써니 사랑해<3
I'd like you all to meet my wife, if you haven't already. <3333


For those of you curious, that's Sunny from 소녀시대 (SNSD/Girls' Generation). Yes, she's awesome and hella adorable, and no you may not have her. I have dibs. ^^

I realize these may get dull and repetitive, so I'm going to try and do as much as I can to have little new things each blog that you guys can look forward to. First thing I'll update is the gorgeous girl in the banner. Yes, eternal love for IU, but I wanna show off my other girlies. ^^ I'll also try to put little updates on me going to Korea near the bottom, for those of you following my Japanese in Korea blog.
I'll find other things you guys can look forward too!

Haven't had much time to do this recently, but now that finals are done, and I'm home in Hawaii, here's part 4!

Same spiel, if you haven't read my earlier lessons, and want to learn, make sure you do so!

Aigoo, you already know so much!
It's gonna be hard for me to keep track of what to review and what's new. :3
I'm also going to try and incorporate as much English AND Korean terms so you can connect and reinforce, while learning Korean culture, and some language.


Anyway, let's try to quiz you for review!

록
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
rohk or rock


마일
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
mah-eer or mile


진짜
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
jin-jjah or jinjja, Korean expression for "really?"


오사마
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
[image loading]
oh-sah-mah, or Osama. lol.


이한
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
You BW fans should hear this a lot, ee-han, in "ee han timing"
Han is one, and ee, is this, so this one timing


Now I get to teach you guys the ones I've been dying to teach you because some of the examples I've been wanting to use require them. T.T

First up! ㅂ, or b. This is the easiest to remember because it looks like a hybrid B+b
Application time.

빙고
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
beeng-go or BINGO. B-i-n-g-o, blah blah blah


So as to not overload your mind with streams of consonants, a vowel.
Alas:
ㅔ. Don't get confused with ㅐ
They look similar but make different sounds.
ㅔ makes the eh sound.

Application and a little Korean
네
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
neh
Neh, or yes in Korean


After b and eh, let's do d. This one is also fairly easy to remember, as it looks similar to it's English counterpart.
ㄷ is the Korean D. I find it easy to remember because it looks like a D+d hybrid. :o

If you want to learn a bit of Korean while learning Hangul, read the spoiled part below. BUT, if you might get confused easily, you can just skip it.
+ Show Spoiler +
At the end of a lot of Korean phrases you'll see 합니다, or
+ Show Spoiler [Try to read it before you click this!] +
hab-nee-dah

meaning I do, or I am doing. In the phrase 감사합니다,
+ Show Spoiler [Try to read it before you click this!] +
kam-sah-hab-nee-dah

감사 means appreciation or thankfulness, and when you put the two together, you get
thankfulness I am doing, or simply, thank you.


Application time!

데이 나인
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
[image loading]
deh-ee nah-een, or Day Nine, those of you who don't know who Day[9] or Sean Plott is... FIND OUT!
데이 나인 사랑해~~


Here's a "simple" vowel to wrap it up. ^^

First up, ㅡ
WTF? That's it?
Yup, just a line. ㅡ
This makes the eu sound, and is commonly used in romanizations when a word ends in a consonant. Such as hand = 핸드 or
+ Show Spoiler [You should know this] +
haen-deu


Application time!
란드 로바
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
ran-deu roh-bah or land rover


Review!
Now you get to try writing! :D
The ones with hangul, try to read, the ones with English, try to write.
Again, if you don't have a pen or pencil near you, at least try to write it with your finger or something to at least get some practice.

baneling
+ Show Spoiler [Check your hangul] +
배인링
+ Show Spoiler [Pronounciation] +
bae-een-reeng


네이비
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
neh-ee-bee or navy


게임잉
+ Show Spoiler [Check your answer] +
geh-eem-eeng or gaming


lemonade
+ Show Spoiler [Check your hangul] +

+ Show Spoiler [Pronounciation] +
reh-moh-neh-ee-deu


racing
+ Show Spoiler [Check your hangul] +
레이싱
+ Show Spoiler [Pronounciation] +
reh-ee-sheeng


Don't worry if your romanizations aren't exact, it's hard to get perfect the first couple of times. Mainly, just make sure you know the letters and sounds. :D




That's it for now! Tune in for my next lesson!
Next lesson: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=224568

