Level 2 · Unit 7

Hello, may I speak to Ms Kim?

Hoya calls the office

Hoya calls the Sejong Institute office. He answers the phone in 반말 by accident.

This unit is part of the Level 2 Pass — opening soon.

Until then, you can find your level with the level test, or start at the beginning of Level 1.

  • V-아/어 주다Doing something for someone

Sori’s tips in this unit

  • Five ways to say 'will' — and which one to use
  • 주다 in the past, in questions, and where it does not belong
  • Spelling and sound: ㄹ게요 is [ㄹ께요]
  • The phone toolkit: message, callback, voicemail
