Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Brandon: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Korean learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.
GRAMMAR POINT
Brandon: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Can you eat Korean food?” In Korean this is
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까? (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)
Brandon: The first word in the question is
Kyejin: 한국음식 (hangugeumsik)
Brandon: meaning “Korean food” in English.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 한국음식 (hangugeumsik)
Brandon: Listen again and repeat.
Kyejin: 한국음식 (hangugeumsik)
{Pause}
Brandon: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is
Kyejin: 을 (eul)
Brandon: object marking particle.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 을 (eul)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 을 (eul)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat.
Kyejin: 한국음식을 (hangugeumsigeul)
{pause}
Brandon: And next
Kyejin: 먹을 수 있습니 (meogeul su itseumni)
Brandon: This is the form of the expression
Kyejin: 먹을 수 있습니다. (meogeul su itseumnida.)
Brandon: meaning “can eat.”, “to be able to eat.”
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 먹을 수 있습니 (meogeul su itseumni)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 먹을 수 있습니 (meogeul su itseumni)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat.
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니 (hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumni)
{pause}
Brandon: And next
Kyejin: 까 (kka)
Brandon: question marking particle.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 까 (kka)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 까 (kka)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까. (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)
{pause}
Brandon: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question “Can you eat Korean food?”
Kyejin: 네. 맛있습니다. (Ne. Masitseumnida.)
Brandon: "Yes, it's delicious.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase.
Kyejin: (Slow) 네. 맛있습니다. (Ne. Masitseumnida.)
Brandon: Let's break the first response down from the beginning. The first word:
Kyejin: 네 (ne)
Brandon: means “yes.”
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 네 (ne)
Brandon: Now repeat
Kyejin: 네 (ne)
{Pause}
Brandon: And next we have
Kyejin: 맛있습니다. (Masitseumnida.)
Brandon: meaning “delicious.” or “It’s delicious.”
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 맛있습니다. Masitseumnida.)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 맛있습니다. (Masitseumnida.)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, it's delicious.,” and then repeat.
Kyejin: 네. 맛있습니다. (Ne. Masitseumnida.)
{pause}
Brandon: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, it's delicious.,” and then repeat.
Kyejin: 네. 맛있습니다. (Ne. Masitseumnida.)
Brandon: To expand on the pattern, replace “It’s delicious” with “I like it very much.”
Kyejin: 매우 좋아합니다. (Maeu joahamnida.)
Brandon: I like it very much.
Kyejin: (slow) 매우 좋아합니다. (Maeu joahamnida.)
(regular) 매우 좋아합니다. (Maeu joahamnida.)
Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “I like it very much”
Kyejin: 네. 매우 좋아합니다. (Ne. Maeu joahamnida.)
Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “It’s delicious” with “I like it very much”. Say “Yes, I like it very much.”
{pause}
Kyejin: 네. 매우 좋아합니다. (Ne. Maeu joahamnida.)
Brandon: To use a different phrase, first replace “I like it very much.” with “It’s healthy.”
Kyejin: 몸에 좋습니다. (Mome joseumnida.)
Brandon: It’s healthy.
Kyejin: (slow) 몸에 좋습니다. (Mome joseumnida.)
(regular)몸에 좋습니다. (Mome joseumnida.)
Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “Yes, it’s healthy.’
Kyejin: 네. 몸에 좋습니다. (Ne. Mome joseumnida.)
Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the “I like it very much.” with “It’s healthy”. Say “Yes, it’s healthy.”
{pause}
Kyejin: 네. 몸에 좋습니다. (Ne. Mome joseumnida.)
Brandon: To use a different phrase, replace “It’s healthy.” with “I don’t like it that much.”
Kyejin: 별로 안 좋아합니다. (Byeollo an joahamnida.)
Brandon: I don’t like it that much.
Kyejin: (slow) 별로 안 좋아합니다. (Byeollo an joahamnida.)
(regular) 별로 안 좋아합니다. (Byeollo an joahamnida.)
Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “I don’t like it that much’ In this case, it sounds more natural to say ‘No’ at the beginning of the sentence.
Kyejin: 아니요. 별로 안 좋아합니다. (Aniyo, byeollo an joahamnida.)
Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “It’s healthy.” with “I don’t like it that much.” Say “I don’t like it that much.”
{pause}
Kyejin: 별로에요.
(Byeolloeyo.)
Brandon: To say "No, I cannot eat it." to this question, just say:
Kyejin: 아니요. 먹을 수 없습니다. (Aniyo. Meogeul su eopseumnida.)
Brandon: It means ‘No, I cannot.’ in English. Let's hear it slowly
{pause}
Kyejin: (slowly) 아니요. 먹을 수 없습니다. (Aniyo. Meogeul su eopseumnida.)
Brandon: And one more time at normal speed. Let’s listen to the question and the answer together.
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까? (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)
Kyejin: 아니요. 먹을 수 없습니다. (Aniyo. Meogeul su eopseumnida.)
{Pause}

Brandon: Now it's time for a quiz. Imagine you are visiting South Korea and someone asks if you can eat Korean food. You want to answer that it is delicious. Respond to the question.
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까? (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)

Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까? (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)
(five seconds) 아니요. 별로 안 좋아합니다. (Aniyo. Byeollo an joahamnida.)
Brandon: Now you want to ask someone if they can eat Korean food. Ask the question.
(5 seconds)
Kyejin: 한국음식을 먹을 수 있습니까? (Hangugeumsigeul meogeul su itseumnikka?)
{pause}
Brandon: Now it's time to answer the question with actual information about yourself.

{pause}
