POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Keith: Miseon-ssi, when was the last time you went on a trip?
Miseon: It was two weeks ago actually.
Keith: That's right, You went to England.
Miseon: 네 (ne). 영국 이요. (yeongguk iyo.)
Keith: 재밌 었어요? (jaemit eosseoyo?) Was it fun?
Miseon: 너무 너무 재밌 었어요. (neomu neomu jaemit eosseoyo.)
Keith: I Really envy you.
Miseon: 네 (ne). You should.
Keith: Yeah, I do. But for Korean people I feel like they always envy people living in Europe. Because they can go to so many different countries. Really easily, they take the train and go anywhere. But I think many people in America or in Europe, they sometimes envy Korean people because they can go to Asian countries pretty easily and pretty quickly.
Miseon: Yeah, that's true. Although it’s not as simple as travelling within Europe. Korea is surrounded by many different countries like Japan, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, The Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and etc. etc. so, you know, you can actually travel easily.
Keith: To the Asian countries, I think most of the times you gotta take plane, but in Europe you get you know, hop on a train, which is quicker and easier.
Miseon: Yeah, 맞아요. (majayo.)
Keith: But I mean living in Korea that’s more than the price you get to travel in the Asia very easily.
Miseon: 네 (ne). Okay, for now let's stop talking about it and go to the vocab.
Keith: Sure, Good idea.

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Keith: All right. Let's take a closer look at a usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Miseon: Okay, the first word we’ll look at is 예쁘다 (yeppeuda).
Keith: “To be pretty”, and may be sometimes, “to be cute”.
Miseon: 예쁘다, 예쁘다. (yeppeuda, yeppeuda.)
Keith: And, I am sure many people are familiar with this word by now, but very often people don't pronounce it as it's written.
Miseon: That's true. Originally it's like I said, 예쁘다. (yeppeuda.)
Keith: Yeah but in a colloquial Korean a lot of people, how do they pronounce it?
Miseon: It's just 이쁘다. (ippeuda.)
Keith: Yeah, Is that the wrong way to pronounce it?
Miseon: No, not really. It's actually not standard, but you can not to say that's just wrong. It’s just very common.
Keith: Yeah, I think it is pretty common, but, you know. The standard one is 예쁘다 (yeppeuda), a lot of people say 이쁘다 (yeppeuda), can you show the difference?
Miseon: 예쁘다. 예뻐요. 이쁘다. 이뻐요. (yeppeuda. yeppeoyo. ippeuda. ippeoyo.)
Keith: So basically they all mean the same thing, “pretty”.
Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요. (majayo.)
Keith: Okay, what’s the next word we’re taking a look at?
Miseon: 어디어디 (eodieodi)
Keith: Where, which places?
Miseon: 어디어디 (eodieodi), 어디어디 (eodieodi).
Keith: Okay, and this word is actually just one word repeated.
Miseon: 어디 (eodi) means where. So, when you want to say which places, or which part, or where and where you can repeat 어디 (eodi) and say 어디어디 (eodieodi).
Keith: Okay. Are there any other similar words like that or expressions in Korean?
Miseon: There are some examples, but especially like 뭐뭐 (mwomwo).
Keith: and that one’s like what and what. More specifically and, when you translate it, you can say which ones.
Miseon: Right, and then 누구누구 (nugunugu).
Keith: Who and who. Repeat it and when you translated you could say; which people or which persons?
Miseon: Yeah, That's great.
Keith: All right. Well, great job. Let’s have a look at the focus for this lesson.
Miseon: 네 (ne).

Lesson focus

Keith: Miseon-ssi, what’s the focus for this lesson?
Miseon: The focus of this lesson is to do some practice using the past tense with expressions related to travelling.
Keith: as in the example...
Miseon: 호주는 언제 갔어? (hojuneun eonje gasseo?)
Keith: “When did you go to Australia?”
Miseon: 네 (ne), this lesson is a review of the usage of the past tense.
Keith: Okay, so, really quickly. How do you make a past tense sentence?
Miseon: As you know, when you make a sentence in the past tense, you add -았/었/였어 (-at/eot/yeosseo) after the verb stem.
Keith: Right, so last review by looking at some verbs that are related to travelling. How about, First when you travel you go somewhere. To go?
Miseon: 네 (ne), so let's look at a verb “to go” first.
Keith: All right, what's to go?
Miseon: 가다 (gada). and you add 았어 (asseo), so it becomes 갔어 (gasseo).
Keith: All right, and if you want to be more polite, of course.
Miseon: You can say 갔어요 (gasseoyo).
Keith: Okay, How about we went somewhere, and we have to stay somewhere, how do we say “to stay”?
Miseon: To stay is the same verb as “to be”, so it's 있다 (itda)
Keith: And how do we say the past tense for that?
Miseon: You say 있었어 (isseosseo), or 있었어요 (isseosseoyo) to be more polite.
Keith: Okay, so how was the past tense used in the dialogue for this lesson?
Miseon: 호주는 언제 갔어? (hojuneun eonje gasseo?)
Keith: "When did you go to Australia?"
Miseon: 작년에 갔어. (jangnyeone gasseo.)
Keith: "I went there last year."
Miseon: 호주 어디어디에 갔어? (hoju eodieodie gasseo?)
Keith: Which parts of Australia did you go to?"
Miseon: 얼마 동안 있었어? (eolma dongan isseosseo?)
Keith: "For how long did you stay there?"
Miseon: 일주일 동안 있었어. (iljuil dongan isseosseo.)
Keith: "I stayed there for a week."
Miseon: 뭐가 제일 좋았어? (mwoga jeil joasseo?)
Keith: "What did you like the best?"
Miseon: And I always ask this question to my friends too. What did you like the best? 뭐가 제일 좋았어? (mwoga jeil joasseo?)
Keith: Right, and I also ask my friends “what did you do?” In that case, how would you say, “what did you do in Australia?”
