Kristen: Oh my gosh, such a dream. So handsome. Oh boy. All right. Welcome everyone to the show. And our topic today is first visit to the dentist in years. So, it’s not your first visit, but it just means that you haven’t been to the dentist in a very long time.
Cameron: Yeah, many years, several years.
Kristen: And what is the subtitle?
Cameron: My gums are prone to bleed.
Kristen: Oh, my gosh.
Cameron: Ugh.
Kristen: But there are people who have gum problems.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: How are your gums? We don’t like to talk about gums.
Cameron: No complain. It’s really like teeth is fine.
Kristen: Yeah, but not gums. Now, first of all, this is like 잇몸, okay? And so there, you know, people do surprisingly have gum disease quite a bit. And I hear it’s really bad, you know, for your brain too. Because all the bacteria goes into your brain. It’s like can cause Alzheimer’s.
Cameron: I like want to like floss my teeth now. Just this talk. My teeth are starting to itch. Oh my gosh. Okay.
Kristen:
So we’re talking about our gums today. We’ve got our expressions. And in the subtitle, it says, my gums are prone to. So a be prone to, P-R-O-N-E. What does this mean?
Cameron: This means something is likely to happen or happens pretty often, happens easily.
Kristen: Look after something or someone.
Cameron: This means that you are looking, you’re watching someone or something specifically with their health in mind or their condition. Maybe you’re taking care of them. Right. Mm-hmm.
Kristen: And believe it or not,
Cameron: Believe it or not, means like this might be shocking, but it’s true. It’s true.
Kristen: True. Okay. So everyone, yeah, we don’t like to talk about gums, but this is real. There are people who are prone to bleeding. So let’s listen to our dialogue.
Power Dialog
Dr. Nick: Before we talk about any treatments, we’re going to clean your teeth thoroughly.
Angela: I think this is going to hurt because my gums are prone to bleeding.
Dr. Nick: Well, that’s what flossing is for. You really need to look after your gums, too.
Angela: I usually floss when I have something stuck between my teeth.
Dr. Nick: Believe it or not, gum disease is linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Angela: Oh no! I’m definitely going to start flossing every day now.
Kristen: Dr. Nick begins the dialogue by saying, before we talk about any treatments, we’re going to clean your teeth thoroughly.
Cameron: Yeah. Okay.
Kristen: So they’re going to have a cleaning.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: In Korea, we call it scaling.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: Thoroughly. What does this mean?
Cameron: This means that you’re going to do it completely, through and through. There is an interesting pronunciation thing. Could you say this word again? You say thoroughly (쏘럴리). Yeah, thoroughly. I say thoroughly(써럴리). Thoroughly. Thoroughly. Sorry.
Kristen: Thoroughly (쏘럴리) That sounds very Southern to me.
Cameron: Yes, it does.
Cameron: Thoroughly (쏘럴리) and thoroughly (써럴리).
Kristen: Yeah, that’s definitely Southern. In L.A., we say thoroughly (쏘럴리).
Cameron: It makes me think of Thor, you know, the god of thunder. Thor. Thoroughly, yeah. No, but this word means to do something completely. So you’re not just going to kind of me, me, me, half do the cleaning. Yeah. You’re going to do it perfectly. Completely.
Kristen: Very completely and very in detail, I feel, with this word, thoroughly.
Kristen: So cleaning your teeth thoroughly. And Angela says, I think this is going to hurt because my gums are prone to bleeding. You know, it’s true. People who have weak gums have a hard time with teeth cleaning.
Cameron: Yeah. I mean, I think every time I get my teeth cleaned, it bleeds. Yeah. But I kind of like the feeling.
Kristen: Because they’re getting in there.
Cameron: Getting it there. It’s like my teeth itch and they’re just taking a piece of metal and they’re scratching. It just feels really good because you can’t scratch it yourself..
Kristen: True, true. Right. Right. So if you’re like, now, if your gums are prone to something, what does this mean?
Cameron: It means it’s likely to happen or happens often. So being prone to bleeding means my gums bleed often from that hook. That hook, that metal hook going on your teeth.
Kristen: That’s true.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: What else can you be prone to?
Cameron: You can be prone to lying. Oh, boy. Like if your personality is someone who, if you’re in a difficult situation, you do it often, lying to get out of your difficult situation. You can be prone to… What else can you be prone to?
Kristen: I think that this expression is oftentimes used medically, like health-wise. Like I’m prone to like canker sores (구내염), for example. Like if I get really tired, you know, I’m prone to migraines (편두통).
