한국어 대화 연습 - 폴 & 선태 - #3

Hello, this is Kim Choi. How was your day? Yes, have a good day! Teacher! I told you before, you came to Korea 15 years ago, right? That's right. How old were you then? I was in Korea for about 10 months, if I remember correctly. 10 months? It was 15 years ago. Because I was there for 10 months from 2004 to 2005. It was summer? I don't remember well for the first time. Maybe in May or June? I came here first in the summer. Summer, then next spring. Ah, yes, I came in the summer. You came in the summer? Maybe in June or July? Because I remember it well. Because a month later, I had a really bad headache. There were so many bad cheerleaders. So it rained so much in August. So when I was out there, I had water on my shoes like this. It was harder than I thought. Because in Canada, there are no such horses. So when it rains sometimes it rains a lot. There's no way he's getting this strong on the street. So it was a fun experience. What's the reason for what happened? When I first came here, I just wanted to go to school for a year. I wanted to rest, for a year. Aren't you here for school? Yeah, I just wanted to rest, for a year. So I came to Korea. Are you coming to Korea? So what do you say to that, in Korean? We've been at university for two years... You want to be a little more open? I've been on a break for two years. I was a college student, but I was only off for two years. Then I came, but on a working holiday visa. The Canadian and South Korean governments like this walking holiday visa... What's that? I agree, I agree. Unknown words. I'm sorry, guys, I don't know how to speak Korean. Both seem to agree, I don't know. Then I came to Korea with this, Then I started working in a pub. So it was really funny. It was a regular bar, just? It was a little party bar I used to go to a lot. And it was fun. Ice is probably gone a lot in Korea these days. But then there were two icebergs. A real beer can. This is made of ice, ice. So I could eat money, in Korea. There were, for example, several I'll eat it like this. I saw it once, back then. You work there? It was the second time. Ice, we just have ice on the table... There's a lot of ice. Then the beer bottle is laid out like this. So if you want a beer, just grab it, I'll eat it myself, then this way. When I finally leave, Mr. President, your teacher comes and says this. Then I'll see you. One, two, three, three times. I could calculate, this pub. So I worked there. So the funny thing is, there were a lot of drunk guys. When I was a kid, when I was twenty years old, I think maybe Canadian people drink well. I thought. I've been to Korea, wow! Back then in the pub, when it started, people were so surprised. Because the bar is for foreigners. Did you speak Korean well then? No, it was terrible. So I came to Korea, and a week later I started working. So I was terrible. I was still learning Korean. Then I didn't know the word. Funny how the staff didn't speak English. So I really felt like a cartoon. Because this is beer, glass, sir. I was doing this like a real movie. A beer. You're curious how you started your work. But because of that, I was practicing Korean all the time. Because people were so curious. So he asked me a lot of questions. You weren't stressed? I was under a lot of stress, but I was fine. Because it was a thing. Then there was the good boss. Because I know, I'm terrible at Korean. I just couldn't start working, so I was fine. So it was a really fun experience. When the fun started, it was really popular. But slowly... You didn't have many guests? Yeah, originally there weren't many guests but slowly more and more guests came. Did it grow? Yes, wow. So there were so many new employees, I hired three. Waitress, three girls saved me like this. So we were working as a team of six. By the way, I was working with two or three people. Now there are six of us and we're all very popular waiters. So I worked there for maybe five months. That's funny. Three-layer like, by the way? Yes, I did. It's hard to live in Korea if you hate three-fold. How much time? Meet up with friends. Because when you meet a 20-year-old, you have little to do but drink. Men are single-bodied and can play. There are people who don't like to sing, and they do drink, just usually almost? Going to a bar, drinking and talking. Then sing again. Sing, yeah. Sing or sing. Two cars, three cars. Or go to a bar. Yeah, usually, maybe some restaurant, bar. But I go to restaurants and drink. Yes, that's right. Then the second bar. Have a drink. But eat a little. Then the third song. The third song. This is so normal. Usually. What do you think is the biggest difference between then and now? The biggest. Seoul or Korea. The only difference is that there are many foreigners who can speak Korean now. Now I'm a little bit... I'm not even aware. Like, you know, there's a normal normal reaction. And it's been so good to me. It's just too old to say hello. Wow, Korean is good. Like, too much. It was uncomfortable. But now, now, you know, it's more convenient. I feel like a Canadian. I can talk more naturally. Then another thing... Once upon a time, 15 years ago, when you went to the restaurant and went to the bathroom, there were a lot of toilets on the floor. The toilet on the floor? Ah, the switch. There were a lot of toilets like this, back in the day. So it was really hard, for me. But these days it's the opposite. Because these days the bathroom, then the bathroom. There's an automatic knife cutter. So it's too good. It's very different. It's hard, this. In fact, still, for example... Go to the bathroom twice, if you have to, twice, number two. I still didn't understand that method. So I never did. Two, if you have to say two, you have to say two. Ah, number two. Number two, like, I've never been in a toilet like this before. Big, big, small things. We say big, small. Big, small. I've never seen such a big one. But I can't show you now. What do I do when I'm down? Because it's hard. Maybe you can teach me. This could be a real story. I grew up there too. Ask him about his pants. The pants are still down here. I'll even take off my pants and walk like this. I had to do this. Right, right, right. So now I remember. These pants are like a Macbook. Just hanging around. Right, right. Then I had no choice. It was a bit of a dirty talk. No, not at all. It's just funny. It's been 15 years since Paul came to Korea. I was curious about that too. It was really fun. Thank you so much. Anyway, I hope you guys had fun. I'll ask you for something fun next time. Yes, I'm all right. Thank you.
