Hey guys! It’s Alli, again. Hope you guys didn’t miss me too much.

We’re going to take things a step further and learn some complex letters. These are things you’ll just have to memorize but once you learn some vocabulary and get the hang of it, you won’t forget it.

Let’s get started!

C o m p l e x   V o w e l s*

ㅐ = ae (a combination of ㅏ and ㅣ)**

ㅔ = e  (a combination of ㅓ and ㅣ)

ㅒ=yae (a combination of ㅑ and ㅣ)***

ㅖ= ye (a combination of ㅕandㅣ)

ㅢ  = wi ****

ㅚ  = wi

ㅘ = wa

ㅟ  = wi

ㅝ  = wo

ㅙ  = wae

ㅞ  = we (uncommon)

* Some of these letters are uncommon. You will almost never hear 웨, 븨, 즤, 듸, 긔, 싀, 늬 in the Korean language.

** ㅐ andㅔ both have little to no difference in pronunciation! Both sound like ‘eh’

*** ㅒandㅖboth have little to no difference in pronunciation! Both sound like ‘ye’

**** The pronunciation of ㅢ differs depending on where and how it is used.  의자 (chair) is pronounced as 의자.  나의 (my) is pronounced as 나에.

                                       ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

K o r e a n   D o u b l e   C o n s o n a n t s

The Korean double consonants are listed below:

ㄸ =  just like ㄷ but more tensed in the beginning*

ㄲ = just like ㄱ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅃ = just like ㅂ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅆ = just like ㅅ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅉ = just like ㅈ but more tensed in the beginning

*’tensed’ means that you have to put more force into saying it. Imagine you were to say “duck!” rather loudly. The hard ‘d’ sound in “duck!” is like the sound made by the Korean ㄸ.

Hey guys! Welcome to my very first post! I’m Alli and I hope I can assist you while you start learning Korean!

First off, let’s learn the basics: Hangul - The Korean Alphabet

The Korean alphabet is one of the most crucial steps toward your journey of learning Korean. Although romanization may seem like an easy shortcut for now, Koreans read Hangul, not Romanized Korean. This may seem like a difficult feat to accomplish but I promise you, it’s easy.

                                          ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════ 

K o r e a n   C o n s o n a n t s

*The Korean consonants are listed below:

ㄱ= g/k

ㄴ= n

ㄷ= d

ㄹ=r/l**

ㅁ= m

ㅂ= b

ㅅ= s

ㅈ= j

ㅎ= h

K o r e a n   C o n s o n a n t s   P t . 2

These sounds often get confused with the ones above so learn those first.

ㅋ = k

ㅍ = p

ㅊ = ch

ㅌ = t

*Try not to associate each character with the English letter but rather, to the sound. There is no perfect way to represent Korean characters using English letters.

**ㄹ sounds between a ‘r’ and an ‘l’ depending on what the word is.

                                         ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

K o r e a n   V o w e l s

The Korean vowels are listed below:

ㅣ = i ㅏ = a ㅓ = eo* ㅡ = eu** ㅜ = u ㅗ = o 

*ㅓsounds more like ‘uh’ in English.

**  ㅡ is slightly more difficult to pronounce. Try saying it with a smile.
