SCENE 01 / 04
A late arrival. A quiet welcome.
Yuki is late on the first day of the new semester. Hyeju welcomes her into class, and Théo quietly pulls out the last chair. He is her new desk partner.
Yuki · to herself
헉헉… 오늘은 새 학기 첫날이에요. 그런데 지각이에요!
Huff, huff… It's the first day of the new semester. And I'm late!
はあはあ…今日は新学期の初日。なのに遅刻だ！
Yuki · to herself
우리 학교는 너무 커요! 제 교실은 어디예요?
Our school is so big! Where's my classroom?
うちの学校、すごく大きい！私の教室はどこ？
Yuki
아… 안녕하세요. 늦었어요. 죄송합니다!
Um… hi. I'm late. I'm so sorry!
あ…こんにちは。遅れました。すみません！
a… annyeonghaseyo. neujeosseoyo. joesonghamnida!
Hyeju, the teacher
괜찮아요. 유키 씨예요? 우리 반 학생이에요. 어서 와요.
That's okay. Are you Yuki? You're in our class. Come on in.
大丈夫ですよ。ユキさんですか。うちのクラスの学生ですね。どうぞ。
Hyeju, the teacher

There's one seat left. Please sit over there.

Yuki · inner thought
오늘부터 이 사람이 제 짝이에요! 그런데 말이 정말 없어요…
From today, he's my desk partner! But he really doesn't talk much…
今日からこの人が私の隣の席の相棒だ！でも、本当に無口…
oneulbuteo i sarami je jjagieyo! geureonde mari jeongmal eopseoyo…
SCENE 02 / 04
Four students, four different voices
Hyeju takes attendance and asks everyone to introduce themselves. Amina’s greeting fills the room, Lucas keeps it very short, and Théo speaks softly and carefully. Yuki is already enjoying her class.
Hyeju, the teacher
여러분, 안녕하세요. 저는 혜주 선생님이에요.
Hello, everyone. I'm your teacher, Hyeju.
皆さん、こんにちは。私はヘジュ先生です。
Hyeju, the teacher
먼저 출석을 불러요. 제가 이름을 불러요. 그럼 "네!" 대답하세요.
First, I'll take attendance. When I call your name, answer "Here!"
Then stand up one at a time and introduce yourself in Korean.
それから順番に立って、韓国語で自己紹介してください。
Amina · jumping to her feet
네! 안녕하세요! 저는 아미나예요! 케냐 사람이에요! 정말 반가워요!
Here! Hi! I'm Amina! I'm from Kenya! So nice to meet you!
はい！こんにちは！アミナです！ケニア人です！会えてすごくうれしいです！
ne! annyeonghaseyo! jeoneun Amina-yeyo! kenya saramieyo! jeongmal bangawoyo!
Hyeju, the teacher
와, 목소리가 좋아요! 루카스 씨?
Wow, what a great voice! Lucas?
わあ、いい声ですね！ルーカスさん？
Lucas
네. …루카스.
Here. …Lucas.
はい。…ルーカス。
Hyeju, the teacher
…끝이에요?
…That's it?
…それだけですか。
Lucas
네.
Yep.
はい。
Théo · softly and clearly
저는… 프랑스… 사람… 테오입니다.
I am… from… France… My name is Théo.
僕は…フランス…人の…テオです。
jeoneun… peurangseu… saram… Teo-imnida.
Yuki · inner thought
우리 반, 정말 재미있어요!
Our class is so much fun!
うちのクラス、すごく面白い！
SCENE 03 / 04
Three pencils. One very busy eraser.
The first dictation begins. Yuki notices the pencils, pen, and erasers in Théo’s pencil case, then writes and erases until her paper is black. Théo quietly offers an eraser.
Hyeju, the teacher
자, 수업을 시작해요. 교과서 10쪽을 펴세요.
Okay, let's start class. Open your textbooks to page 10.
You'll see the board at the end. Write it in your notebook first.
黒板は最後に見ます。まずノートに書いてください。
Yuki · inner thought
와! 테오 씨 필통에 연필 세 개, 볼펜 한 개, 지우개 두 개… 다 있어요!
Wow! Theo has three pencils, one pen, and two erasers in his pencil case... Everything's there!
わあ！テオさんの筆箱には鉛筆3本、ボールペン1本、消しゴム2個…全部あります！
wa! Teo ssi piltong-e yeonpil se gae, bolpen han gae, jiugae du gae… da isseoyo!
Hyeju, the teacher
"저는 학생이에요."
"I am a student."
「私は学生です。」
Yuki · to herself
쓰고… 지워요. 또 쓰고… 또 지워요! 으악!
Write… erase. Write again… erase again! Argh!
書いて…消す。また書いて…また消す！うわーっ！
Yuki · to herself
공책도, 노트도, 종이도 다 까매요!
My notebook, my notes, my paper… it's all black!
ノートも、メモ帳も、紙も真っ黒！
Théo · quietly offering an eraser
…이거요.
