Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo, I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for some more weather talk? Lucas: Today we're revisiting a weather condition that can be a bit tricky — fog and mist. Luna: We touched on it in episode 153, but I could use a refresher. I remember '안개' means fog, right? Lucas: Exactly. And the phrase '날씨가 안개가 껴요' means 'The weather is foggy.' Let's break it down: 날씨가 — weather, 안개가 — fog, 껴요 — is setting in or forming. Luna: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. So it literally says 'the weather fog is setting in'. Lucas: Yes, but in English we just say 'it's foggy.' Listen again: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. Luna: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. Lucas: Good. Now if the fog is really thick, you can say '안개가 자욱해요' — the fog is dense or thick. Luna: 안개가 자욱해요. That's a mouthful. Can you say it slowly? Lucas: Sure: 안개가 자욱해요. Repeat after me: 안개가 자욱해요. Luna: 안개가 자욱해요. Lucas: Perfect. Now when it's really foggy, you often can't see far. So we say '앞이 잘 안 보여요' — I can't see well ahead. Luna: 앞이 잘 안 보여요. That seems useful for driving or walking. Lucas: Exactly. And of course, you should be careful: '조심하세요' — please be careful. Luna: 조심하세요. I think I've heard that in many situations. Lucas: It's a very common polite request. So let's put it all together in a little scene. Imagine you're out for a walk and it's really foggy. Luna: Okay. I'm walking, and I say: '날씨가 안개가 껴요. 안개가 자욱해요. 앞이 잘 안 보여요.' Then my friend says: '조심하세요!' Lucas: That's perfect, Luna! You've got it. Now let's practice each phrase one more time. Repeat after me: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. Luna: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. Lucas: 안개가 자욱해요. Luna: 안개가 자욱해요. Lucas: 앞이 잘 안 보여요. Luna: 앞이 잘 안 보여요. Lucas: 조심하세요. Luna: 조심하세요. Lucas: Great. Now, you know, if you're finding these lessons helpful and want to support the show, you can always buy us a coffee.

So remember, these phrases are perfect for foggy days. Let's do a quick recap. First phrase: 날씨가 안개가 껴요. Luna: The weather is foggy. Lucas: 안개가 자욱해요. Luna: The fog is thick. Lucas: 앞이 잘 안 보여요.
