Hangeul + Korean Words

✏ Hangeul + korean words

====📚====

please take this seriously because this chapter, I think is the MOST IMPORTANT chapter that I'll be updating because as you all know, Korean has different way of writing and their alphabet looks and writes different from us so I want you to take this seriously and practice this after I teach you because learning korean without learning their alphabet first is USELESS. I am telling you.
And if you already know how to read and how to write hangeul, CONGRATULATIONS !!! 축하합니다!! ㅋㅋㅋ buT if you still wanna learn something, you can still read this one :> lovelots < 3

한글 or Hangeul literally means "The Korean Writing".

한글 consists of 14 consonants and 10 vowels.

Consonants -
ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ (did you know that you can also sing this consonants like English alphabet?)

Vowels -
ㅏㅑㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜㅠㅡ ㅣ

In addition, there are 5 double consonants and 11 double vowels.

Double Consonants -
ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ

Double Vowels -
ㅐ ㅒ ㅔ ㅖ ㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅢ

Additionally, there are 11 double consonants

Double Consonants -
ㄳ ㄵ ㄶ ㄺ ㄻ ㄼ ㄽ ㄾ ㄿ ㅀ ㅄ

Let's learn how to read Hanguel by romanizing them into English Alphabet!

자음 [Consonants]

ㄱ = g
ㄴ = n
ㄷ = d
ㄹ = l / r
ㅁ = m
ㅂ = b
ㅅ = s
ㅇ = no sound (when used as a first consonant / used as "ng" as final consonant)
ㅈ = j
ㅊ = ch
ㅋ = k
ㅌ = t
ㅍ = p
ㅎ = h

모음 [vowels]

ㅏ = a
ㅑ = ya
ㅓ = eo
ㅕ = yeo
ㅗ = o
ㅛ = yo
ㅜ = u
ㅠ = yu
ㅡ = eu
ㅣ = i

쌍 자음 [Double Consonants]

ㄲ = kk (gg)
ㄸ = tt (dd)
ㅃ = pp (bb)
ㅆ = ss
ㅉ = jj

[you can ask at the comment box if you have questions on this part!]

쌍 모음 [double vowels]

ㅐ= ae [like eh not ey]
ㅒ= yae
ㅔ= e
ㅖ = ye
ㅘ = wa
ㅙ = wae (like weh as in 왜)
ㅚ = wi
ㅝ = woe (wo)
ㅞ = we
ㅟ = wi
ㅢ = ui

there are two 쌍 모음 that is rarely used which are ㅒ and 웨 but good to know.

Now let's form a character. But first, how to form a character?

This is my only tip for you guys, When i was learning how to write korean, I didn't know how to form a character, I actually can't remember how I learned. Anyway, This is my tip, USE KEYBOARD as your learning tool. If your phone's keyboard has a Korean language, add that. Keep on typing anything even if you don't know any korean words. If you'd noticed this when typing:

ㄹㄷ밤 ㅏㅁ ㅎㅍㅁ

that's wrong. and if you see this:

퍼나마미밈오노워마매뮤 (no meaning)

this is the right way.

AND ALSO, read korean news (even on social media), posts or anything that is written in korean, i assure you, that will help you.

*** BACK TO FORMING A CHARACTER ***

In forming a character, we have to start with consonant first and then go with vowel. This method is Initial Consonant + Vowel

example:

ㅂ+ㅔ= 베 (be)
ㅈ+ㅓ= 저 (jeo)
ㄴ+ ㅠ = 뉴 (nyu)

In another method which is Initial Consonant + Vowel + Final Consonant

examples:

ㅁ + ㅗ + ㄱ = 목 (mok)
ㅈ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 잔 (jan)
ㅂ + ㅏ + ㅂ = 밥 (bab)
ㅁ + ㅐ + ㅇ = 맹 (maeng)

[again, if you still can't understand, ask me.]

So what if the final consonant is a double consonant, how do we read that?

examples:

ㄷ + ㅏ + ㄲ = 닦 (dakk)
ㄲ becomes kk when pronounced.

ㅇ + ㅏ + ㅆ = 았 (att)
ㅆ becomes tt when pronounced.
but there is a exemption, when the final consonant ㅆ is followed by a vowel, it becomes ss.

었어요 it's not otteoyo but eosseoyo.

And if you have to write something that you think you're pronouncing a vowel like yedam (ygtb yo!) you have to write ㅇ first because as i've said earlier ㅇ has no sound when used as initial/first consonant but if you use it as final consonant it sounds and pronounced as ng (nang).

examples:
예담 /ye-dam/
얼쑤 /eol-ssu/
언니 /eonnie/

Before I end this, these are the free korean words that you can learn in this chapter:

1. 연필 /yeon-pil/
• 연필 / yeon-pil means pencil

2. 나라 /na-ra/
• 나라 / nara means country

3. 크다 /keu-da/
• 크다 /keu-da/ means to be big

4. 집 /jib/
• 집 /jib/ means house

5. 이마 /ima/
• 이마 /ima/ means forehead.
