02/07/18 - Went to the new Starbucks that opened near my uni and everything was so aesthetic 😍
Yesterday I watched Shinee on Weekly Idol and they all looked so happy and they were making jokes and Key was roasting everyone and trying to run away from the studio and Minho was being competitive as hell and Taemin was being his usual weird self and Jinki was smiling and laughing like the sunshine he is and I’m just so happy for them. They are doing so well I’m so proud

Bottom Position - 받침 (bat-chim)
받침 is the bottom position in a syllable and it has some rules:
Different sound - consonants in 받침 have a more subtle sound. It is as if you were about to pronounce that consonant but then stop.
Carry over the sound - if the first sound in a syllable after 받침 is a vowel, you carry over the last consonant’s sound from the last syllable.

Korean A1/Beginner - Lesson #1 - February 28th 2018
Disclaimer: Everything that will be posted here is taken from my Korean Beginner’s class. If you see any mistakes, please let me know. Enjoy!
Our teacher started the first class asking us a few questions.
How do you say “Korean” in Korean? A: 한글 (han-geul).
Who created the Korean language? A: 세종대왕 (se-jong-dae-wang), which means The Great King Se Jong.
How many vowels and consonants are there in Korean? A: Vowels - 21 Consonants - 19
How do you say “South Korea” in Korean? A: 대한민국 (dae-han-min-gug), which means something like The Great Republic of Korea or 한국 (han-gug).
And how do you say “North Korea” in Korean? A: 북한 (buk-han).
After this, she showed us the right ways to write in Korean:
C: Consonants V: Vowels
You start writing from left to right, starting up and going downwards. You should use this order for reading as well.
On this day we learned 6 vowels and 4 consonants.
Vowels: 모음 (mo-eum)
Note: I am using the romanizations that you will most often see out there on the internet.
아 - a (sounds like the a in cactus)
어 - eo (sounds like the o in off)
오 - o (sounds like the o in word)
우 - u/oo (sounds like the oo in school)
으 - eu (sounds like the e in site)
이 - i/ee (sounds like i in list)
Attention! When there is no consonant sound before a vowel, that vowel must be preceded by the consonant ㅇ which becomes silent. Ex.: 아니 (a-ni)
Consonants: 자음 (ja-eum)
ㅁ - m (souns like the m in mother)
ㄴ - n (sounds like the n in note)
ㄹ - l/r (if this consonant is at the end of the syllable and is followed by either a consonant or nothing at all, it sounds like l; if it is followed by a vowel, it sounds very similar to a soft r but not quite like it. The most similar sound I have heard in English is of the double dd when you wadda fast.)
ㅇ - silent/ng (when this consonant is at the beginning of a syllable, it is silent. If it comes at the end of the syllable, it sounds like the ng in anger)
Vocabulary
This vocab is very random and serves to practice some of the consonants and vowels we just learned.
모음 - vowels
자음 - consonants
아이 - child
아무 - no one
이마 - forehead
오이 - cucumber
어머 - expression of suprise
나 - I
누나 - older sister (for boys)
나무 - tree
너무 - a lot, too much
나라 - country
미니 - mini
미리 - before
라마 - llama
무리 - group of animals
어머니 - mother
우리 - we, us
오리 - duck
머리 - head
어느 나라 - which country
아우 - younger brother (it is rarely used nowadays, only some of the eldest use it)
대 - big, great
왕 - king
안녕하세요 - hello (formal)
안녕 - hi (informal)
안녕히가세요 - goodbye, go in peace (listener is leaving)
안녕히계세요 - goodbye, stay in peace (listener is staying)
