How it Works & Practice
ㅇ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 안
^
Remember that the ㅇ symbol always appears at the beginning when starting with a vowel so it says (- + a + n = an) aka like 'on' and 'an'.
ㄴ + ㅕ + ㅇ = 녕
n + yeo + ng = nyeong
In this instance, the ㅇ is at the end where it becomes the '-ng', don't forget!
ㅎ + ㅏ = 하
h + a = ha
ㅅ + ㅔ = 세
s + e = se
ㅇ + ㅛ = 요
- + yo = yo
Now, put all of it together and what do you get!?! :D
안 + 녕 + 하 + 세 + 요 = 안녕하세요?
an + nyeong + ha + se + yo = annyeonghaseyo? (How are you?)
~~~
ㄱ + ㅗ = 고
g + o = go
ㅁ + ㅏ + ㅂ = 맙
m + a + p = map
ㅅ + ㅡ + ㅂ = 습
s + eu + p = seup
ㄴ + ㅣ = 니
n + i = ni
ㄷ + ㅏ= 다
d + a = da
고 + 맙 + 습 + 니 + 다 = 고맙습니다
go + map + seum + ni + da = Gomapseumnida.* (Thank you [fml./polite]).
*Don't forget the rules of Liaison!

Hangeul Practice
It is important that you learn the letters and syllables in order to have a good understanding of Korean.
Just to prepare everyone, all lessons beyond Lesson 5 will not include transliteration, so it is important to have a good grasp of Hangeul before proceeding. Get started practicing with the following exercises.
--------
A. Write out the Hangeul for the syllables below.
1. gan
2. da
3. neol
4. rip
5. song
6. ap
7. hwa
8. jal
9. gyeong
10. meu
B. Write the following phrases in Hangeul.
1. Eodi gaseyo? (Where are you going?)
2. Hangugeo leul haseyo? (Do you speak Korean?)
3. jal hasi neun deyo. (You're doing well.)
C. For further practice, copy the Korean Alphabet, repeating the sound of the letter as you write. Every time you come across a new Korean word in the lessons, cover the Hangeul and try to write it out following the transliteration. Do the same thing the opposite way until you have a good grasp of each letter and are better at recognizing syllables in Hangeul.
(빨이 가요! =Ppali gayo! = Let's go quickly!/Let's go quickly! = Ppali gayo! = 빨이 가요!)

P.S. - When you see and reply to this post, I would like it if you could put how many times you retried, how many you got wrong, how many times you had to look back to see what you got wrong.
I will also be putting up Lesson 1 very soon and the answers for the practice with it! :)
If you are able to download the program that allows you to actually type like this (which, believe me, is very hard to write with when you touch-type and are suddenly changing the way your fingers should go), please put the answers in your reply. Otherwise, if you could take a picture, put it on photobucket then link it onto the page in either a reply or comment, thank you!
Or if you want, Gomapseumnida, Gomawoyo or Gamsahamnida~
The second one is informal but polite. |
