INTRODUCTION
Seol: 안녕하세요. 윤설입니다. (Annyeonghaseyo. Yunseorimnida.)
Hyunwoo: 안녕하세요. 선현우입니다. (Annyeonghaseyo. Seonhyeonuimnida.)
Keith: Keith here. Up, Down, Left, Right.
Seol: What is that?
Hyunwoo: Are we dancing?
Keith: Well don’t ask me.
Hyunwoo: Up and down, dancing.
Seol: Yeah.
Keith: Up, down dance….
Hyunwoo: Yeah that’s right.
Keith: Okay well at KoreanClass101.com, we do a little dancing over here, we will do a little salsa.
Hyunwoo: Oh salsa!
Seol: Salsa, no…
Keith: All right. Nobody does salsa, nobody does any – oh well, Hyunwoo, you do break dancing. Up, down, left, right.
Hyunwoo: Yeah up, down, left, right turnaround.
Keith: And Seol what about you yourself?
Seol: Well…Nothing.
Keith: Nothing.
Seol: Nothing. Disco maybe.
Keith: Disco.
Seol: Yeah.
Keith: Are you living in the 70s?
Seol: Yeah like you remember the movie Friday you know, something disco that John Travolta.
Keith: Boogie Nights!
Seol: Yeah. That kind of thing. Maybe I guess so, I don’t know.
Keith: All right. Well…
Hyunwoo: What are we talking about?
Keith: We are talking about Ryuji over here. Up, down, left, right.
Hyunwoo: Yeah, yeah, yeah…
Keith: And as that’s the title, we are talking about directions today. Front, back, left, right, up. I guess we don’t have up and down.
Seol: No.
Keith: But it sounds better okay.
Seol: Yes.
Keith: It sounds better. So we have up, down, left, right and well, front, back, left, right and to the side and we are also going to be introducing essential nouns. All right and to do a little recap, Hyunwoo, can you tell us what happened in our last episode?
Hyunwoo: In our last episode, Ryuji was asking for food, water, and something really, really dangerous. Do you remember?
Seol: Yeah, I remember and I hope listeners all remember what Ryuji asked for.
Hyunwoo: What was it Keith?
Keith: A knife.
Hyunwoo: A knife.
Seol: Ah…
Hyunwoo: 칼 (kal) and we can finally figure out where he is going with that knife today.
Keith: All right. So in today’s conversation, Ryuji is talking to 아저씨(ajeossi). Once again the title mister and he is asking for directions to a certain place. All right, so with that said, let’s listen in.

