Hello. This is Terumi. Then, I'll start! combined vowels, and final consonants. Here is the Hangul table that shows all of the Korean letters. You can download the PDF version of this table for free from my website. Also, the pronunciation is written using the English alphabet. So you can use it to check your Korean pronunciation. However, the way the letters are written in English is a bit different from the actual Korean pronunciation, Therefore, I recommend using it solely as a reference. The basic sounds consist of basic vowels and consonants. But what are vowels and consonants? It already sounds difficult. In English, vowels are a, e, i, o, u. and consonants are other sounds such as k, t, s, m, and so on. Please see the first page of my Hangul table. This is like an alphabet chart in English. There are 140 types of sounds here. In fact, Korean has many vowels and consonants. Also, you can make thousands of letters by combining the aspirated sounds, combined vowels, and final consonants. It sounds very difficult. Right, but no worries. You only need to remember 24 characters. Please see the Hangul table again. The blue row from left to right is the vowels. And the orange column from top to bottom is the consonants. All letters in this table can be made by combining these vowels and consonants. For example, let's take a look at Miyeon, pronounced "N." Now, let's take a look at vowel a, which is pronounced a. If we combine these two to make ma, The pronunciation becomes "ma." Therefore, all of these 140 letters in the Hangul table are composed by combining 10 vowels and 14 consonants. Also, the aspirated and tense sounds, combined vowels and final consonants are based on these 24 characters. So, even though there are thousands of characters in Korean, You only need to remember 10 vowels and 14 consonants. In total, 24 characters to read them all! Yay! The number 24 is even less than The number of English alphabets. So, reading Korean is actually very easy! Also, can you see the small circle in the center? It is written ngeu slash nal. which means vowels. We are going to learn these today. At the bottom, there are four rows in green. voiced aspirated sound These four are the strong sounds. that we will learn later. Now then, let's begin learning the vowels.