+ Show Spoiler [Me in Korea (progress)] +
So as many of you know I've been accepted to study abroad in Korea next semester. However it's summer now, and I'm waiting on my acceptance letter from Korean University: Sejong. It's basically a formality, but I need that in order to get my visa, plane ticket set up, etc. For now, I'm eating AWESOME Korean food here in Hawaii, BBQ chicken+kalbi, and kimchi and all the other wonderful sides I need to learn the names of. I just had kalbi tonight that my mom made. :3 so yummy. I'm also trying to learn Korean. It's a hard process, but I've never been more motivated. Ever. I almost feel like I should switch majors to international studies or Korean, cuz I study this more than my actual school stuffs. :o
Anyway, until I get that letter, everything is kind of on pause, but I'll keep posting lessons and keep you all posted. ^^

안녕!~~

*Again, you Korean speakers, let me know if I fudged anything please. Much appreciated. <3

Also, please let me know what you like and don't like in my lessons, I'm not a teacher by any means, casually or professionally, so I'll definitely appreciate all input regarding that matter. Also, if you want a certain female k-pop star in that banner, I'll take requests into consideration! (But they have to align with my tastes. :D)

진자 should be 진짜, or have you not taught double consonants yet and are trying to keep it simple?

I've enjoyed your blogs so far, keep going and gl in korea ^^

I'm not going over double consonants yet. :o

Last lesson or so, probably after the y vowels.

Shouldn't bingo be 빙고 instead of 빙오?

And I think that the Korean words should have more syllables for some of the English words, like Baneling, it should be 배인링

But my Korean is like at a grade schooler level so, haha

Great write up though!

It could also probably be 빈고, but romanization isn't an exact science.
There's a lot of "correct" answers, and so far, I've seen things romanized a ton of different ways.
I'm basically just focusing on the core usage of the letters, and everything else around it (in romanization) I'm kind of ignoring.

Even though I already know all this stuff (so far!), this is still nice revision for me, and would be really really awesome for someone who doesn't know any Korean.

Can't wait for the next installment. Props to you for doing this. ^^

Racing is spelled 레이싱, really is 진짜, bingo is 빙고, day nine is 데이 나인, overlord is 오버로드, navy is 네이비, answer is 앤써, hand is 핸드, etc...
Even though the romanization may differ, there is a certain standard way that Koreans write things, and I think you should stick with it =[

5/5~

I'll change it, thank you soooo much!

This is the kind of stuff I need input on, cuz my Korean sucks. T.T

I'll have to write new examples, but hopefully they'll be correct. Please continue correcting me if my new examples are still wrong. :\

Hopefully I don't have to explain the double consonants that much, but I'll try to keep them out of the exercise parts, and just use them as examples. I'd actually hate to have someone learn a Korean phrase with incorrect hangul. :o

Thank you so much for these! Until know, I've only been learning the alphabet from the subtitles in KPOP videos or the few words that appear on screen in BW VODs. I'd very much appreciate some very basic grammar lessons, if you can (some time in the future).

I'll likely do grammar lessons after I finish all of the letters (there's still a lot more), and when I'm confident in my own Korean to do grammar. :3
It probably won't be for a few months... it'll be more likely to happen when I come back from Korea, or when I'm there.

This is awesome thanks a lot. I already knew Hangul so this is a good revision. But it's a cool thing that I can learn new words, and eventually, new sentences.

Keep it up, you rock!

When I was first learning Hangul, I read somewhere that for 시 you pronounce it like "shi". So I would think that 레이싱 would be pronounced something like "re-ee-sheeng".
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

네 맞아요
You're right.
Perhaps I should change that in my pronunciation keys. :3
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to incorporate it without confusing too many people.

It may just be me (or my Australian accent), but it seems pretty dang hard to write English words in Hangul correctly. Is the pronunciation that they choose to use as the basis for the transliteration arbitrary, or is there actually a system for working it out?

For example, I pronounce the first half of "Day Nine" and "Baneling" exactly the same (except for D<->B), but you have them written differently in Hangul.

edit: Tons of thanks for writing this blog series, though, it's got me interested in learning Korean and has been a blast to work through.

baneling 밴링

I don't agree with this. When things are just 에 or 애 they tend to have the "ay" sound. When they have a final consonant, or even a starting consonant, the "ay" tends to soften. For example:

애 = Ae
밴 = Ban

Another example is my name, Blake -> 블레이크. If you wrote it 블레크, it sounds more like "Black"

To really emphasize the "ay", Koreans usually add an extra 이 after the 애/에.

So basically I'm saying I would write Baneling as 배인링.

Edit: My tone sounds really dry. I love these Blogs!!!! I always read them twice or three times and all the comments and learn a bunch from them. Thanks!
