Welcome back, everyone. It's Bella here.
다시 오신 걸 환영해요, 여러분. 저는 Bella예요.
And Leo. So good to see you.
그리고 Leo예요. 만나서 정말 반가워요.
Leo, how was your week?
Leo, 이번 주는 어땠어요?
Oh, it was good. But something funny happened.
아, 좋았어요. 근데 웃긴 일이 하나 있었어요.
Really? Tell me.
정말요? 얘기해 봐요.
I made plans with a friend. All in English.
친구랑 약속을 잡았거든요. 전부 영어로요.
She said, "See you at half past three."
친구가 "See you at half past three"라고 했어요.
Okay. And then what?
그래서요? 그다음엔요?
Honestly, I had no idea what time that was.
솔직히, 그게 몇 시인지 전혀 몰랐어요.
Half past three. That just means three thirty.
half past three. 그냥 3시 30분이란 뜻이에요.
I know that NOW. But in the moment, I froze.
지금은 알죠. 근데 그 순간엔 얼어붙었어요.
You know, a lot of people freeze with time.
사실, 시간 표현에서 얼어붙는 사람 많아요.
Right? It sounds so simple.
그렇죠? 되게 간단해 보이는데.
It is simple. There's a pattern. Let me show you.
간단해요. 패턴이 있거든요. 보여줄게요.
So how do I even ask the time?
그럼 시간을 어떻게 물어봐요?
Good question. The first phrase is really easy.
좋은 질문이에요. 첫 번째 표현은 정말 쉬워요.
What time is it?
What time is it?
What time is it. That's the whole thing?
What time is it. 이게 다예요?
That's the whole thing. Short and simple.
이게 다예요. 짧고 간단하죠.
Okay. What time is it?
좋아요. What time is it?
Perfect. Now let's answer it.
완벽해요. 이제 대답을 해봐요.
For the answer, we start with "It's."
대답은 "It's"로 시작해요.
It's... like "It is"?
It's... "It is"처럼요?
Exactly. It's two o'clock. It's five o'clock.
맞아요. It's two o'clock. It's five o'clock.
Oh, that's easy. It's three o'clock.
아, 쉽네요. It's three o'clock.
Yes! Now, what about three thirty?
네! 그럼 3시 30분은요?
Hmm. That's the tricky one for me.
음. 그게 저한텐 어려운 부분이에요.
For thirty minutes, we say "half past."
30분은 "half past"라고 해요.
It's half past three.
It's half past three.
It's half past three. So half past means thirty?
It's half past three. 그럼 half past가 30분이란 거예요?
Right. Half of the hour. Thirty minutes.
맞아요. 한 시간의 반. 30분이요.
It's half past two. It's half past six.
It's half past two. It's half past six.
You've got it. See? It's a pattern.
바로 그거예요. 봐요? 패턴이죠.
Okay, quick test. What time is it right now?
좋아요, 간단한 테스트. 지금 몇 시예요?
It's half past ten.
It's half past ten.
It's half past ten. I actually love this.
It's half past ten. 이거 진짜 마음에 들어요.
And here's a small tip about words like "at."
그리고 "at" 같은 단어에 대한 작은 팁이 있어요.
We use "at" for a time. At two. At half past three.
시간 앞에는 "at"을 써요. At two. At half past three.
At. Okay. See you at half past three.
at. 좋아요. See you at half past three.
Beautiful. That's your friend's sentence.
훌륭해요. 그게 친구가 한 말이잖아요.
Now, let's talk about days.
이제 요일 얘기를 해봐요.
Days? Like Monday and Tuesday?
요일요? Monday, Tuesday 같은 거요?
Yes. And for days, we use "on."
네. 요일 앞에는 "on"을 써요.
On. Not "at"?
on. "at"이 아니고요?
Right. On Monday. On Friday. We don't say "at Monday."
맞아요. On Monday. On Friday. "at Monday"라고는 안 해요.
On Monday. So... see you on Monday.
On Monday. 그럼... see you on Monday.
There it is. See you on Monday.
바로 그거예요. See you on Monday.
So "at" for time. "On" for days.
그러니까 시간엔 "at", 요일엔 "on".
You just made the pattern yourself.
방금 패턴을 스스로 만들었네요.
Let's try it together. A quick roleplay.
같이 해봐요. 짧은 역할극이에요.
Okay. I'm a little nervous.
좋아요. 조금 긴장되네요.
You'll be fine. I ask, you answer.
괜찮을 거예요. 제가 묻고, 답하면 돼요.

Nice. And when is our next class?
좋아요. 그럼 다음 수업은 언제예요?
It's on Monday. At two o'clock.
It's on Monday. At two o'clock.
Perfect! You used all three.

Wait, I did? Which three?
잠깐, 제가요? 어떤 세 개요?
What time is it. Half past. On Monday.
What time is it. Half past. On Monday.
Oh wow. And it felt natural.
우와. 게다가 자연스럽게 느껴졌어요.
That's the goal.
그게 목표예요.
Okay, let me ask you now. What time is it, Bella?
좋아요, 이제 제가 물어볼게요. Bella, what time is it?
It's half past nine.

So remember Leo's frozen moment?
아까 Leo가 얼어붙었던 순간 기억나요?

네. 이제 패턴이 있으니까요.
What time is it. It's half past. See you on Monday.
What time is it. It's half past. See you on Monday.
