우리 가족을 소개해요Meet My Family

Hi, everyone. Take a breath. I'm Bella.

안녕하세요, 여러분. 잠깐 숨 한 번 쉬고요. 저는 Bella예요.

And I'm Leo. Let's learn together.

저는 Leo입니다. 오늘도 같이 배워봐요.

Leo, I have a small problem. And it starts in ten minutes.

Leo, 나 지금 작은 문제가 하나 있어요. 십 분 뒤에 시작돼요.

Ten minutes? Okay, tell me fast.

십 분이요? 그럼 빨리 말해봐요.

I'm at my mother's house today. Eight people are at the table.

오늘 엄마 집에 와 있는데, 식탁에 여덟 명이 앉아 있어요.

Eight? That's a big table. Who is there?

여덟이요? 식탁 크겠는데요. 누구누구 있어요?

I have two brothers. And my mom, my aunt, and three cousins.

남동생이 둘 있고요. 엄마, 이모, 그리고 사촌 셋이요.

That's a full house. So what's the problem?

집이 꽉 찼네요. 그런데 뭐가 문제예요?

One more person is coming. My friend from work.

한 명이 더 와요. 회사 친구요.

He's from Canada, and he knows nobody in that room.

캐나다 사람인데, 그 방에 아는 사람이 하나도 없어요.

Ah. So you open the door, and then what?

아, 그럼 문을 열어주고 나서는요?

Then I walk him around the table. In English.

그다음엔 식탁을 한 바퀴 돌면서 소개해야죠. 영어로요.

Go around the table. That means you start at one person, then the next.

go around the table. 한 사람에서 시작해서 옆으로 쭉 간다는 말이에요.

Yes. One by one. And my head is empty.

네, 한 명씩요. 그런데 머리가 하얘져요.

I have the name cards in my hand. I can smell the soup.

손에는 이름표가 들려 있고, 국 냄새는 나고요.

Your head is not empty. You know these words already.

머리가 하얘진 게 아니에요. 이미 아는 표현들이에요.

Do I? Honestly, I always say the wrong thing.

그럴까요? 솔직히 저는 늘 이상하게 말하거든요.

What do you say?

어떻게 말하는데요?

I say, "Let me introduce my family members. My family are four."

"Let me introduce my family members. My family are four." 이렇게요.

Ah. I hear that a lot. But we don't really say it that way.

아, 그거 정말 많이 들어요. 그런데 그렇게는 잘 안 써요.

So what do people say?

그럼 보통 뭐라고 해요?

It's much shorter. You point, and you say, "This is my mom."

훨씬 짧아요. 그냥 가리키면서 "This is my mom." 하면 돼요.

That's it? Three words and a name?

그게 다예요? 세 단어랑 이름만요?

That's it. This is my mom. This is my brother.

그게 다예요. This is my mom. This is my brother.

Wait. You're teaching me today.

어? 오늘은 Leo가 저를 가르치네요.

I know. It feels a little strange for me too.

그러게요. 저도 좀 낯설어요.

Why do you know this so well?

이건 어떻게 이렇게 잘 알아요?

Because my family is small. I'm an only child.

우리 집은 식구가 적거든요. 저는 외동이에요.

An only child. So no brothers and no sisters.

an only child. 형제자매가 없다는 거죠.

None. Just me, my mom, and the cat.

하나도 없어요. 저랑 엄마, 그리고 고양이뿐이에요.

Does the cat get a name card?

고양이도 이름표 받아요?

Of course. He is family too.

당연하죠. 고양이도 가족인데요.

So my tour is very short. This is my mom. She is a nurse.

그래서 제 소개는 아주 짧아요. This is my mom. She is a nurse.

Two sentences. And you're done.

두 문장이면 끝나네요.

But I have eight people. My tour is long.

그런데 저는 여덟 명이잖아요. 소개가 길어요.

Is it long? Or is it the same two sentences, eight times?

길까요? 같은 두 문장을 여덟 번 하는 것뿐인데요.

Oh. Say that again, please.

어. 그 말 다시 해줄래요?

The same two sentences. Eight times. Only the name changes.

같은 두 문장. 여덟 번. 이름만 바뀌어요.

Okay. Let me try. This is my mom. She is a teacher.

좋아요, 해볼게요. This is my mom. She is a teacher.

Perfect. Now your brother.

좋아요. 이제 남동생요.

This is my brother. He is a cook. His name is Dan.

This is my brother. He is a cook. His name is Dan.

Nice. My mom, my brother, his name. Those small words do a lot.

좋네요. my mom, my brother, his name. 이 작은 단어들이 일을 다 해요.

And "she is" for my mom. "He is" for my brother.

엄마한테는 she is, 남동생한테는 he is네요.

Right. In Korean that word doesn't change. So it's easy to mix up.

맞아요. 한국어는 그 단어가 안 바뀌니까 헷갈리기 쉬워요.

I mix it up every time. She is my sister. He is my father.

저 매번 헷갈려요. She is my sister. He is my father.

That was clean. Say it slowly and it stays right.

지금 깔끔했어요. 천천히 말하면 안 틀려요.

And listen to this. We say "she's" very fast.

그리고 이거 잘 들어보세요. she's는 아주 빠르게 지나가요.

This is my mom. She's a nurse.

This is my mom. She's a nurse.

She's. It sounds like one short word.

she's. 짧은 한 단어처럼 들려요.

So my ear hears one word, not two.

제 귀에는 두 단어가 아니라 한 단어로 들려요.

Yes. That's the real sound. Now you know it.

맞아요. 그게 실제 소리예요. 이제 알았으니 들릴 거예요.

Now the numbers. There are a lot of cousins at that table.

이제 숫자요. 그 식탁에 사촌이 많거든요.

Then keep it simple. I have two cousins here.

그럼 간단하게 가요. I have two cousins here.

I have two brothers. Is that enough?

I have two brothers. 이거면 충분해요?

That's enough. I have two brothers, and their names are Sam and Dan.

충분해요. I have two brothers, and their names are Sam and Dan.

Oh, that feels light. I have two, and then the names.

오, 그러니까 가벼워지네요. I have two 하고 이름만 붙이면 되고요.

So my door plan is three small things.

그러니까 문 앞에서 할 건 세 가지네요.

Tell me the three.

세 가지가 뭔데요?

This is my mom. She is a nurse. I have two brothers.

This is my mom. She is a nurse. I have two brothers.

That's the whole tour. Big family, small family, same words.

그게 소개 전부예요. 대가족이든 소가족이든 쓰는 말은 같아요.

The doorbell is ringing. I have to go.

초인종 울려요. 저 가야 해요.

Go. Open the door and start with the first person.

가요. 문 열고 첫 번째 사람부터 시작하면 돼요.

This is my mom. She is a teacher.

This is my mom. She is a teacher.

Perfect. And your friend will remember two things about each person.

좋아요. 그리고 친구는 사람마다 두 가지만 기억할 거예요.

The name, and one small thing. That's kind.

이름 하나, 그리고 작은 것 하나요. 그게 고맙네요.

Eight people isn't harder. It's eight times easy.

여덟 명이 더 어려운 게 아니에요. 쉬운 게 여덟 번인 거죠.

Thank you, Leo. Today you were the teacher.

고마워요, Leo. 오늘은 Leo가 선생님이었어요.

Good work today, everyone.

오늘도 수고했어요, 여러분.

See you next time on Bileo English.

다음 시간에 Bileo English에서 만나요.

Bye-bye.

안녕히 계세요.
