보리 씨 계세요?

Is Bori There?

13 scenes · about 5 min of listening, line by line, at normal and slow speed.

Weekday afternoon, inside the laundromat, wide shot from the glass front. Bori sits on the plastic chair by the dryers, hood up, hands in his hoodie pocket, half-closed eyes; one dryer turns behind him with green cloth tumbling inside.

The story opens

  1. 저는 보리예요. 301호에 살아요.

    I'm Bori. I live in 301.

  2. 할머니 가게는 작은 빨래방이에요. 저는 여기에서 제 옷을 기다려요. 할머니는 시장에 가셨어요.

    Grandma's shop is a small laundromat. I'm here, waiting for my clothes. Grandma has gone to the market.

  3. 가게 책상 위에 전화가 있어요. 이 집 사람들은 모두 이 전화를 받아요. 저만 안 받아요.

    On the shop counter there's a phone. Everyone in this house answers it. Only I don't.

…and the rest of the story, with audio for every line.
