Vowels and Consonants (and their names)

Here is a quick list of vowels and consonants and their names. A Korean spelling B might not be on your bingo card, but this is quite useful to know if you ever have to spell a word aloud in Korean or ask for spelling.

Vowels (모음)

ㅏ (아) ㅑ (야) ㅓ (어) ㅕ (여) ㅗ (오) ㅛ (요) ㅜ (우) ㅠ (유) ㅡ (으) ㅣ (이) ㅐ (애) ㅒ (얘) ㅔ (에) ㅖ (예) ㅘ (와, wa) ㅙ (왜, wae) ㅚ (외, oe or we) ㅝ (워, wo) ㅞ (웨, we) ㅟ (위, wi) ㅢ (의, ui or eui)

*The pronunciation of compound vowels trip me out, so I put the pronunciation for those too.

Consonants (자음)

ㄱ (기역) ㄲ (쌍기역) ㅋ (키읔) ㄴ (니은) ㄷ (디귿) ㄸ (쌍디귿) ㅌ (티읕) ㄹ (리을) ㅁ (미음) ㅂ (비읍) ㅃ (쌍비읍) ㅍ (피읖) ㅅ (시옷) ㅆ (쌍시옷) ㅈ (지읒) ㅉ (쌍지읒) ㅊ (치읓) ㅎ (히읗)

Sidenote: for other English speakers learning Korean out there, have you also ever found yourself spelling Korean or calling the letters by their English equivalent, like ㄱ if G and ㄴ in N or ㅂ is B? I giggle when remembering doing this a few times with classmates when talking about spelling.

Copy and paste into a document to save/annotate your own copy. Also, feel free to practice in the comments (or point out any inaccuracies)! We’re all learning here.

지금까지 여기 있어 줘서 감사합니다. ❤️

[hyperpotamianarch]

Hot take: /ʔ/ is a consonant, and the fact English can't have it in the middle of a word doesn't change that.
