with people who know what they're talking about Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Last Part (I think) they're quick and easy and TL-made, so .... they have to be better, right? @OP: btw usually it's better to write something yourself with whatever content you're trying to provide don't just dump an image here and you'll have a longer life here on tl | ||

Take that with a grain of salt though, because I've only been learning Korean for a year. | ||

This is a great guide though, I would really love to be able to speak korean one day! Korean uses ONE character for both the R and the L sound. The character itself actually makes NEITHER of those sounds because it's actually sort of somewhere in between. This is the reason that Koreans have a hard time pronouncing L words, but it also means that when you transliterate there's really no way to make a 1:1 correspondence between characters.

I can't believe korean alphabet is so easy, it's awesome And yes, a lot of times Koreans sort of drop certain sounds. Again, words don't always get translated 1:1 by their characters. One thing that's REALLY important in Korean, is that letters get blocked into syllables, and if you look at the syllable construction you will notice they really NEVER end in consonants. Only vowels. But "Potter" ends in a consonant, which makes it super, SUPER hard for native Koreans to even SAY. It just goes against the grain so badly for them. That's why you get the stereotypically asian "uhh" at the end of words. It's not David, it's Daviduh It's not Potter, it's Pottuh | ||

Well Im sure you know better than I do then but I was curious since it says that the squiggly symbol that resembles an "S" is pronounced like the "R" in rattlesnake. | ||

Potter can be 파털 and david can be 대이빗 | ||

It means hair btw.. but it isn't the sound you are looking for in Potter. It would end up sounding more like Pa Tawl. I wouldn't try to rationalize any of the english word translations as it's not exactly a concrete system nor do they really care if the match is off by a bit. | ||
