매운 호떡

The Spicy Hotteok

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

Saturday afternoon, the corner shop seen from the street. The seller stands behind the griddle, pressing a hotteok flat with the metal press; steam rises.

The story opens

  1. 저는 보리예요. 301호에 살아요.

    I'm Bori. I live in 301.

  2. 저는 말을 많이 안 해요. 그런데 다 봐요.

    I don't talk much. But I see everything.

  3. 집 앞 모퉁이에 작은 호떡 가게가 있어요. 친절한 아주머니의 가게예요.

    On the corner by our house there's a small hotteok shop. It belongs to a kind lady.

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