#How to pronounce Korean Alphabet called 'Han-gul'

Korean Language

Korean Alphabet called 'Han-gul'

In this post, 

I'd like to help you to learn Korean Alphabet called 'Han-gul'

It is definitely the most scientific writing system in the world ;)

And looks lovely

#Why Han-gul is so scientific and logical?

#Who created Hangul ?

Hangul(한글) is easy to read and write

It is created by Scholars in Jipyeon-jeon(집현전:Hall of Worthies)

during King Sejong regime (Joseon Dynasty in 1443)

We all know that Hangul is King Sejong's invention 

Of course, It is a great feat of King Sejong.

But I'd like to inform that it was Scholars great effort.

▼ Wikipedia

#How is Hangul organized?

Hangul has 19 consonant and 21 vowel letters.
As soon as you acquire this, You can write and read all of the Korean words.



# 19 consonant (자음 : Ja-eum : 子音)


<단자음 : Single Consonants : 單子音>

I'll using 'ㄱ' as an example
The name is 'Gi-yeok' (기역) and The sound is 'Geu' (그)
similar with 'Grace', 'Grape', 'Gun', 'Goal' in English

 ㄱ / ㄴ / ㄷ / ㄹ / ㅁ / ㅂ / ㅅ / ㅇ / ㅈ / ㅊ / ㅋ / ㅌ / ㅍ / ㅎ 


ㄱ :   'Gi-yeok' (기역) / 'Geu' (그) 
ㄴ : 'Ni-eun' (니은) / 'Neu' (느)
ㄷ : 'Di-geut' (디귿) / 'Deu' (드)
ㄹ : 'Li-eul' (리을) / 'Leu' (르)
ㅁ : 'Mi-eum' (미음) / 'Meu' (므)
ㅂ : 'Bi-eub' (비읍) / 'Beu' (브)
ㅅ : 'Si-ot' (시옷) / 'Seu' (스)
ㅇ : 'E-eung' (이응) / 'Eu' (으)
ㅈ : 'Ji-eut' (지읒) / 'Jeu' (즈)
ㅊ : 'Chi-eut' (치읓) / 'Cheu' (츠)
ㅋ : 'Ki-euk' (키읔) / 'Keu' (크)
ㅌ : 'Ti-eut' (티읕) / 'Teu' (트)
ㅍ : 'Pi-eup' (피읖) / 'Peu' (프)
ㅎ : 'He-eut' (히읗) / 'Heu' (흐)

<쌍자음 : Homogeneous Twin Consonants>

 ㄲ / ㄸ / ㅃ / ㅆ / ㅉ 

It has tensed sound
When we call its name,
'Ssang' is required before this word.
'Ssang(쌍)' means 'Pair'

ㄲ : 'Ssang-Gi-yeok' 'Ggue'


The principle is so simple
A pair of Giyeok become Ssang-Giyeok


Like this


ㄱ + ㄱ = ㄲ
ㄷ + ㄷ = ㄸ
ㅂ + ㅂ = ㅃ
ㅅ + ㅅ = ㅆ
ㅈ + ㅈ = ㅉ


ㄲ: 'Ssang-Giyeok' (쌍기역) / 'Ggeu' (끄) 
ㄸ : 'Ssang-Digeut' (쌍디귿) / 'Ddeu' (뜨)
ㅃ : 'Ssang-Bieub' (쌍비읍) / 'Bbeu' (쁘)
ㅆ :  'Ssang-Siot' (쌍시옷) / 'Sseu' (쓰)
ㅉ :  'Ssang-Jieut' (쌍지읒) / 'Jjeu' (쯔)

<Memorization>

Plus, I will help you to memorize its sound

▼ Soft sound

ㄱ : Grace / Goal / Gun
ㄴ : No / Name / Noodle
ㄷ : Doll / Dress / Drama
ㄹ : Line / Long / Rail / Rome
ㅁ : Mine / Mall / Model
ㅂ : Brave / Bass / Bridge
ㅅ : Slice / Scotland / Street / Chef / Shape

#Relaxed Summer Vacation

#Relaxed Summer Vacation

진현이랑 세란이와 함께 보내는 여름방학

Nothing beats relaxing at home during the holiday season. 

If there is an air conditioner. 
We gathered early in the morning and threw a brunch party. 

We cooked many dishes, drank red and white wines, grabbed a coffee 

and strolled the park around lake. I'm just spending my holidays ordinarily
