Hello. This is TalkToMeInKorean’s ‘Iyagi’. : Hello. I’m Hyunwoo Sun. : Hello. I’m Kyeongeun Choi. :
,
?
Kyeongeun, hello :
,
?
Yes, hello. :
(
)
(
)
Today once again with Kyeongeun (Yes) we’re recording the ‘Iyagi’ lesson (Yes). I heard today’s subject was immensely interesting. : Yes. Arbeit. :
"
"
렇죠? Arbeit. Hmm... The word Arbeit in fact wasn’t a Korean word, was it?
42/115
:
,
No, it wasn’t. [Yes, right.] :
( (
)
)
( “Arbeit”
“
,
?)
”,
Originally it’s a word from German (Ah…) and from what I know it srcinated from German and then went to Japan (Hmm…), and I heard that it was a word that then came to Korea from Japan. (Ah, is that so?) Yes. The srcinal German word “Arbeit” became “Arbeit” [Korean pronunciation]; I think it was like this… :
,
Ah, I see. :
"
"
?
Yes. Then what is the reason for still using the word, “Arbeit”? :
?
?
Well… Maybe because in Korea it hasn’t been long since Arbeit has been around? :
"
"
(
,
)
(
?
Ah… the concept of Arbeit. (Yes) Hmm… that’s probable. (Yes) That’s probable and there’s no other word, is there? : That’s right. :
,
,
"
"
,
43/115
)
Well, ‘part-time’; there’s the English word ‘part-time’. Well, let’s see. I don’t think there particularly is any. :
"
"
,(
)
"
"
?
Yes. Just "Arbeit" (Yes) or nowadays we shorten it to alba. : (
" , ,(
"
,
,"
", "
) )
"
", "
"
(
? )
"
That’s right. We say alba, well, “Albamon”, “Alba something something”, there are sites like that, too. (Yes, websites.) Websites [came up], so now alba (Alba) is commonly used (Yes) and there are times when the long version "Arbeit" is used. :
,
Yes, that’s right. :
(
)
?
Kyeongeun (Yes), have you done a lot of Arbeit? :
,
Yes, I’ve done a lot. :
?
Hang on [wait a moment]. But in general, who does Arbeit ?
: Hmm... Usually students do a lot [of Arbeit]. :
,(
)
?
Students usually do a lot of Arbeit (Yes), and nowadays people other than students also do Arbeit, don’t they?
44/115
: Hmm... That’s right. :
, (
) ,
(
,(
)
(
)
) (
)
,
요. Before it was just high school students, university students (Yes), just those (Yes), but these days [there are people who] work (Yes) and then rest for a while (Yes) or [people who] don’t want to work all day (That’s so) or want to do other studies, well, [people who] want to prepare for other things and do Arbeit for just a short while. :
,
Yes. And these days getting a job is difficult. :
,
,
Hmm, because finding a job is rather difficult,, :
(
)
Yes. Difficult. (Yes) So before they get a job, there are many people who do Arbeit while preparing for a job. :
,
(
)
( ) Yes, that’s right. And before doing something else which they really want to do (Yes), they have to earn money (Right), so. There are many people who do Arbeit only until then.
45/115
: Yes. :
, ?
?
But Kyeongeun, you said you did a lot of Arbeit, what do people ordinarily do as Arbeit? And what kind of Arbeit have you done, Kyeongeun? :
(
)
?
Hmm... Ordinarily students give a lot of private lessons [tutoring]. (Yes) In our country. :
?
A lot of university students? :
,(
)
Yes. University students give a lot of private lessons, (Yes) and to be honest I haven’t done any in high school. :
?
Ah... Arbeit? :
( ,(
)
)
Yes. Didn’t do Arbeit so I don’t know much about high school. (I see) In university I did various Arbeit (Yes) and many were interesting. :
?
?
Ah.. Is that so? What kind of interesting Arbeit?
46/115
: Uh... The most interesting was the traffic volume census Arbeit. :

In the old days, 10 years ago. (Yes, yes) : 10 10 years ago. :

Ah, [my] age is revealed. : No. : 10
(

10 years ago (Yes), census was done on how many buses and how many cars pass on a certain [this] road. :
?
Ah... Traffic volume?
: Yes. Traffic volume census. :
(
)
(

