[FOREIGN] Hello, everyone. When is your birthday? What time is it at this very moment you are studying Korean? In this module you will learn the time and date so that you will be able to answer when asked what day it is and what time it is. Also, you will learn a new set of vocabulary about time. Through this lesson you will be able to tell the time and the date in Korean. When is your birthday? In this unit, you will learn a vocabulary to ask when someone's birthday is or when a specific event takes place. So you will be able to tell the time and the date and also learn how to read Korean numbers. But first, let's listen to the conversation between these two. Listen carefully. >> [FOREIGN] >> [FOREIGN] >> Shall we take a look at the conversation? [FOREIGN] Asks when is your birthday? [FOREIGN] is a response, it's July 16th. Listen to it again and repeat. [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] Good. Let's examine the pronunciation. As you can guess, [FOREIGN] is pronounced [FOREIGN] the consonant [FOREIGN] together with the next vowel [FOREIGN] is pronounced [FOREIGN]. Finally, we pronounce it [FOREIGN]. One moment, you need to notice the pronunciation of [FOREIGN] it's a little bit hard to understand the way it is pronounced. But the final consonant Q, together with the next vowel U in the second syllable is changed to mium and pronounced sium. And then you put nium in the next syllable, so finally pronounced siumu, repeat. [FOREIGN] Okay, try say the next one. [FOREIGN] Excellent. At this time we will take a look at vocabulary that represents special events. [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN] is Christmas so we Koreans write it [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN] Student's don't like [FOREIGN] do they? [FOREIGN] However, you like [FOREIGN] don't you? I do. [FOREIGN] means when, because there isn't a final consonant in [FOREIGN] you take [FOREIGN] sentence ending. So, if you wanna ask what the specific date is, you can say, [FOREIGN]. Now, if you wanna ask when Christmas is, what would you say it in Korean? [FOREIGN] Christmas [FOREIGN]. Do you all know why there is [FOREIGN] after Christmas? It's a Christmas [FOREIGN] because there isn't a final consonant in of Christmas but we use E in [FOREIGN]. As a subject particle because there is a final consonant in [FOREIGN] of [FOREIGN]. How about doing some practice? Look at the following pictures and ask the question using [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] Excellent. Then how would you respond to the question [FOREIGN]. Are you aware that months have their distinctive names in the English. January, February, March and so on. Unlike in English if you wanna ask the month in Korean you add [FOREIGN], which means month to the Arabic number. But, how would you read the number of the months in Korean? You read them using Chinese characters. We started how to read numbers in Korean in the last module. [FOREIGN] but in Korean, there is also a different way of reading numbers using Chinese characters. One is [FOREIGN], two is [FOREIGN], three is [FOREIGN], four is [FOREIGN]. 5 is [FOREIGN] 6 is [FOREIGN] 7 is [FOREIGN] 8 is [FOREIGN] 9 is [FOREIGN] 10 is [FOREIGN]. Let's repeat again 1 to 10. [FOREIGN] then what about 11? You add 1 to 10 and say [FOREIGN]. And you add two to 10 to get [FOREIGN]. Then how about 20? This is the similar case in that you add ten to two to say [FOREIGN] for 20, [FOREIGN] for 30 and [FOREIGN] for 40, what about 100? The word for 100 is [FOREIGN] 200 [FOREIGN] 300 [FOREIGN] like that and 1,000 [FOREIGN]. What would you say this year, 2015 in Korean. Let's read it together. [FOREIGN], correct. Now that you are familiar with numbers, how would you say January? You add [FOREIGN], the word for month, to the number one. [FOREIGN]. So January becomes [FOREIGN]. For February you also add [FOREIGN] to the number two and get [FOREIGN]. March is [FOREIGN]. April is [FOREIGN]. May is [FOREIGN]. How would you say June? If you add [FOREIGN] to [FOREIGN], the number 6, it becomes [FOREIGN], but we don't pronounce it [FOREIGN]. Just you pronounce it [FOREIGN]. This is also the case for October. It's not [FOREIGN] but it's [FOREIGN] It is much easier to pronounce [FOREIGN] and [FOREIGN]. With these exceptions of June and October, the rules apply to all the other months. July is [FOREIGN]. August is [FOREIGN] September is [FOREIGN], November is [FOREIGN], and December is [FOREIGN]. Shall we try to say them in order? [FOREIGN] Good work. Then how about saying the date? As opposed to English, using ordinary numbers, Korean language uses Arabic numbers and you simply add the word [FOREIGN], which represents the date, to the Arabic number first of the month is [FOREIGN]. Second is [FOREIGN]. Third is [FOREIGN]. Fourth is [FOREIGN]. Fifth is [FOREIGN]. Sixth is [FOREIGN]. Seventh is [FOREIGN]. Eigth is [FOREIGN] ninth is [FOREIGN] tenth is [FOREIGN] tenth is [FOREIGN] 11th is [FOREIGN] and 12th is [FOREIGN] In the same way. 20s is [FOREIGN] and the 30s is [FOREIGN]. Then how to say February third? Right, you say [FOREIGN]. What about, August the 16th? It's [FOREIGN]. What about June 26th? June is pronounced [FOREIGN]. So you say [FOREIGN] actually. Do you remember there is a pronunciation of 16th in the dialogue in the beginning of this unit? Yes, 26th is pronounced [FOREIGN]. Repeat [FOREIGN]. Since October is pronounced [FOREIGN] when you say October 21st, you say [FOREIGN]. Please remember you're and [FOREIGN] are differently pronounced and like the other names of the month. Let's practice it together. First, say the following dates out loud. January sixth. [FOREIGN] May 11th. [FOREIGN] June 28th, [FOREIGN]. October 16th, [FOREIGN]. Pay attention to the pronunciation. [FOREIGN] December 31st [FOREIGN] second, look at the pictures and say the dates. [FOREIGN] March 8th. [FOREIGN] October 26th. [FOREIGN] August 11th. [FOREIGN] December 25th. [FOREIGN] Excellent work. Now try practicing it on your own. Let's have a look at some more vocab. Lunar New Year's Day, [FOREIGN] and pay attention to the pronunciation of [FOREIGN]. We do not pronounce [FOREIGN], but [FOREIGN] instead. Because of the final consonant year in the first syllable is [FOREIGN]. The consonant mean in the second syllable tends to be pronounced in the same sound, year. So you pronounce it's [FOREIGN]. This is the way we pronounce it. Repeat it. [FOREIGN]. [FOREIGN] is Korean Thanksgiving which falls on the 15th of August in Lunar calendar. [FOREIGN]. Okay, I wanna wrap this up briefly. When you say the months in Korean, you use the Chinese numbers, right. And pay attention to the pronunciations of June and October. [FOREIGN] and [FOREIGN]. About the dates, please remember the pronunciations of 16th and 26th. [FOREIGN] and [FOREIGN]. Well, now do you think you will be able to respond in Korean when a Korean asks you your birthday? Let's stop here. [FOREIGN]