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Keith: All right and as these are directional words, we are going to need a special particle for this and we don’t want to get too much into the grammar but just to let you know, you need something at the end of these words to indicate the direction that you are talking about. So what’s that particle that we need?
Seol: 에. (e.)
Keith: Let’s have those words with the particle, front.
Seol: 앞에. (ape.)
Keith: So that’s now in front instead of just front, in front. Next we have
Seol: 뒤에. (dwie.)
Keith: Behind. In the back of. So with that particle, it gives you the location. So in the back of, behind. Not just the noun, but the location. Next we have
Seol: 왼쪽에. (oenjjoge.)
Keith: To the left. It gives you that location. Next we have
Seol: 오른쪽에. (oreunjjoge.)
Keith: To the right. Next to, with the location.
Hyunwoo: 제 오른쪽에 윤설이 있어요. (je oreunjjoge yunseori isseoyo.)
Keith: To my right is 윤설 (yunseol).
Hyunwoo: 제 왼쪽에 (je oenjjoge) Keith가 있어요(ga isseoyo).
Keith: To my left is Keith. So if you remember, we have 에 있어요 (e isseoyo) that verb, that verb of existence in a certain location. That’s what we are using today. So let’s see it in use in today’s conversation. The first line we have is
Seol: 아저씨… 경찰서가 어디예요? (ajeossitt gyeongchalseoga eodiyeyo?)
Keith: Okay first we have
Seol: 아저씨 (ajeossi)
Keith: Mister, the title.
Seol: 경찰서 (gyeongchalseo)
Keith: Police station.
Seol: 가 (ga)
Keith: Subject marking particle.
Seol: 어디예요 (eodiyeyo)?
Keith: Where is. Now this is a great phrase to know if you are learning Korean. Can we have that phrase again?
Seol: 어디예요(eodiyeyo)?
Keith: Where is it and whatever you are looking for, just put it before that phrase. So let’s go over a few examples.
Seol: 학교가 어디예요? (hakgyoga eodiyeyo?)
Keith: Where is the school?
Hyunwoo: 아가씨, 집이 어디예요? (agassi, jibi eodiyeyo?)
Keith: 아가씨 (agassi) is a young lady, where is your home 집(jip). 집 (jip) home 어디예요(eodiyeyo) where is. So whatever you are looking for, in front and then you add 어디예요 (eodiyeyo) where is. All right next we have
Hyunwoo: 경찰서(gyeongchalseo)?
Keith: Police station. Rising intonation, it’s a question.
Hyunwoo: 지하철 역 앞에 있어. (jihacheol yeok ape isseo.)
Keith: All right. Let’s slow down for that. First word we have is
Hyunwoo: 지하철 역. (jihacheol yeok.)
Keith: Subway station. Now once again, this is another great phrase to know if you are going to be in Korea because subways are a great way to travel in Korea. All right, so we have 지하철 역 (jihacheol yeok) subway station and now we have
Hyunwoo: 앞에 (ape)
Keith: Let’s break that down real quick.
Hyunwoo: 앞 (ap)
Keith: Front.
Hyunwoo: 에 (e)
Keith: That locational particle that we need. So 앞에 (ape) in front. And now we have
Hyunwoo: 있어. (isseo.)
Keith: Is, exists. So in front exists, it’s in front. So when you ask question 어디에 있어요(eodie isseoyo) what’s the answer you would likely get?
Hyunwoo: 어디 어디에 있어. (eodi eodie isseo.)
Keith: Directional word 에 that particle 있어요 (isseoyo) is, exists. All right, so here he says 지하철 역 앞에 (jihacheol yeok ape) subway station in front of 있어 (isseo) exists. And this is in the intimate politeness level. To raise up the politeness a little bit, you can just add 요, 있어요. (yo, isseoyo.) All right next we have
Seol: 아줌마… 경찰서가 어디예요? (ajummatt gyeongchalseoga eodiyeyo?)
Keith: Same question as before 경찰서가 어디예요?. (gyeongchalseoga eodiyeyo?.) Police station where is, where is the police station. All right, next we have
Hyunwoo: 경찰서? (gyeongchalseo?)
Keith: Police station? Rising intonation, it’s a question and now we have
Hyunwoo: 은행 뒤에 있어. (eunhaeng dwie isseo.)
Keith: Okay let’s break it down.
Hyunwoo: 은행 (eunhaeng)
Keith: Bank.
Hyunwoo: 뒤 (dwi)
Keith: Behind.
Hyunwoo: 에 (e)
Keith: That locational particle
Hyunwoo: 있어 (isseo).
Keith: Exist at. So behind its bank behind at is, it’s behind the bank. All right, in the next line, we have
Seol: 아저씨… 경찰서가 어디예요? (ajeossitt gyeongchalseoga eodiyeyo?)
Keith: Same question again. Mister, where is the police station and now we have
Hyunwoo: 편의점 옆에 있어요. (pyeonuijeom yeope isseoyo.)
Keith: Okay the first word is
Hyunwoo: 편의점 (pyeonuijeom)
Keith: Convenient store.
Hyunwoo: 옆 (yeop)
Keith: Next
Hyunwoo: 에 (e)
Keith: At.
Hyunwoo: 있어요(isseoyo).
Keith: Is. It’s next to the convenient store and now Ryuji is walking a little bit more.
Seol: 편의점 오른쪽에 있어요? (pyeonuijeom oreunjjoge isseoyo?)
Keith: Okay let’s break it down real quick.
Seol: 편의점 (pyeonuijeom)
Keith: Convenient store.
Seol: 오른쪽 (oreunjjok)
Keith: Right followed by
Seol: 에 (e)
Keith: At.
Seol: 있어요(isseoyo)?
Keith: Is. So convenient store right at is, is it to the right of the convenient store or is it at the right of the convenient store. All right now we have
Hyunwoo: 아니요. 왼쪽에 있어요. (aniyo. oenjjoge isseoyo.)
Keith: No. Let’s break down that second half.
Hyunwoo: 왼쪽 (oenjjok)
Keith: Left.
Hyunwoo: 에 (e)
Keith: At
Hyunwoo: 있어요(isseoyo).
Keith: It exist is. So left at exist. It’s at the left or it’s to the left. These 오른쪽 (oreunjjok) and 왼쪽 (oenjjok) are very, very useful whenever you are taking a taxi or if you are asking for directions. 어디에 있어요? 은행 어디에 있어요? 경찰서가 어디에 있어요? (eodie isseoyo? eunhaeng eodie isseoyo? gyeongchalseoga eodie isseoyo?) When you are asking where things are, 왼쪽, 오른쪽 (oenjjok, oreunjjok) those are the two basic ones that you are going to need, left and right and the way I remembered it when I was a child was 왼 (oen) is one syllable, that’s left and 오른 (oreun) is right, two syllables and my mom always told me, oh the right one is the more important one. Everyone writes with the right hand. So the less important one is one syllable, the more important one, two syllables.
Seol: Yeah good way to remember.
Keith: I don’t know. That’s what my mom told me. All right and lastly just finish this up.
Seol: 아! 여기다. (a! yeogida.)
Keith: Okay ah it’s here. All right, so he found police station.
Hyunwoo: 경찰서를 찾았군요. (gyeongchalseoreul chajatgunyo.) What’s going to happen?
Keith: Well the listeners are going to have to stick around and find out. Newbie Lesson #25 is our last in this series.
Seol: Oh really?
Keith: Yeah. It’s going to be our grand finale.
Hyunwoo: What’s going to happen to Ryuji after that?
Keith: I don’t know. Go back to jail? He is looking for the police station. Something is going to happen.
Hyunwoo: Ah…

Outro

Keith: Okay that’s going to do it. See you guys next week.
Seol: Bye bye.
Hyunwoo: 감사합니다. (gamsahamnida.)
