To People who are studying Korean,


SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
There are many differences between Korean and English. One of them is a syntax. For instance, "I love you", this sentence is composed of the subject(S), verb(V) and an object(O). However, "나는 너를 사랑해(it means I love you)", this sentence is composed of the subject(S), an object(O) and verb(V). If you want to learn Korean, you'd better know about this basically. ^^

Hangul consists of 19 consonants and 21 vowels.

1. 10 monophthong
ㅏ ㅓ ㅗ ㅜ
a eo o u
ㅡ l ㅐ ㅔ ㅚ ㅟ
eu i ae e oe wi

for instance; 아이(kid) -

2. 11 diphthong
ㅑ ㅕ ㅛ ㅠ ㅒ
ya yeo yo yu yae
ㅖ ㅘ ㅙ ㅝ ㅞ ㅢ
ye wa wae wo we ui

for instance; 예(yes) - , 왜(why) - ,
우유(milk) -


1. plosive consonant
ㄱ ㄲ ㅋ
first:g/last:k kk k
ㄷ ㄸ ㅌ
first:d/last:t tt t
ㅂ ㅃ ㅍ
first:b/last:p pp p

for instance; 각(angle): ㄱ+ㅏ+ㄱ -
답(answer): ㄷ+ㅏ+ㅂ -

2. affricate
ㅈ ㅉ ㅊ
j jj ch

for instance; 주차(parking): ㅈ+ㅜ+ㅊ+ㅏ -

3. fricative consonant
ㅅ ㅆ ㅎ
s ss h

for instance; 회사(company): ㅎ+ㅚ+ㅅ+ㅏ -

4. nasal sound / liquid consonant
ㄴ ㅁ ㅇ ㄹ
n m ng r/l

for instance : 사랑(love); ㅅ+ㅏ+ㄹ+ㅏ+ㅇ
나무(tree); ㄴ+ㅏ+ㅁ+ㅜ

*** Do exercises. There are words of family.

father : 아버지 ah/beo/ji
mother : 어머니 eo/meo/ni
elder brother : 형(man → elder man) hyeong
오빠(woman → elder man) oppa
younger brother : 남동생 nam/dong/saeng
elder sister : 누나(man → elder woman) noo/nah
younger sister : 여동생 yeo/dong/saeng

When you meet Korean at first, say "안녕하세요".
안녕하세요(An/nyeong/ha/se/yo) means "hello".
