Hello, Ryan! How are you feeling today?
Hello, Mia! I'm feeling really great today.
Today, we are going to talk about a rainy day picnic.
On rainy days, it's hard to go on an outdoor picnic.
That's right, but even if it rains suddenly, it's okay!
Right! If you change your plans a little, you can have even more fun.
The first key expression we will learn today is, "The weather changed our plans."
That is a very useful expression that we use often!
Try using this expression when you changed your plans because of the weather.
Yes, and shall we study five other expressions together as well?
Sounds good! First is, "It starts to rain."
And second, we also have "The rain doesn't stop."
The third expression is "We move to an indoor spot."
Fourth and fifth are "Everyone said it's okay", and "It's really a relief!"
In today's podcast, we also introduce delicious food that Koreans eat on rainy days.
Wow, I'm already getting hungry! It sounds fun.
Now then, shall we all start excitedly together?
Sounds great, Mia! Let's start right now!
Ryan, what did you do last weekend?
I planned to go on a picnic to Hangang Park with my friends.
Wow, a picnic at Hangang Park, you must have been so excited!
Yes, I made delicious sandwiches and packed lots of fruit.
But when you went to the park, what happened?
Just as we arrived at the park, the sky suddenly turned dark.
Ah, dark clouds gathered, and it looked like it was going to rain!
That's right, so because of the weather, we changed our plans.
You must have been flustered! So where did you go?
We went into a small covered rest area next to the park.
You did really well finding an indoor place with a roof!
Yes, we spread our picnic mat there and ate our sandwiches.
Eating sandwiches while listening to the sound of rain has a really nice atmosphere too.
Right! It wasn't outdoors, but we talked a lot and it was great.
Because of the weather, you changed your plans, but it still became a very special memory.
Yes, all my friends liked it too, so I was happy.
By the way, Ryan! Korean people eat pajeon when it rains, right?
Right! Crisp pajeon and warm sujebi come to mind.
Do you know why people eat pajeon when it rains?
Because the sound of frying pajeon in a pan sounds similar to rain!
That's a really fun reason! Pajeon eaten while listening to raindrops is the best.
Next time it rains, let's go eat pajeon together with Mia!
That's a great idea! I really love pajeon too.
Now let's examine today's expressions one by one in detail.
Yes! The first expression was, "It starts to rain", right?
Right! It's a phrase used when raindrops start falling from the sky one by one.
For example, you say, "Oh, it starts to rain, quickly open your umbrella."
That's a very natural example! Next, the second expression is, "The rain doesn't stop."
It's used when rain keeps falling and doesn't stop for a long time.
You can use it like, "I waited for an hour, but the rain doesn't stop."
Yes, the third expression is, "We move to an indoor spot."
It's spoken when moving from outdoors to an indoor building or café.
Saying "Since it rains a lot, we move to an indoor spot" is just perfect!
The fourth expression is "Everyone said it's okay."
It means everyone agrees when you ask friends to change the location, right?
You say, "When I asked my friends, everyone said it's okay."
The last fifth expression is, "It's really a relief."
It's an expression used when a worrisome problem is solved well and your mind feels at ease.
You can use it like, "It rained, but since we had fun indoors, it's really a relief."
They are all very practical expressions! You summarized them really well.
By the way Mia, on rainy days, what style are you all?
I like putting up a pretty umbrella, going to a window seat café, and drinking coffee, Team Mia!
I think staying at home under a blanket and resting comfortably is the best, Team Ryan!
Team Mia versus Team Ryan! Which team are you all on?
It would be great if you let us know your style in the comments.
By the way, Ryan! Do you know what percentage of people like staying home on rainy days?
Well, maybe around fifty percent?
I heard it's over seventy percent! Indeed on rainy days, home is super popular.
Wow, as high as seventy percent! Staying indoors is indeed the best.
Now, the exciting quiz time is back!
Yes, if Mia explains the situation, I will answer with Korean expressions!
First situation: You are walking in the park and raindrops fall from the sky. What do you say?
It starts to rain! I must quickly take out my umbrella.
Correct! Second situation: You shelter from rain at a teahouse, but it doesn't stop for an hour. What do you say?
The rain doesn't stop! The rain is coming down for a long time.
Well done! Third situation: It's too damp outside, so you intend to enter a warm café inside. What do you say?
We move to an indoor spot! Entering inside feels so warm.
Wonderful! Fourth situation: You ask friends to change the venue, and everyone says it's good. What do you say?
Everyone said it's okay! It's nice that all my friends are so kind.
Perfect! Fifth situation: The rain stopped, and we finished our picnic well. What do you say?
It's really a relief! We played well without worries.
Sixth situation: Because of heavy rain, we go to an indoor free exhibition instead of an outdoor event. What do you say?
The weather changed our plans! Looking around the exhibition sounds really fun too.
Seventh situation: Sitting on an outdoor chair, raindrops get bigger so you move. What do you say?
We move to an indoor spot! It's nice that there are seats to sit in the lobby.
Eighth situation: Changed plans because it rained, but ate delicious cake at a café. What do you say?
The weather changed our plans, but the cake was delicious so it was really great!
Ninth situation: Worried it might rain, but fortunately rain came after finishing the picnic. What do you say?
It's really a relief! I was happy to enjoy the picnic completely.
Last tenth situation: Couldn't do an outdoor picnic due to rain, so grilled and ate pajeon at a friend's house. What do you say?
The weather changed our plans, but pajeon was truly the best!
Wow, Ryan! Today you got all ten quizzes correct! That's really amazing.
Thank you for the compliment, Mia! It was worth studying hard.
Now, wrapping up today's study, we give you the mirror speaking mission!
Today's mirror mission! Look in the mirror, and say today's key sentence out loud three times.
The sentence is none other than, "The weather changed our plans!"
"The weather changed our plans!" Try practicing this sentence three times by yourself.
Looking in the mirror and speaking with confidence is really important.
Even on rainy days, without getting flustered, you will be able to speak naturally in Korean.
