I"will start with Hangul (Korean Alphabet) as you need to be able to read and write in Korean if you learn. It really should take at most 15 mins to learn.
For Further information
Hangul:
ㅇ:SILENT. This one is usually silent, as it is just a place holder *if at the front or on top* but if at the end it adds no sound to the word. Ex: The last name Im is written as 임 in this case as it comes first it is silent. But if it’s something like this 방 (at the bottom/end of the word) then it adds an “ng” sound to it. So this 방 is bang.
ㅡ : This one is an “eu” sound to it. Ex: lets use the name Eun it is 은. Why does it have that at the top *ㅇ*? That’s because you can’t just write the name Eun as ㅡㄴ it just doesn’t make sense so that’s when the place holder comes in and Makes it 은 giving it meaning. The place holder is SILENT except at the back/ bottom where it gives an “ng” sound at the end.
ㅣ:This one should be simple and easier to remember because in English it’s literally the same thing as in Korean, and what I mean is in English language that is an I right? Well in Korean that is also an i
ㅏ :This is “a” and gives up an “a/ah” sound. Ex: In the word Annyeonghaseyo (Hello) which is written 안녕하세요 that “ㅏ” in the word gives it the “A/ Ah” sound.
ㅓ: Eo
ㅑ: When there is a second stroke you add a ‘y’ at the front so that “ㅑ” is Yah
ㅕ: Yeo. Remember add ‘y’ at the front if there’s a second stroke
ㅜ: U sound.
ㅗ: O sound.
ㅠ: There’s a second stoke on this one so instead of just the ‘u’ sound you add a ‘y’ at the front which makes it a “Yu” sound instead of ‘u’
ㅛ: Same rule so this would be “Yo”
ㅍ: ‘P’
ㅅ: S
ㅈ: J
ㅊ: Ch
ㅂ: B
ㄷ: D
ㅁ : M
ㄱ: G
ㄴ: N
ㅌ: T
ㅎ: H
ㄹ: R/L sound
ㅔ: E
ㅐ: Ae
ㅋ: K
ㅉ: JJ
ㄸ: DD
ㅆ: SS
ㄲ: Gg
So let’s try writing the band BTS name in Korean. Their full name is pronounced Bangtansonyeondan so if we were to write it in Korean it would be. 방탄소년단. Writing it step by step? 방 (Bang, because remember the “ㅇ” if at the end makes an “ng” sound) 탄 (Tan, ㅌ=T, ㅏ=a, ㄴ=n) 소 (So, ㅅ=S, ㅗ=o) 년 ( nyeon, ㄴ=n, ㅕ= Yeo, ㄴ=n) 단 ( dan ㄷ=d, ㅏ=a, ㄴ=n). And together it is Bang tan so nyeon dan (방탄소년단).
*Note that in The Korean language they talk in formal (to anyone older, or someone you don’t know)nand informal (to your friends) ways so you have to learn both*
Hi (informally) = Annyeong (안녕)
Hi (Formally) = Annyeonghaseyo (안녕하세요)