(

?
Arbeit doing a census (Yes) on the volume of traffic (Yes). How long did you do it?
47/115
: I did it for a short while. A short while. :
?
A short while? :
"
"
Yes. Just because a friend said that there was an Arbeit like this. It sounded interesting so I tried it out. :
,
Ah, for the experience. :
(
)
,
Yes. I tried it for the experience. (Yes) The best was, uh, exam supervisor. :
?
Exam supervisor? : Yes. :
,
?
And, and. And what else?
: ? 요.
(
)
(
)
And? I’ve been exam supervisor. (Yes) And at a wedding (Yes) I was the bride’s aid.
48/115
:
,
?
Ah, really? : That was quite fun. :
,
Behind the bride. :
( (
)
)“
”
?
Yes. There’s a bride’s aid who is behind the bride, holding on to the wedding dress (Yes) and telling her “Do so and so”. (I see) Are they called doumi? [“helper”] : I think they’re called doumi these days. :
(
)
(
Yes. I’ve been a doumi, too. (Ah… wow) I did a load of things. (I see) And I also sold accessories. :
,
?(
)
?
Ah, really? (Yes) Where?
:
(
) ?
That wasn’t in Korea but when I went to Australia (Yes) I sold Korean accessories. I did Arbeit like that, too. A whole lot of different stuff, right?

)
:
(
)
Wow... Compared to me (Yes) you really did a lot. :
,
(
)
Yes, interesting stuff. (Yes) I did a lot. :
(
)
I’ve never did Arbeit like that (I see); I did very simple things. :
?
Private lessons? : Yes. I only did private lessons. I gave private lessons since high school, you see. :
?
Really? :
3
,
Yes. I gave private lessons since the 3rd year of high school but if there are people who don’t quite know what ‘gwaweh’ [private lessons] are: private lessons are individual classes. : Yes. One on one. :“

,
“ “
,
” ”
, "
", (
50/115
)
(
)
,
, “Gwa” means the subject of school classes, and next, “weh” means outside; so it’s “gwaweh” because it’s getting extra classes outside of school. Gwaweh activities, going to learn taekwondo or going to learn piano, these are called gwaweh activities. Now, at school you have to take classes (Yes) and then you go home and get private lessons again. (Right) So that’s called gwaweh class, gwaweh class, gwaweh. So when we say gwaweh it just means individual classes. :
( (
)
)
"
"(
) ?
Yes. But learning taekwondo (Yes) or learning piano, activities like that aren’t usually called gwaweh (Hmm…) but just called ‘going to hagwon’ (Yes). And doing gwaweh as Arbeit means you teach one on one, right? :
,
,
,
,
(
)
?
Right. One on one: English, math, or national language. (Yes) National language is Korean, right? : Korean. :
,(
)
,
And science, (Yes) [you] teach stuff like this but I mainly taught English. :

?
When you were in the 3rd year of high school?
51/115
:
3
Yes. I taught middle school students when I was in the 3rd year of high school, and when I went to university I gave private lessons to high school students and university students, and I also taught math. :
,
?(
)
Ah, is that so? (Yes) Oh... interesting. :
(
)
So I think I mainly taught a lot as Arbeit. (Hmm…) I still teach now, though. :
3
(
?(
)
)
?
, (
3
)
But usually 3rd year high school students never give private lessons, do they? (That’s right) 3rd year high school students usually receive private lessons. (But I) You’re showing off [acting like you’re good/smart/better than everyone else] right now, aren’t you? That you’re smart. (Yes) :
,
( 3
(
)
)
No, I’m just saying that it was fun. (Ah… I see) Like you did a lot of special Arbeit, I especially (Yes) gave private lessons when I was in the 3rd year of high school. :
( ,
(
,
)
3
?
)
Koreans (Yes) usually receive private lessons in the 3rd year of high school,don’t they? They usually don’t do private lessons Arbeit. (Right, right)

(

) (
)
? I started in December when the university entrance exams were all over. (Ah…) Before graduating. (Yes, I see) So I started during vacation and gave private lessons when I came to Seoul, but my giving private lessons isn’t that special, because a lot of other people do it, too. (Yes) However, when you give private lessons, you have to meet the pupil [tutee] in order to give private lessons, right? : Yes. :"
?"
Where do you meet pupils? It’s always a worry [People always worry about that]. : Yes. : That was really quite special for me. :
?
How? : ?(