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: You know, these sort of things. So it’s easy for you. Well, I was for a while, I was prone to kidney stones, but now it’s been very quiet.
Cameron: Do you have kidneys?
Kristen: I have kidneys. I have kidneys.
Cameron: Do you have both kidneys?
Kristen: I have both kidneys, but the stones, I’m not having any problems with, you know, pain.
Cameron: So you like changed your diet, right?
Kristen: Sure did, that’s right. Okay, what does Dr. Nick say?
Cameron: Well, that’s what flossing is for. You really need to look after your gums too.
Kristen: Our power pattern today is that’s what something is for. Uh-huh.
Cameron: So you’re giving the reason that you’re doing something, the tool that you’re using. That’s what hmm is for. Oh, you have a problem?
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: Here’s the solution. That’s what hmm is for.
Kristen: Okay, let’s sing. That’s what friends are for.
Cameron: Oh, we’re at the different part. All right. But that song, that’s what friends are for. It’s like, oh, you have something hard going on. Oh, you need help with something.
Kristen: Well, that’s what friends are for.
Cameron: That’s what friends are for. That’s the solution. Yeah.
Kristen: And that’s what flossing is for. So flossing, you really need to look after your gums.
Cameron: Flossing helps with, if you have weak gums, flossing will help with that.
Kristen: 치실. Definitely. I think flossing for people with strong, I mean, if you want to keep your gums healthy, you should floss. Do you floss?
Cameron: I floss like twice a day.
Kristen: Oh!
Cameron: I love it.
Kristen: That’s good.
Cameron: You know when you got like a piece of meat in between your teeth?
Kristen: Oh my God.
Cameron: And you put your, or like you’re eating nuts. You eat nuts and then they get in your teeth and then you take the floss and you, and you get, oh, it’s so good.
Kristen: Seriously. I carry my floss in my little pocket everywhere I go.
Cameron: Look at you.
Kristen: Look at me. Okay, so if you look after your gums or look after anything, what are you doing?
Cameron: You’re taking care of. So you’re when you are looking after your gums, you’re you’re actually analyzing them. Are they healthy? Are they not? Do I need to do something? What do my gums need to be healthy?
Kristen: Okay, so that’s why it’s a little different from taking care of your gums. Like, they kind of mean similar things. But to look after is kind of like be on the watch out.
Cameron: Yeah, kind of like monitoring.
Kristen: Monitoring. Yes, that’s right. Okay. To look after your gums. And what does Angela say?
Cameron: I usually floss when I have something stuck between my teeth.
Kristen: Yes, definitely. But you should floss even if you don’t have something stuck on your teeth because you got to get in there. Yeah. And dr. Nick says, believe it or not, gum disease is linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Cameron: Yeah believe it or not so this is surprising but it’s true. It is, believe it or not.
Kristen: Yeah, right. It is?
Cameron: It is. It is. You don’t have to believe it, but it’s true.
Kristen: Yeah. Well, because, you know, it’s Alzheimer’s, I know, because, you know, like your oral health is very important because it’s right linked to your brain. So it’s very important.
Cameron: I mean, yeah, if we think about our food being important for our health, everything that goes through our mouth is going to affect our food. So, if you have bad bacteria and bad things in your mouth,
Kristen: Mm-hmm.
Cameron: It’s gonna go to the other parts of your body.
Kristen: Oh my gosh. Yeah. So what does Angela say?
Cameron: Oh no, I’m definitely going to start flossing every day now.
Kristen: Okay. Yeah. All right. So everybody, flossing is the way to go. Okay. Okay. Let’s go ahead and listen to that dialogue one more time.

Power Note
1. prone to something: 자주 — 하는, 의 경향이 있는, 자주
Kristen: It’s time for Power Note. We’re on pages 64 and 65. If you are prone to something, it means you’re likely to experience something.
1)
A: I heard your brother is sick again. What’s wrong with him?
B: He’s prone to stomach problems. I think he eats too much junk food.
Kristen: You know how some people say, oh, 위가 안좋아요.
Cameron: Ah, yeah.
Kristen: You know, it’s like I have a bad stomach. I, you know, I don’t know if you would say it like that, but you could say like I’m prone to stomach issues or problems.
Cameron: Yeah. This used to be me. Honestly, in America, I thought I had a weak stomach. Because in America, I always had problems. Me, my mom, and my sister. So I thought it was just like DNA. But I came to Korea. And it went away.
Kristen: It’s the food. It’s the food.
Cameron: It’s the food.
Kristen: It’s the food!
Cameron: So maybe if you go to America, you may be prone to stomach problems. It’s true. Not because of your own body, but because of the quality of food.
