쭉 가면 사거리가 있어요. (jjuk ga-myeon sa-geo-ri-ga i-seo-yo.)
If you go straight, there’s an intersection.

거기 오른쪽에 병원이 있어요. (geo-gi o-reun-jjo-ge byeong-won-i i-seo-yo.)

그 병원 앞에 “고물” 마을로 가는 버스가 있어요. (geu byeong-won a-pe go-mul ma-eul-lo ga-neun beo-seu-ga i-seo-yo.)
In front of the hospital there’s a bus that goes to Gomul Town.

110번 버스예요. (110beon beo-seu-ye-yo.)
It’s the 110 bus.

알겠습니다. 감사합니다. (al-get-seum-ni-da. gam-sa-ham-ni-da.)
I see. Thank you.

생각한 거랑 좀 다른데? (saeng-gak-an geo-rang jom da-reun-de?)
It’s kind of different than I thought.

버스를 잘못 탔나 봐. 어떻게 돌아가지? (beo-seu-reul jal-mot tan-na bwa. eo-tteo-ke do-ra-ga-ji?)