Once I was at the beauty salon cutting my hair. But the hairdresser [hair
53/115
stylist] who was cutting my hair? (Yes) The hairdresser lady’s son; I got to give private lessons. :
….
Uh…. :
(
CD,
(
)
)
, And another time, a friend was doing Arbeit at a record specialty shop [music store]. (Uh…) Music CDs, tapes, they were selling those. (I see) I went there a couple of times and I [wound up] giving private lessons to the owner’s son and daughter. :
,
?
Uh, really? :
(
)
, Yes. And I was just playing around with a friend and it came about that my friend went overseas to study. (I see) So I again taught my friend’s student; I gave a lot of private lessons in that way. : You’re showing off.
: ? ? ? ? What? Why? Why? Why is that? :
?
Seems like you’re showing off?
54/115
: Special private lessons. : Ah... I see. : Special ways to meet private lesson students. So that was fun. : Interesting. :
,
Yes, interesting. And… :
?
?
Did their grades improve? The students? : (
,
(
)
)
,
,
? Of course, of course. Of course. (I see) So generally [people] do a lot of private lessons Arbeit (Yes) and special Arbeit like you Kyeongeun, but what do they do in general besides private lessons or very special Arbeit? : Hmm… :
?
Waiting on tables? [“serving” is the Koreanized English expression]
55/115
: Yes. A lot of waiting on tables. :
,
A lot of waiting on tables, and… Well, not waiting on tables but office [work]. :
,
Yes, Arbeit at the office, too. : Usually that is called office assistant [assistance]; you do paperwork at the office. :
,
Yes, right. :
,
A research institute, or university. : Yes. I’ve done that before, office assistant. :
(
)
, ?
? Honestly there are a lot of Arbeit at universities. (Hmm, right) Me, at my university, when I was in school an interesting Arbeit was the library. You know when you go to borrow a book at the library? : Yes.
56/115
: But there are people who don’t go to borrow books but just to study. : Right. A lot. :
,
“ (
)
”, ,
“
”
, (
)
Yes, that is, they are called “reading rooms” and you need a student ID to go to the reading room. (Yes) You enter by “beep”ing the student ID, student card on that door; to prevent other school students who didn’t bring that or people who aren’t students from entering (Yes), in front [you] place a desk and sit :
?
Really? :
, (
(
)
…)
and just keep watch. You keep watch but you don’t have to only keep watch. You can study for yourself. So you do your own studies and whether people beep the card or not (Yes), you keep watch. (Ah…) There’s an Arbeit like that. :
,
?
(
) ,
, ?
Oh, really? First time I’ve heard of that. (Yes) Because at reading rooms
57/115
you can usually borrow books, aren’t you able to lend books and also keep watch at the same time like that? :
,
(
(
)
) 5,500
Yes, there are also people like that. (Keeping watch only) In the case of my school, the place to borrow books (Ah..) and the place to study was separate; there are cases like that so that’s why [you] watch. Just sit and watch and [they] give you 5,500 won per hour. :
?
Wow. Sounds good! : So you take classes and when you don’t have classes, you go sit. :
"
"
?
Wow. It’s God’s Arbeit! :"
"
?
God’s Arbeit? :
"
"
My friends and I used to call these easy Arbeit, God’s Arbeit.
:
?"
"
,
You can say that, can’t you? You can call it God’s Arbeit, so the competition is fierce.
58/115
:
,
Uh, that seems likely. :
,
Because you want to do it, and above all, the competition is fierce and vacancies [places] don’t come up easily. So. Anyhow there are those kind of Arbeit. : I see. : (

listener ?
Today we talked about Arbeit with Kyeongeun (Yes). I’m curious to know what sort of Arbeit our listeners, everyone (Yes) have done and are doing. : Yes. And if [you know of] an interesting Arbeit, please leave a comment. :
,
Oh... If there is an Arbeit more interesting than the Arbeit Kyeongeun has done. : Please tell us. :

Yes. Be sure to tell us. And... so, any more things [you’re] curious about?

Hello, Hyunwoohyeong. :

Yes, nice to see you. What are we going to talk about today? : Something you’re good at. :

Ah~ something I’m good at? : Yes.

