Yes, that's IU. <3

Ah yes, the third installment of the hopefully eagerly awaited hangul lesson.
Again, if you haven't read my previous blogs and want to learn hangul, you should, cuz otherwise you'll be very confused. :D

P1 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=216358
P2 http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=217620

[As always, you aren't going to be fluent after reading this. But you will develop a slightly better understanding of Korean writing/reading]

So let's review again. By now you already now quite the menagerie of letters, right?
Instead of going over the letters individually let's have you write them out.
Jee would be written as
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
지


Hang would be written as (And no you can't just look at the title because that's han-gul, this is different. :D sneakies.)
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
항


Nol or nor would be written as
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
놀


Hopefully you remembered everything. It's ok if you remembered the letters but didn't get the block for correct, you'll learn that as you practice more.

The first letter at batis a confusing one.
ㄱ k/g
Don't get confused with n ㄴ
How I remembered it was
g = ㄱ they kind of looks they same
However, ㄱ can make a g sound or a k sound. It also looks a little different when with a vowel. (it curves a little)
고
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
go


Next letter or consonant that's up is... ㅁLooks like a box. It's actually an m
You'll see this a lot in Korean surnames like 김 What does that say anyway?
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
Gim


And then we have another vowel. ㅐ Looks like an H, but don't get confused. This makes the ae sound.
You'll see this Bisu's name.
Kim 택 Yong

Last letter in this lesson is ㅅ
It looks a bit like ㅈ, so don't get confused.
ㅅ makes the s sound.

To put everything together, you should be able to read this by now. :D
사랑해
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
saranghae or "I love you" <333

고고씽
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
go go sshing or "Let's do it!"

농심
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
nong sim or shim
A Korean food company that makes jjang kimchi ramen bowls.
[image loading]


Now you're well on your way to learning Korean AND Hangul. Amazing. :D
Please leave me feedback on what you like and don't like about the structure of these lessons. I'm no teacher, and just do it how I learned or how I think it should be learned.

Again, if I made any silly typos or anything, please correct me. :D

TL 사랑해!

Next lesson: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=222194

Not to be picky or anything...but in your logo, I think adding a "lee" for teamliquid sounds better.

You wrote "teem kwee duew" but I think it should be "teem lee kwee duew" You know what I'm saying?

I hope u can understand my konglish.

Appreciate the lessons :D

One correction though, Jaedong's name is actually 이제동, not 이재동. His name is kind of misleading for the letter anyway, since most people pronounce it like JAY dong and not JAE dong.

JAE would still be 재, it should be JE for 제.

I personally don't agree that 김 sounds like Kim. It's spelled Kim because it's easier for a native English speaker to say Kim than Gim. In Korean, it still sounds like Gim, rather than Kim.

Also, Teamkid? 팀리퀴드;; (Teem-Ree-Quee-Deu)

Good initiative though I'm sure a lot of people appreciate your efforts.

5/5 for IU.

I think it's becuz some americans might read that as "Gym"

Kim is easy since there are american names like "kimberly"

Yes, that is why. That's why when teaching how to speak Korean, or read Hangul, it's important to correct these "localizations" and teach it as Gim. (G sounds like G in Game)

I've removed the Jaedong example. I'll wait till we learn the other (correct) vowels, thanks for pointing that out. :D

Mizu. I was just going to leave it but it's been bugging me all this time so I'm just going to say it.

The way you have teamliquid on your banner now currently says "team-li-ki-deu" or "teamlikid" when it should be team-li-kwee-deu. To make the "qui" sound you have to write the "kwee" part like l10f did.

I'm sorry I'm being picky about this but it's the name of our website and I just want to see it done correctly in korean, but if your tired of changing it then that's fine.

edit: other than that everything else seems fine and I think ur doing a great job.

재 and 제 make the same sound... people would probably write both as jae
lee jae ho
lee jae dong
i guess if you read it more like "jay", then i can see where you might be confused, but i read it as 제

nice little lessons! starting off slow is always nice (alternatively rushing into a language is really )

I really appreciate everyone correcting me. I'm still learning so I'm not sure if I'm in a position to actually be teaching, but I'm just trying to give back to TL. Thank you again for everyone who knows way more Korean/Hangul than me, it's helping me learn more.

so what was this lesson about? 아이유 right? didn't notice anything else at least

kidding aside 5/5 again thx and one question to all of you competent people here

is the ㅅ always a sh when next to an ㅣ or what is the rule there?
I feel like whenever there's a 시 it's shi
and for example in mizU's sig it would be so ...
(so that's what your sig says.. :D)

ps. I wasn't really kidding, all I looked at was the banner

I believe so, yes.
We'll go over y vowels like 요 and 야 and 유 near the last lesson. ^^

And.. yes, I'll agree IU is quite the distraction.:3

Well hangul seems to be a lot simpler than it appears. It's very nice of you to be teaching us how to read. Picking up bits and pieces of every language is useful.
