Let's Learn Korean Language ( 한국어) - Pt 2

 Flower boy Kim Bum is here this time.
Just imagine that he is your private Korean Language teacher ^^

Ok, shall we proceed now??

• This is called mieum
• the sound value is M

말 = horse (mal)

• and this is bieup
• it produces the sound of B or P

버스 = bus (beo seu)
비빔밥 = mixed rice (bi bim bap)

• Okay, this is siot
• it produces the sound of S 
• even so, as we always heard, the word spelled with siot as the first letter often pronounced as shh sound. especially if the siot is accompanied by the letter I
• for example:
•  식품 매점= food stall (shik dang me jeom)
• 시원 = cool (shi weon)
• while some others are pronounced as the normal S
•  살다 = to live (salda)
• 사랑 = love (sarang)

• this ring shaped letter is ieung
• it is for the sound of ng
• however, this ieung has no sound value when it stands in front of any vowel
• it only make sound of ng at the word's end

시원 = cool (shi weon) --> the O doesn't make sound as it stands in front of double vowels weo. making the word sounds as weon (after adding nieun) and never can it be ngweon
사랑 = love (sarang)

• here is jieut
• make the sound of j (dz) and when you need z, you used jieut also
• sometimes jieut may looks different than the above picture. dis is due the stroke styles. the other form of jieut may look like the japanese katakana for su :

ス

주몽 = jumong
주무 = sleep (jumu) 

Have a good day everyone ^^