Kristen: It’s the quality of food and what you eat I mean I mean listen mmm Korean people eat their vegetables.
Cameron: Yeah.
Kristen: And they have a lot of fermented food, which is very good for your stomach, right?
Cameron: But I also think because there’s more dairy in America, if I only eat dairy, that’s whenever it’s a problem. So, ice cream after a meal is fine. But ice cream alone is going to kill me.
Kristen: That’s why desserts should always be eaten after a meal. It helps.
Cameron: A little bit, yeah. A little bit, yeah.
2) I’m prone to stiff joints when it’s very humid.
Cameron: That’s interesting.
Kristen: You know, it’s always people who have back problems or like arthritis joint problems, like when it’s humid or about to rain, it hurts more.
Cameron: Really?
Kristen: That’s what I that’s what my mom said that’s what you know a lot of people I hear say that, like oh and then it starts raining and then they say, oh that’s why I was like hurting more.
Cameron: Oh, yeah. I had all this pain, and it was a shower, a light June shower that was coming. The humidity. The humidity, yes.
2. look after -: –을 돌보다.
Kristen: Prone to. Okay, look after something or someone means to kind of make sure.
Cameron: Everything’s okay.
Kristen: Yeah.
Cameron: Monitoring them and fixing any problem that may arise.
1)
A: Could you look after my things while I use the restroom?
B: No problem. I’ll be here for at least 15 more minutes.
Kristen: Okay. All right.
2) Look after my bags. I need someone to look after my baby during my doctor’s appointments.
Cameron: So this isn’t a thing. This is a child. Yeah. So this is kind of like babysitting, essentially.
Kristen: Well, could you look after Simba or could you look after my plants while I go on vacation? Yeah. So it’s taking care and then plus making sure that everything is okay.
Cameron: Sometimes it’s not actively doing something. Where take care definitely sounds like you’re having to do something. Look after means I’m going to watch it and if something needs to be done, then I’ll do something.
Kristen: Yes, that’s right. Right. Right. So there is that difference. You have to keep that in mind.
Cameron: Right. So for the first example we had, look after my things, just watch it. Just watch it. If someone tries to steal it.
Kristen: Grab it.
Cameron: Hit him.
Kristen: Hit him. Hit him. Yeah.
Cameron: But take care of my things is literally like, hey, can you grab my things and take it over here? Do the thing that needs to be done to them.
Kristen: So remember, look after something and taking care of something are quite different.
Cameron: If you look after children, that could just mean babysit. Make sure they don’t hurt themselves. That’s right. If you take care of a child, I feel maybe they’re sick. And you need to, like, get them food and medicine. Right. And bathe them.
Kristen: right.
Cameron: Take care of feels much more active
Kristen: More active, right and looking after something is just to kind of watch and see that everything is okay all right
3. believe it or not: 믿기지 않겠지만, 믿기 힘들겠지만
Cameron: This is surprising. You might not believe it, but it’s true.
Kristen:
1)
A: This house is beautiful. It must have cost a fortune.
B: Believe it or not, we bought it at an auction for half its value.
Kristen: Auction, 경매.
Cameron: I mean, yeah, in America this is very common, go to like a house auction.
Kristen: Yeah, and in Korea too.
Cameron: Do they exist here?
Kristen: Yes, Cameron.

Cameron: We should…
Kristen: And so I’m like, oh, this is another way to buy a house.

Kristen: There are auction places for apartments and real estate. Oh, yeah. But you’ve got to have your cash on hand.
Cameron: Well, I can go to the ATM. My 한도 is very, I can increase my 한도
Kristen: Oh my God.
Kristen: Oh, look at you. Look at you.
2) Believe it or not, my great-grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla.
Cameron: Oh, Nikola Tesla is a very famous scientist, inventor. So it’s kind of a surprising historical fact.
Kristen: So he’s this famous scientist, and so you’re saying my great-grandfather worked with him? It’s like, I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Believe it or not. I was thinking about this song, Believe it or not, I’m flying on air. There used to be a sitcom in America, and that was like their title song. Okay. And they would sing, they would start the song, like, believe it or not.
Cameron: is this, huh?
Kristen: It was with Tom Hanks.
Cameron: Tom Hanks in a sitcom?
Kristen: It was bosom buddies.
Cameron: I have heard of bosom buddies, but I have not. It’s…

1) That’s what a credit card is for. Use your credit card.
Kristen: It’s a credit card.
Cameron: Your credit card okay
2) That’s what a best friend is for.
You don’t have money to move that’s when you call your best friend. That’s what a best friend is for free labor.