Ah~ cooking, driving? :

What are you talking about - you don’t even have a car! :
,
?
Hmm, then what is it that I’m good at? : Hyeong, you’re always exercising.[ Korean. :
means both exercise and sports in
is exercising/ working out.]
,
,
,
? Ah, exercising [sports]. But I really do like exercise and do a lot, but doing something well and doing something a lot, how are they different? :
,
?
,
? Doing something well and doing something a lot? There definitely is a bit of difference but you can’t do a lot without liking it, can you? :
?
?
Right? And if you do it a lot, do you become good at it? :
?
If you do it a lot, wouldn’t there be more possibility of you getting good at it?
62/115
:
,
, ,
,
,
,
,
Yes, I think so. I really like sports and do a variety of sports, hmm, [but] skiing, swimming, baseball, basketball I don’t think I ordinarily do these kind of sports. :
,
,
No, I don’t think I’ve really seen you do any kind of sports.[
can mean
‘yes’ or ‘no’ depending on the context.] :
?
Seokjin, you like sports. :
,
,
,
What Hyunwoo hyeong didn’t do a lot of: skiing, football [soccer], basketball, swimming I like [them] so much. :
, ,
I don’t dislike them, it’s not dislike; it’s just that I’ve never been skiing or snowboarding, I like them. :
,
?
Ah, really? :
,
I think I’ll have fun if I go, but I’ve never had the chance to go yet. : Now I’m really proud there are sports which I do better than you,hyeong.
63/115
:
?
By the way, Seokjin, I know you occasionally go play football on the weekends. : Yes. These days I go play football every Sunday. :
?
When you go play football, how many hours do you usually play? :
?
Almost 2 hours? 2 hours playing football. :
,
,
, ,
, I used to play football in middle school, high school, and then when in the army. Now I don’t know with whom to play, and there aren’t many places near my house to play, and to be frank, I don’t want to play much, either. So I don’t. : If you don’t want to, it’s better not to. :
,
? ?
,
It is fun when I do, but it seems like it takes a bit of time to get started, doesn’t it? So I don’t do sports but exercises [you can do] alone? Even though it seems like you don’t have any friends when you exercise alone, and I don’t know why, but I find exercising alone is more fun than doing sports together with friends.
64/115
:
,
But there is a sport [exercise] that hyeong and I both dislike;an exercise we dislike in common. :
?
An exercise we dislike in common: running? :
,
That’s right. Running. I really hate it. :
10km ,
Before, when I was bored and just curious what it would feel like, I participated in a 10 km marathon once; run, I actually did, but it really wasn’t fun. : [It’s] really hard. :
,
“runner’s
high” Because there aren’t any Korean expressions for it, [I’m] borrowing an English expression, you know this thing called “runner’s high”.
: “runner’s high”. “Runner’s high”: as you run, you feel great. :
“runner’s high”
,
“runner’s high” ,
,
65/115
? Because there isn’t a word for it in Korean, it’s just called “runner’s high”, but since I haven’t felt it a lot, I still find going to the gym [Koreanized English expression is “health club”] and exercising [working out], or practicing dance moves alone or exercising on the bars or horizontal bars, I think that’s much more fun than “runner’s high”. It doesn’t take much time, either. 2 hours when [you go] play football? : 2 hours. :
,
,
, 요? It takes 2 hours; [if I had] 2 hours I think I’d rest after exercising for a short while, or would want to do something else, personally. Seokjin, so do you do other exercises regularly besides sports? :
I usually do some gymnastics. Stretching, to be precise. These days I feel like my body is too stiff in the mornings so I go to the roof of my house every morning and do some stretching, and then wash and prepare for breakfast. :
,
, ,
, 사람은 운동을 정말 안 좋아해서 한국어로는 그런 표현 있잖아요. “운동하고 담을 ”
66/115
Sports/exercise, whether it’s football, swimming, or doing chin-ups, or just walking, I think they’re all good. Shouldn’t overdo it, and I think all sports/exercise is good, but us, besides Seokjin and I, there are Kyeongeun and Hyeonjeong on our team. Those two really don’t like exercise, so there’s this expression in Korean: “Build a wall against exercise.” Build a wall so exercise can’t come over it. :
~
63
Ah~ That wall is as tall as the 63 building. :
,
?
,
,
Ah, it’s really tall, isn’t it? Yes, since we’re working with two ladies who have built a wall against exercise; of course, there’s no need to exercise in the office but it’s still a pity, a bit. : It’s a pity. :
,
Yes. If [you] exercise, [you] become healthier, prettier, and it’s more fun. :
“
~
”
However,they’re always thinking about it: “Ah, should exercise, should exercise”. [They] think about it but never do. :
“
”
,
But I think there are really many people who think “should exercise, should exercise” besides Kyeongeun and Hyeonjeong. But, in fact, they don’t exercise.
67/115
: Once you actually start, it isn’t difficult, though. :
,
That’s right. Just a little bit at a time seems good, so even though I’m always busy, before I go home, there are bars near my place; I exercise and then go [home]. :
,
Yes, that’s great. :
,
12
? 11
?
어요. Yes, thank you. When I go it’s 12:00 at night? 11:30? Even [when I] go around then, there are people playing basketball. : Real manly. [man’s man, guy’s guy] :
,
Yes, manly people… ah, there were girls [women], too. :
,
?
Uh, really? :
, ,
,
요. There really are a lot of people at the basketball court near my place at
68/115
night. No light is turned on but there are a lot of people. I think it’s very fun, and I wish more people would exercise more. : Right. :
?
Everyone, do you like exercise/sports? :
?
You do [like sports], right? :
,

