ㅔㅖ were omitted because they are very similar to ㅐㅒ. You can get away with pronouncing them the same.

But you know that using them wrongly = totally different meaning right?


Well it's really confusing when you're first learning Korean...so I sort of understand where he is coming from.

Thanks a lot man!

Any chance of adding a download link to korean language pack?


Have you tried going to Regional and Language options in your control panel, going to language, and checking Install Files for East Asian Languages. I believe that would allow you to read them.

he might now have xp

Yeah, so don't go around spamming that in the streets of seoul. You'll probably get mugged and be hospitalised for a year without the culprits ever being caught.

It took me only six months or so to correctly grasp the Korean alphabet. The hard part is now establishing a vocabulary and grammar/sentence structure.

Let me quote King Sejong the Great who introduced Hangul to the public in 1446: "A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days".

I think you can add in some more examples, relating to english words, to help in their pronounciation of korean alphabets..
I'll list them below.. Also note that every word = a syllable..

ㅓ = ŏ (as in fault)
ㅕ= yŏ (as in york but without the r sound)
ㅗ = o (as in owe)
ㅛ = yo (as in yodel)
ㅜ = u (as in do)
ㅠ = yu (as in you)
ㅏ = a (as in father)
ㅑ = ya (as in yard but without the r sound)
ㅐ= ae (as in bear/hair but without the r sound)
ㅒ= yae (as in yeah)
ㅔ= e (as in edelweiss)
ㅖ= ye (as in yale)
ㅡ = ŭ (as in heaven)
ㅣ = i (as in tin, and as in see when coming to end of the word or before a vowel)



ㄱ = k/g
(k sound at start and end of word)
(g sound when between vowels, or [ㄴ/ㄹ/ㅁ/ㅇ]+ㄱ+ vowel)

ㄴ = n

ㄷ = t/d
(t sound at start and end of word)
(d sound when between vowels, or [ㄴ/ㄹ/ㅁ/ㅇ]+ㄷ+ vowel)

ㄹ = l/r
(l sound at start and end of word)
(r sound when between vowels)

ㅁ = m

ㅂ = p/b
(p sound at start and end of word)
(b sound when between vowels, or [ㄴ/ㄹ/ㅁ/ㅇ]+ㅂ+ vowel)

ㅅ = s/sh/t
(s sound if it does not follow the btm two rules)
(sh sound when coupled with ㅣ/ㅒ/ㅑ/ㅕ/ㅠ/ㅛ/ㅖ/ㅟ)
(t sound at the end of word)

ㅇ = *silent/ng
(*silent when at start of word)
(ng when at end of word)

ㅈ = ch/j/t
(ch sound at start of word)
(j sound when between vowels, or [ㄴ/ㄹ/ㅁ/ㅇ]+ㅈ+ vowel)
(t sound at end of word)

ㅊ = ch'/t
(ch' sound {as in church but more pronounced strongly} if it does not follow the btm rule)
(t sound at end of word)

ㅋ = k'/k
(k' sound {as in king but more pronounced strongly} if does not follow the btm rule)
(k sound at end of word)

ㅌ = t'/t
(t' sound {as in terrace but more pronounced strongly} if does not follow the btm rule)
(t sound at end of word)

ㅍ = p'/p
(p' sound {as in popstar but more pronounced strongly} if does not follow the btm rule)
(p sound at end of word)

ㅎ = h
(as in hello)


There are dbl consonants which are to pronounce with more force than the single equivalent:
ㄲ = kk (as in keep)
ㄸ = tt (as in ten)
ㅃ = pp (as in people)
ㅆ = ss (as in songs)
ㅉ = tch (as in judge)

Wow, sick guide...very intuitive.

I was totally expecting some kind of troll, though, with all that we've been getting lately in General...lol.

Thanks PH. Nope, I haven't finished reading the guide on trolling yet ^^;
