쉽게 배울수 있는 조선어 In a Shop

2021.02.26

English Shortcut to Korean Learning (쉽게 배울수 있는 조선어) is a self-study textbook published in 2019 by the Korea Publications Export and Import Corporation of Pyongyang (DPRK).

I have taken it on myself to transcribe the example sentences and vocabulary, as current material about the North Korean language is rare and plain text versions of learning materials are even harder to find.

This post is about the seventh chapter, concerning the topic of shopping. For an overview of the book, see the head post

Please note that sentences and words below are as-is, I have tried to make sure that I have not introduced any mistakes and I have retouched some slightly awkward translations found in the book and added additional translations where I thought they would be of use.

Let me know if you have any corrections or suggestions for improvement!
