hey all!!! my class had started and i kinda busy for this 2 weeks due to the performance that i'll be doing (10 minute crew) on 30th January for LOVE@2PM.... Currently i'm learning korean language (just 1 month).. but i still need to refresh my french, tagalog & hindi ...sometime i just mixed it up...anyway let's start our lesson..
There are 24 letters (jamo) in korean alphabets : 14 consonant and 10 vowels
Korean language = Hanguk-o [ 한 국 어 ]
Korean writting = Hangeul [ 한 글]
I divided Hangeul into 4 parts
Hangeul part 1 – 5 basic consonants and 6 basic vowels
CONSONANTS
ㄱ (gi-yeok) - G/K pronounciation: start with ‘G’ but end with ‘K’ sound (soft k)
ㄴ (ni-eun) – N pronounciation: firmly ‘N’
ㅁ (mi-eum) – M pronounciation: firmly ‘M’
ㅅ (shiot) – S pronounciation: firmly ‘S’
ㅇ(ieung) – NG pronounciation: firmly ‘NG’ **if it is in front of vowels it is silent, no sound
VOWELS
아 – ah , as in father
어 – eo , similar to O but rounded low back vowel(bunyi O menurun) e.g. ‘u’ in sun
오 – o , full O sound e.g: go
우 – u , as in who
으 – eu , as in taken
이 – I / EE , as in teeth (ee)
Try to memorize this step by step…will update the next part at the end of the week.. message me at www.facebook.com/layna.hassan for more info.. tq..
