라이브 #한지는 꽤 됐다/한지 얼마 안됐다/을 하고 나서야 본격적으로 시작했다

 

제가 운전면허증을 딴지는 사실 좀 오래 됐는데요.

It's actually been quite a while since I got my driver's license.

*It's been (quite) a while/long (time)

 It hasn't been a while/long (time)

본격적으로 운전을 하기 시작한지는 얼마 안됐어요.

But It hasn't been very long since I really started driving.

*본격적으로 really

일을 시작하고 나서야 운전할 일이 좀 생겼거든요.

It was only after I started working that I needed to drive.

*It is(was) only after~

 It is(was) not until~

시간이 좀 걸리긴 했는데, 주차하는게 한번 익숙해지고 나니까 크게 어렵진 않더라구요.

It took some time, but once I got used to parking, it wasn't that hard.

*Once 한번/일단~하고 나니까

<숙제>

독립한지는 오래 됐는데요, 요리를 본격적으로 시작한지는 얼마 안됐어요.

It's(It has) actually been quite a while since I got my own place, but it hasn't been very long since I really started to cook.

제가 먹는거에 돈을 얼마나 쓰고 있는지를 알고 나서야 요리를 해야겠다는 생각이 들었어요.

It was only after I found out how much I was spending on food, that I felt the need to start cooking.

시간이 좀 걸리긴 했는데 장보는 것에 한번 익숙해지고 나니까 크게 어렵지 않더라구요.

It took some time but once I got used to the grocery shopping, it wasn't that hard.