If you do [like sports], tell us what kind of sports you like; if you don’t like sports, tell us if there is a specific sport you don’t like and why you don’t like it. (Like running.) Yes, like running. Tell us why you don’t like it. : Yes. We look forward to it. :

Table tennis?[ping-pong] :

You like table tennis? Are you good at table tennis? : I was in the table tennis club in high school. :

Wow, really? (Yes) It doesn’t suit you very much. :
(

, But when I was at school (Yes) I liked moving around. So I joined sportsrelated clubs, but I didn’t join sports teams that participated in matches [games, competition]. :
,

Then what other clubs did you join besides table tennis? :
?
Badminton. :
?
아요.
72/115
Badminton? Well, really, many people played badminton when we went to school. : Yes. :
, ?
So I thought badminton was a tremendously easy sport, but I heard that if you learn [it] properly, it’s tremendously difficult? : Yes. Your arms hurt. :
?
?
Your arms hurt? Then you never played in a match? : Because sports clubs that participate in matches are tough. :
?
But don’t you play matches in badminton or table tennis? : If the sports club is small, you don’t do matches.
: ? Is that so? : Yes.
73/115
:
?
Then you don’t even do things with [other] badminton clubs? :
,
No, [we] just played indoors. Because it’s[the club is] small, the seniors aren’t scary and there’s no one to teach you. It was just playing amongst ourselves. :
?
In fact, high school sports clubs are famous for having scary seniors, aren’t they? :
?
Yes, like the basketball team? :
,
Yes, basketball team, baseball team… : I didn’t go in that direction. :
?
So when did you start not liking sports? :
,
No, I still like badminton and table tennis. :
?
Is that so?
74/115
:
,
But I don’t like doing it exhaustingly. I like it when you’re doing it while playing; I don’t like having to do it for over an hour while sweating profusely. : I can understand. Running. : Yes. I liked running only until elementary school. : I have never once liked running. : Hmm. : [The thing] I hate the most in the world is running. : But you run well in [formal] shoes. :
,
, ""
“ ”
없어요. When late, and although I do run when I have to run, you know, stuff like that: “You must run as exercise [sport]." "I run for my health.” I can never understand things like this.
75/115
: I tried doing it. :
?
Is that so? : I did, but I quit because my knees hurt. : 고요. I see. But everyone, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that all Korean women hate sports [exercise]. : Of course not. :
,
There are a great number of people who like [sports], it’s Hyeonjeong and I who rather hate [sports]. :
?
리기하고… I like fun sports. There aren’t many sports that we can do now, are there? Running and…
:
,

Cycling, I like cycling. Sports that I like are cycling, and inline skating. :

You know how [to ride]?

