LEARN KOREAN WITH STRAY KIDS

by StrayKidsVlives

Welcome to your first Korean lesson! In this introductory session, we will begin with the basics of the Korean language, presenting the alphabet, the first step to start your journey to mastering the beautiful Korean language. Let's get started!

CONSONANTS

ㅂ=b ㅈ=j ㄷ=d ㄱ=g ㅅ=s ㅁ=m ㄴ=n ㄹ=r/l

ㅎ=h ㅋ=k ㅌ=t ㅊ=c ㅍ=p ㅇ = ng

Korean does not have words like z , v.

For something similar to Z; they use ( j ) For V they use ( b )

ㅈ

ㅂ

ㅇ is special symbol used as zero-value meaning consonants . It function as place holder so "a" should write as 아 not ㅏ in korean.

VOWELS Vowel Hangul has a total of 21 vowel symbols.

Among them are 11 basic vowel and 10 double-vowel symbols.

The basic vowel symbols include : =a = eo =o =u =i =e = ae = we (as in wet) = wi (as in we are the world) = ui (u as in pull, followed by ee as in feet, but said quickly as one sound - uee )

ㅏ ㅓ ㅗ ㅜ ㅣ ㅔ ㅐ ㅚ ㅟ ㅢ

Ten double-vowel symbols are made of either adding one more stroke to some of the above basic vowel symbols or combining some basic vowel symbols together.

For instance, the following six double-vowel symbols are results of adding one more stroke (adding the y sound) to the first six vowel symbols above (e.g., adding a stroke to “a,” you get “ya”)

ㅑ ya (as in yard) ㅕyo (as in yonder) ㅛ yo (as in yoga) ㅠ yu (as in you) ㅐ ya (as in yankie) ㅖ ye (as in yes)

ㅏ

ㅑ

Another four double-vowel symbols are made up of combining some of the basic vowel symbols together (e.g., combining “o” and “a” produces “wa”): wa (as in wine) wo (as in wonder) wae (as in wait) whe (as in when)

ㅘ ㅝ ㅙ ㅞ

ㅘ

ㅗ

ㅏ

Try to identify vowels and consonants in the following set of lyrics (and tell us which song they are from) :

내 삶은 밑바닥 낭떠러지 어두운 터널 속을 걷고 있어 내게 잔인하고 두려운 하루를 홀로 버티고 있어 손을 내밀어도 날 잡아줄 사람은 아무도 없어 내 아픔 내 눈물을 타고 위로 빠져나가고 있어 Korean:

Can you distinguish consonants?

between

vowels

Little help : English: My life is walking through a dark tunnel at the bottom of a cliff. I'm enduring this cruel and scary day alone. Even if I hold out my hand, there's no one to hold me My pain is flowing upward through my tears.
