A: How's your Monday going?/ B: I'm in a mondaze./ A: Yeah. Weekends go by so quickly.
B: I need to snap out of this mondaze. A: I know the perfect solution! Caffeine!/ A: I went hiking on Saturday and Sunday!
B: That sounds very tiring. I like my weekends to be peaceful.
A: Oh, come on. Join me next time! I'm a weekend warrior - always looking for adventure!/ B: Sorry. I'll pass.
A: How's your Wednesday going?/ B: Not so great. I'm going through a midweek slump./ A: I'll get you a cup of coffee.
B: Really? You're so sweet./ A: We all need a little extra boost!/ A: It's Friday the 13th tomorrow!
B: Seriously? I'm going to stay home./ A: Do you believe in superstitions?/ B: Yes, of course! You don't?
A: No. Superstitions are all nonsense./ A: Are you wearing jeans to work today?/ B: Yup. It's casual Friday!
A: Oh, right! I almost forgot. I'm so used to business attire./ B: Yeah. Same here!/ A: Have a great day!
A: How was it for you to learn Hangeul? I know it's not easy for some people.
B: Oh, the basic characters were pretty easy for me. I learned it fast during my flight to Korea.
A: Is that right? You know, King Sejong and his team of scholars would've been very happy to hear that.
B: Interesting. So, Hangeul was created by a king? How awesome is that! I wonder what his motivation was.
A: He really wanted to help people learn and write more easily.
A: There are 14 consonants and 10 vowels in the Korean alphabet system.
So, here's what you do; you put a consonant and a vowel together to form a syllable.
B: Okay. That sounds easy. It's like building syllable blocks.
A: Exactly! I like the way you put it.
B: Thanks. It's fascinating to see how languages differ in their word formation.
A: Right. You can easily read words once you know the letters.
A: So, are we going to BIFF this year or not?
B: Are you kidding me? Of course, we are going.
A: Great! I mean if you weren't going, I wasn't going to go, either.
B: What are you talking about? Going to BIFF has always been our dream, remember? I wouldn't miss it for the world.
A: That's the spirit. Guess what, I've already booked us tickets for a couple of movies.
B: That's my girl!
A: I can't believe we're finally here in Busan for BIFF!
B: I know! The excitement is so unreal!
A: And tonight's the big night! I've been counting down the days to see that film!
B: Yeah, same here. The trailer gave me goosebumps. And there's been so much hype about the movie.
It's going to be an epic sci-fi adventure.
A: You're right. I hope the storyline lives up to the hype.
A: Well, that movie was just okay. What'd you think?
B: Yeah, it wasn't all that. Could've been more exciting, not enough action.
A: Exactly! The trailer hyped it up so much and it had such glowing reviews.
B: I know, right? I guess our expectations were too high.
A: Oh, well, at least we got to spend time together at the film festival.