: I’m good. I’m good at cycling and inline. : I want to learn inline. :

? Really? Shall we go inline [skating] next time on a weekend? (Shall we?) If you go to the Han River to inline skate, there’s a station called Yeouinaru. In Seoul. If you go to Yeouinaru station they lend you inline skates so shall we really go and skate? :
(

And I also want to do that. (What) [Ice] skate. :

요. Ah, skate. I skate a bit, too. You see, I don’t hate sports. : So I see. : Yes. The kind of sports where you ride. : Yes.
77/115
:

Like inline skating or cycling or what else would there be? Snowboarding, stuff like this I like. But running or working out at the gym [“health” = Koreanized English], stuff like this I really hate. :
?
Similar to me? : And I like swimming. : Swimming, I only know how to float. :
,
?
,
Ah, is that so? But, Hyeonjeong, you’re from Jeju-do. : Yes. :
,
?
You were born in Jeju-do and lived in Jeju-do for a long time, but you can’t swim? :
,
,
But you see, people think it’s strange; but not a lot of people from Jejudo are good at swimming. :
?
Is that so?
78/115
:
,
Because there’s no need to go to the swimming pool. :
,
Hmm, you can swim at the beach. :
,
,
I mean, you can swim at the beach, but at the beach instead of swimming way out there, you play in the water. There’s not that much need to swim. :
,
…
I see. But for some reason, you think that if you live near the beach you’d be good at swimming… : My mom’s good. :
?
Is she? : So she occasionally catches octopus.
: ? Octopus? :

는데.
79/115
Yes, if you go to the sea there are octopus and things like that. I can dig up sea urchins on the beach. :
?
Sea urchins? :

Yes. So, on the beach there are things like sea urchins and clams. Stuff like that I can pick up. Octopus, you have to go into the sea so I can’t. But my mom does. : [She’s] cool. : Of course. :

?
? Back again to our subject, shall we talk about sports again? Hyeonjeong, so you’re not doing any kind of sport at all now? : That is so. Very troubling.

Didn’t we say we were going to swim [regularly]?

Shall we, really? :

Fine. But to be honest, I betrayed you and started exercising [doing sports]. :

When? : Since this morning. :

Where? : There’s a hill at the back of my house. :

Yes. The one that takes 2 hours? : But when I went it was an immensely low hill [mountain]. Not 2 hours; woke up early in the morning and went up the mountain briefly with my mom and came down it took exactly 1 hour.

So what about me? :

Don’t you get scolded? For walking slow? :

But, you know, (Yes) Hyunwoo and Seokjin say they exercise every day, do you think they’re really doing 300 chin-ups?

Yes. We plan to diligently swim from now. After 3 months, we’ll record the broadcast of how hard we [did]. You’ll tune in [listen] once again, won’t you?

Anyway, in fact [you know how] Korea’s summers (Yes) are immensely hot (Yes) and humid? :
,
(
…)
The heat is okay, but when it’s humid [it’s] sticky (Ah…) so it’s quite intolerable [tough, sufferable, hard]. :
,
(
…
(
)
, Yes, right. When it’s humid your body gets sticky and usually you get into a rather bad mood. (Yes) When it’s humid… But in fact, in Seoul (Yes), if you just enter a building the air conditioning is on, so I honestly can’t feel the humidity, me. :
,(
)
But the problem is, (Yes) I really hate air conditioning. :
?
Because it’s too cold? : Yes. :
(
)
춥고. It’s like that. When [you] go outside it’s too hot (Yes), and when you go inside a building it’s too cold again because of the air conditioning.

