Dialogue about having to study for a test (Rev 2) I put this dialogue together from other dialogues I found on the Internet and with some help from Italki friends like C.J, Bunch and cropsy. This version incorporates corrections and suggestions that they made to my first try. As always, I want to make sure that the politeness level is consistent (informal 반말 between classmates rather than 존댓말 ) I would also like to say something like "I need to study harder because I did poorly on the last test." Of course, any other suggestions for improvement will be welcomed and appreciated. 찬호: 같이 영화를 봅시다. Chan Ho: Let's go see a movie together. 조세프: 안 돼요, 오늘 집에 가야 돼요. Joseph: No, I can’t.

Dialogue about having to study for a test (Rev 2)

I put this dialogue together from other dialogues I found on the Internet and with some help from Italki friends like C.J, Bunch and cropsy. This version incorporates corrections and suggestions that they made to my first try.

As always, I want to make sure that the politeness level is consistent (informal 반말 between classmates rather than 존댓말 )

I would also like to say something like "I need to study harder because I did poorly on the last test."

Of course, any other suggestions for improvement will be welcomed and appreciated.

찬호: 같이 영화 보자.
Chan Ho: Let's go see a movie together.

조세프: 안 돼. 오늘 집에 가야 돼.
Joseph: No, I can’t. I have to go home today.

조세프: 숙제가 너무 많아.
Joseph: I have a lot of homework.

조세프: 나는 수학을 공부하고 싶어.
Joseph: I want to study math

조세프: 내일 시험 때문에 너무 긴장돼.
Joseph: I am very nervous about tomorrow’s test.

조세프:공부 좀 더 열심히 해야해.
Joseph: I need to study harder.

조세프: 오늘 숙제 도와줄거니?
Joseph: Would you like to help my homework today?

찬호: 그럼, 함께 공부하자.
Chan Ho: Ok, then let’s study together

Yeap, as Heesob so aptly wrote in his corrections, most of the Korean sentences above are written in 존댓말, albeit the one you pointed out is more formal than the rest :) The ones I would consider to be 반말 would be the one about maths (or math), the one about needing to study harder, and the one talking about studying together.

I'm not sure but "오늘 숙제 도움을 하시겠습니까?" is not 존댓말 ? I think in 반말 form is "오늘 숙제 도움을 하시겠어요?" but I'm not sure.
