Korean from the beginner level

Hallo  guys!!

For the past two months I have been posting  about foods and places to dine and visit and it dawned to me that I had not even thought of even introducing to you some of the Korean that I have learnt here for the past two years.{ how rude of me}
From the beginners level I will probably begin by teaching or rather showing you the alphabets.

I will combine the simple vowels and  the compound vowels in the box and then explain later below


Simple vowels                                                                   compound vowels
            /a /    


           /eu/                   /ya/                 /yae/     
/eo/ 

/e/ /yeo/ /wa/
/o/  


/ae/ /yo/ /wo/
/u/  {


/oe/ /yu/ /wae/
/i/ 

/wi/ /ye/ /we/



And I forgot to add one more compound vowel in the table ㅢ which is pronounced as /ui/


As for the compound vowels I will write briefly how to pronounce them


  •    -   makes a   wasp  sound

  •  -   makes a  wax

  •  -   makes a  war                                                

  • ㅞ -   makes a weather
  •                                     
  •  -   makes a yarn

  • -   makes a  yank

  •  -   makes a  yodel like {yoh yoh yoh}

  •  -   makes a Yes

  •  -   makes a Yoga

  •  -   makes a You

  •  -   makes a we





For the time being I will let you practice and I will post more on vowels and then I will introduce consonants and the pronunciation!!

Keep practicing!!!

ciao
Peace out!
