Korean Lesson 1

i think korean is difficult as compared to Japanese(which is closer to Chinese).
anyway, i just found out how to type Korean words, so i'm gonna post some here =D
i have problems memorising them =(

Lesson 1 Hangul (한글 Korean Alphabet)

It consists of 40 letters, 21 of them represent vowels, 19 represent consonants.
24 are basic while the others are compounds of basic letters.


Read as: (left to right)
ah, or, oh, wu, eu, e, a, a


Read as: (left to right)
yah, your, yo, you, ye, ye


Read as: (left to right)
wa, where, wo, where, where, we, eu-ii


Read as: (left to right)
kiyok, nieun, digot, reel, mieum, bieup, siot, ieung, jieut

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each korean word is made up of
1consonant + 1vowel + 1consonant
or
1consonant + 1 vowel

Example of 1consonant + 1 vowel:

아 버 지 = Father
(read as: ah pu ji)
ㅇis a consonant &ㅏ is a vowel.

Example of 1consonant + 1vowel + 1consonant:

맛 있 다 = Delicious
(read as: ma shi ta)
ㅁis a consonant, ㅏ is a vowel & ㅅ is the end consonant.

It's important to know individual characters as there'll be forming of words which will be added later on(:

Let me know if this helps! I noticed that most videos, just teach the word on the whole but not break them up =x
*Going to do project now, will continue when i'm free^^