…Here.
…これ、どうぞ。
…igeoyo.
Yuki
고마워요! 그런데 제 글씨가 너무 이상해요!
Thanks! But my handwriting looks so weird!
ありがとう！でも私の字、すごく変！
SCENE 04 / 04
A question that makes things click
Yuki asks about 이에요 and 예요. Hyeju explains with 학생 and 의사, and Yuki finally understands. At the back, Amina catches Lucas nodding off—just before class ends.
Yuki
선생님, 질문 있어요! 하나 여쭙고 싶어요.
Teacher, I have a question! May I ask you something?
先生、質問があります！一つお聞きしたいです。
seonsaengnim, jilmun isseoyo! hana yeojjupgo sipeoyo.
Hyeju, the teacher
네, 물으세요. 어떤 질문이에요?
Yes, go ahead. What's your question?
はい、聞いてください。どんな質問ですか。
Yuki
'이에요'하고 '예요'… 저는 이거 모르고, 저것도 몰라요!
"I-eyo" and "yeyo"… I don't get this one, and I don't get that one either!
「イエヨ」と「エヨ」…これもわからないし、あれもわかりません！
Hyeju, the teacher
괜찮아요. 제가 자세히 설명해요. 잘 보세요.
That's okay. I'll explain it in detail. Watch closely.
大丈夫ですよ。詳しく説明しますね。よく見てください。
Hyeju, the teacher
받침이 있어요? 그럼 '학생이에요'. 받침이 없어요? 그럼 '의사예요'.
Is there a final consonant? Then it's "haksaeng-ieyo." No final consonant? Then it's "uisa-yeyo."
You ask questions and learn. I answer and teach. That's what good education is!
皆さんは質問して学びます。私は答えて教えます。それがいい教育です！
Amina · quietly
루카스 씨! 졸아요?
Lucas! Are you nodding off?
ルーカス！居眠りしてる？
Lucas
…안 잤어요.
…I wasn't sleeping.
…寝てないよ。
Hyeju, the teacher
수업이 끝났어요. 여러분, 다음 시간에 만나요!
That's the end of class. See you next time, everyone!
授業は終わりです。皆さん、また次の時間に会いましょう！
Read the dialogue for the stated quantities; the original artwork is not a counting exercise. The study diagrams below show exact counts.
FROM THE EPISODE SCRIPT · LEARNING REPLAY
Count the people. Count the things.
These three review turns come from the revised episode script. The linked webtoon videos end with a vocabulary card; these sentences are provided here as reading and speaking practice. The replay’s quantities are a separate practice situation, not new facts about the characters’ belongings.
Hyeju, the teacher
우리 반에 학생이 네 명 있어요.
There are four students in our class.
私たちのクラスには学生が四人います。
Yuki
공책은 두 권 있어요. 연필은 세 개 있어요.
I have two notebooks and three pencils.
ノートは二冊あります。鉛筆は三本あります。
Théo
저는 공책 한 권, 연필 네 개예요.
I have one notebook and four pencils.
私はノート一冊、鉛筆四本です。
A first class. New classmates. One question closer to understanding.
FROM THE STORY TO YOUR OWN WORDS
A little counting, a little confidence.
Count classmates, notebooks, and pencils in Korean.
01
Three counts to take into class.
01FROM THE SCRIPT’S LEARNING REPLAY
우리 반에 학생이 네 명 있어요.
There are four students in our class.
명 counts people. 넷 becomes 네 before 명: 학생 네 명. This is a review sentence from the episode script.
개 is a general item counter used for pencils in this episode. 셋 becomes 세. 자루 is also a more specific counter for pencils; today we practise the original wording, 개.
To count people and these classroom objects, use a native Korean number with a counter. The counter tells us what kind of thing we are counting.
THREE COUNTERS FOR TODAY
명
people
학생 네 명
권
books / notebooks
공책 두 권
개
general items
연필 세 개
하나 → 한
둘 → 두
셋 → 세
넷 → 네
Before these counters, change 하나·둘·셋·넷 to 한·두·세·네. Write a space before the counter: 두 권, 세 개. In the story, 자리가 하나 있어요 uses 하나 on its own, without a counter.
Korean also has Sino-Korean numbers: 일·이·삼·사. A page number uses that system: the story’s 10쪽 is read 십 쪽. For today’s 명·권·개 examples, use 한·두·세·네. Learn each number together with its unit; this is not a rule for every Korean counter.
PEOPLE · 명
1
2
3
4
4 students · 네 명
NUMBER + COUNTER
넷 → 네 + 명
FROM THE SCRIPT’S LEARNING REPLAY
우리 반에 학생이 네 명 있어요.
There are four students in our class.
Use 명 for people. 넷 changes to 네 before the counter. The four figures illustrate the script’s review sentence.
The animated symbols are added learning diagrams. The first three sentences come from the script’s review section; the one-notebook sentence is an added variation. The episode uses 개 for pencils. 자루 is also a valid, more specific pencil counter.