)
: So you catch cold. : (
, …)
(
)
Right. Catch cold. So me, in fact, I always wear long sleeves even in the summer. (Ah…) When I take the subway it’s so cold (Yes) I’m lost about what to do. Feels like my arms will really freeze. : Yes. :
?
?
Isn’t it? It’s that cold? :
,
Yes. The subway, banks. :
,
Ah, banks. :
!
And our office!
: The office honestly isn’t cold. :
(
…)
88/115
Yes [it is]. Seokjin is so sensitive to the heat (Ah…) he always has the fan on and also has the air conditioning on. :
,
?
?
Ah, really.Does the fan’s breeze reach all the way to your seat? : Yes. :
,
Ah, I see. I think the office is rather hot. :
?
Really? : Yes. :
(
)
(
…)
Wow. So (Yes) Kyeongeun, if you buy that small fan (Ah…) it’ll get really very cold. : Then again, I think it’ll be cold. : You’re stuck[there’s just no way, it can’t be helped], Kyeongeun. :
,
(
…)
Yes. I’m rather quite sensitive to the cold, very sensitive to the heat (Hmm…) so I don’t like summer that much nor winter that much, either
89/115
:
,
I like spring, autumn the best, too. :
,
Right. Spring, autumn, [I like] the best. : Just great days to go out and play. :
?
Right? : And yet another way to make summer cold. :
…
?
Hmm… what? :
?
Scary stories? :
,
( (
)
) ?(
)
Ah, I really hate [that]. So when it becomes summer (Yes) and people tell a lot of scary stories (Yes) and on television they show a lot of scary movies, right? (Right) But honestly, I hate scary stories or scary movies so so much that really in the summer I don’t like having the television on.
90/115
:
,
Ah, you said it appears in your dreams. :
,
…(
)
…
Yes, I’m the kind that gets severe nightmares… (I see) Hmm… I really hate it. : (
, )
,( ?(
)
…)
I’m not scared about that stuff, but when friends occasionally ask me to tell them scary stories (Yes) again and again; I don’t know any (I see) so in the end I wind up telling them something that happened to someone I know. (Ah...) Then the friends who hear that story never ask me twice again to tell them a scary story. :
,
?
(
)
, (
…)
?
Ah, really? Then Hyeonjeong, the next time you talk with Hyunwoo or Seokjin (Yes) like this not me do a special scary story edition. If you tell scary stories (Hmm…) I think our listeners would be able to welcome a cool summer. :
?
Even though the scary stories I tell are all actual anecdotes [happenings]? :
…
?
Hmm… Even so, isn’t it good if they’re scary?
91/115
:
?
What happens if there’s someone like you, Kyeongeun? :
…
(
?
(
…)
….)
Ah… For those kinds of people, we should write a warning in advance. (Ah…) But I think it’ll be okay. Scary stories special edition. (Hmm…) :
?
What do we call that in Korean? : “Namnyang Teukjip”. : Yes. :
"
"
있어요. That’s called “Namnyang Teukjip”. But in fact, there’s another way to cool down [get cold] in the summer. :
?
What? : Eat refreshing [cool] food. :
,
!
Ah, patbingsu!
92/115
:
,
,
Patbingsu, naengmyeon, kongguksu. :
!
Sikhye! : Sikhye is also good. There are lots of foods in Korea that you can eat to cool down [refreshingly cold]. : Yes. :
( ,
(
…)
)
To be frank, I don’t think I feel cooled down even when I eat ice cream. (Hmm…) Rather naengmyeon or well, patbingsu or things like that (Yes), I think they’re better to eat. :
,
Ah, I want to eat naengmyeon, too. :
?
Then shall we have naengmyeonfor lunch today? :
?
Shall we? :
,
,
, ,
Yes, fine. Everyone, if you have your own method to pass a special and cool summer, please let us know. So, thank you everyone for listening.

So, it’s a new voice [you’re] hearing, isn’t it? I am now with Jiwon, Jiwon Jang. So, Jiwon, please give a go at greeting our TalkToMeInKorean family and introduce [yourself]. :
, TalkToMeInKorean

년이에요. Hello, everyone from TalkToMeInKorean. My name is Jiwon Jang and I’m a 2nd year [sophomore] university student. :
,
, ?
?
Yes, university student. Really young. Honestly just to see your face; you’re really like a child. So, is that around a 7 year difference with me? How old are you? :
91
,
Now, I was born in early 91; 20 years old.
95/115

