yea i know bb is good to represent ㅃ.. romanizing korean in english is pretty vague for describing how they sound but i wouldn't think that using p for ㅂ is that far off? ㅍ could be like ppak maybe? o_O
A lot of the names of koreans translated into English are pretty poorly written out.
Park is more pronounced as 'bahk' in korean Lee is more of just 'ee' Choi is actually 'Cha' Seo is actually 'Suh'
There are probably more but I have to step out in a sec. I don't know why they decided upon these ways to write out the names that are so odd against the Korean pronunciation. Probably something done originally and just stuck.

Not that it should dissuade your studies, but Korean is far from one of the easiest languages to learn. I disagree agree that the grammar is easy. It's confusing for an English speaker to learn subject markers and object markers The grammar is also back to front, which increases the difficulty further. Also, Korean has so many particles and endings that it can easily confuse the listener.Then you have to learn 반말 and 존댓말. (2 politeness levels). It's definitely a great language to learn, but a challenge to be sure. Anyone can get the basics, that's a piece of cake, but attaining real fluency, well that takes time. Good luck fellas.
no dude...yeah you can say all that...but you can say all that and then some for other languages
korean is easy to learn
it's not as easy to learn as riding a bike, but it's easier to learn than other languages (still hard obviously)
what a load of bullshit
yeah ur right the '(still hard obviously)' part was a load of bullshit
