ. |
| Hyunwoo: Even if you take a taxi, it will take 40 minutes. |
| Miseon: ์จ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ๋ฆ์ผ๋๊น ... |
| Hyunwoo: Because even if you were to come now, it would be late. Great, now letโs look at some more sample sentences. |
| Miseon: ๋ค, ์ข์ต๋๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: So ๋ฏธ์ ์จ how do you say even if it rains tomorrow, I will still go. |
| Miseon: ๋ด์ผ ๋น๊ฐ ์จ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ๋๋ ๊ฐ ๊ฑฐ์ผ. |
| Hyunwoo: ์ด๋์์? |
| Miseon: ๊ณต์์์. |
| Hyunwoo: What are you going to do on a rainy day in the park? |
| Miseon: I donโt know. Donโt ask me. |
| Hyunwoo: I hope itโs just a sample sentence. Otherwise I am suspicious. |
| Miseon: Right. |
| Hyunwoo: How about even if you were to help me it would take a long time. |
| Miseon: ๋ค๊ฐ ๋์์ค๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ์๊ฐ์ด ์ค๋ ๊ฑธ๋ฆด ๊ฑฐ์ผ. |
| Hyunwoo: And how about even if laptop computers are more convenient, some of them are too expensive. |
| Miseon: ๋ ธํธ๋ถ ์ปดํจํฐ๊ฐ ๋ ํธ๋ฆฌํ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ์ด๋ค ๊ฒ์ ๋๋ฌด ๋น์ธ์. |
| Hyunwoo: And how about even if no one is going, I will still go. |
| Miseon: ์๋ฌด๋ ์ ๊ฐ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ์ ๋ ๊ฐ ๊ฑฐ์์. |
| Hyunwoo: To the park on a rainy day right? |
| Miseon: ๋ค. ํ์ฐ์จ๊ฐ ๊ณ์ ๋๋ฆฐ๋ค๊ณ ํด๋ ์ ๋ ๊ผญ ๊ฐ ๊ฑฐ์์. |
| Hyunwoo: Well so even if I keep teasing you, you will still go. |
| Miseon: ๋ค. |
| Hyunwoo: And I will be following you. |
| Miseon: Okay thatโs good together. |