:
?(
)
,
,
가죠. 20 years old? (Yes) Yes, it’s not that important, what the age difference is, so let’s just pass. : Okay. :
?
What were we going to talk about in this ‘Iyagi’? : First impressions. :
,
(
)
‘ , (
)
’
, ?
Yes, first impressions. The impression you get [feel] when you first see someone. (Yes) My first impression of Jiwon was [she’s] really nice. When I first saw you I thought, “Ah, what a really nice and young girl.” (I see) But since I’ve been with you for a while I got to know that you were someone with a tough side. Jiwon, what was your first impression of me? : Seokjin, your first impression was a bit scary. :
?
What do you mean, I was scary?
96/115
: When you have a stern expression, [you’re] a bit scary. And sometimes when taking photos, when I saw the way you posed I thought you were a bit ‘neukkihada’[smarmy,buttery slick and smooth]. :
,(
)
?
Neukkihada, (Yes) neukkihada. Do girls like neukkihada? : When a handsome man is, they do [like it]. :
,
,
,
,
Uh, when they’re handsome and neukkihada; it’s probably like looking at people like Jang Donggun, Won Bin and thinking they’re handsome and neukkihada. : Yes. :
?
Then what about me? :
?
Seokjin, what do you think? [I think you’d know very well?] :
, ,
Yes. I’m neukkihada like Jang Donggun or Won Bin, but I’m not handsome like them. Jiwon, so your first impression of me was scary or and looks a bit neukkihada, that was it.
97/115
:
,
?
Well, that would be it? :
,
But in real life, I’m not that scary. : I see. After a week [together] I got to know that you were a rather funny person. :
,
[You know] how funny I am and how nice I am to girls? : I wouldn’t know about you being nice to girls. :
,
Ah, you should stick around some more. I think a week is too short. : I don’t think my thoughts will change even if I stay [with you] more, but I’ll give it a shot. :
,
?
So does that mean my first impression was good or bad? :
?
Well, if you have to break it down like that, it’d be correct to say it was bad?
98/115
:
… ,
(
)
,
?
Hmm… But first impressions aren’t that important. Even when I make friends, a lot of friends whose first impressions were bad generally turn out to have great personalities. In those cases, the person, you become closer to that person. (Yes) Right, Jiwon, you’ve also [experienced] that before. :
,
Yes, I’ve also [experienced] that before. :
,
Times when you get to know people who are different from their first impressions and then get closer to them. :
,
Yes, a lot of times like that. :
( ,
(
)
)
요? So I don’t think first impressions are that important. (Hmm) What’s important is the person’s heart and personality. (Yes) Jiwon, have you ever paid great attention to [your] first impression? :
,
Yes, I have. :
?
When was it?
99/115
: I think I paid a lot of attention to [my] first impression when I came for the job interview. :
,
?
(
)
?
Ah, when [you] had the job interview? First impressions are very important when you come for a job interview. (Yes) What did you do? :
,
,
First, to look prettier I wear [contact] lenses, wear makeup, or pay attention to my attire. : And you would’ve talked very prettily like now. :
,
Yes, I think so. : Jiwon , you don’t usually talk like this. :
(
)
?
No. Then Seokjin (Yes), was there a time when you paid a lot of attention to [your] first impression? :
, …
I also paid a lot of attention to [my] first impression when I went for a company job interview, but more than that, when I went on a blind date…
100/115
:
?
When on a blind date? :
, TalkToMeInKorean
,
해요. Yes, TalkToMeInKorean’s listeners probably aren’t well aware of it, but I talk with a strong dialect [accent]. :
,
Yes, you do, in a way. :
,
, “
,
” ,
Yes, I have a very strong Gyeongsang-do accent, and I used to deliberately try not to use it and copied the standard dialect. So when I talked, “Hello, I’m Seokjin Jin.” I used to copy the standard dialect to the extent of it sounding just awkward. :
?
Were the results good? :
?
The results are quite obvious if you notice that I’m single now. :
,
I think I can tell. Cheer up, Seokjin. : 16

? Thank you. This ‘Iyagi’, Jiwon and I talked about first impressions. They say that the time it takes for first impressions to be determined are different by country. Japan, it takes around a little more than 16 seconds; the USA is more, takes around 20 seconds, 30 seconds; our country [Korea] takes a very short time to determine those first impressions. 4 seconds, 6 seconds? It means that when you first see someone, the time it takes to determine about the person, ‘Ah, I like [him/her]” or ‘Ah, that person is really so-so’ is very short. (I see) So, Jiwon, do you take a short time to determine first impressions like that? :
,
Yes, I think [I take] a rather short time. :
?
About how many seconds does it take? :
5
I think it’ll take about 5 seconds. :5
(
)
5
겠네요? 5 seconds. (Yes) So in order to give you a good first impression, [one/we] must [act] very well for 5 seconds. :
,
Well, something like that.
102/115
:
,5
,
Yes, for 5 seconds, well, buy you delicious things, :5
?
For 5 seconds? :
,
,
…
Buy you ice cream, now talk in a good [manner], well, give you a shoulder massage or something… : That’ll be good. :
,5 ,
,
?
Yes, I think I could do that for 5 seconds. Everyone, I’m really curious to know what you have done to leave a good first impression. You too, Jiwon? :
,
Yes, I’m curious. :
,
,
TalkToMeInKorean If there is a way to leave a good first impression, or a good method, please leave a comment on TalkToMeInKorean. :
,
Yes, good bye. :
,
Yes. Everyone, good bye.
