Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Korean with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing from last episode about convenience store drinks. I can now confidently buy a 콜라. Lucas: That's great! Today, let's go somewhere new — a hair salon. Ever been to a Korean hair salon? Luna: No, but I imagine it's stylish. What phrases do I need? Lucas: First, the most important one: '머리 잘라 주세요' — 'Cut my hair, please.' Listen: 머리 잘라 주세요. Luna: 머리 잘라 주세요. Lucas: Good. '머리' means hair, '잘라' from 'cut', and '주세요' is 'please give me' — so literally 'hair cut please.' Luna: Got it. So if I want it short, I say '짧게 잘라 주세요'? Lucas: Exactly! '짧게 잘라 주세요' — 'Cut it short please.' Try it. Luna: 짧게 잘라 주세요. Lucas: Perfect. Now, don't forget to ask about price. Say '가격이 어떻게 돼요?' — 'How much is it?' Luna: 가격이 어떻게 돼요? Lucas: And after a cut, you might want a blow-dry. Say '드라이 해 주세요' — 'Please blow-dry it.' Luna: 드라이 해 주세요. Lucas: Nice. Also, if you're unsure about a style, you can ask '머리 스타일 추천해 주세요' — 'Please recommend a hairstyle.' Luna: 머리 스타일 추천해 주세요. That's a long one! Lucas: Take it slow. 머리 스타일 추천해 주세요. Luna: 머리 스타일... 추천해 주세요. Lucas: Close enough! Let's practice a mini-dialogue. Imagine you walk in. Luna: Okay. '머리 잘라 주세요.' Lucas: And the stylist asks how you want it. Luna: 짧게 잘라 주세요. Lucas: Then you ask the price. Luna: 가격이 어떻게 돼요? Lucas: And after, you want a blow-dry. Luna: 드라이 해 주세요! Lucas: Perfect! You're ready for a salon visit. Luna: I feel like I could actually do this.
