| Hi, my name is Kaejin |
| and this is Korean Explained by koreanclass101.com |
| In this lesson, you will learn key vocabulary, |
| a short dialogue, and its sentence pattern. |
| Then, explore example sentences, cultural notes, and a quick review. |
| Let's start with vocabulary. |
| Are you ready? |
| So, when you use the email address, |
| you use this kind of English alphabet, right? |
| And it's same in Korea. |
| Yes, we use that. |
| However, the pronunciation is a little different. |
| So, I'm going to introduce those pronunciation. |
| Please listen carefully and see how we spell it. |
| So, first, we have A. |
| In Korean, it's |
| 에이 |
| (ei) |
| And this is B. |
| In Korean, it's |
| 비 |
| (bi) |
| It sounds similar to English, but not exactly the same, right? |
| Next is C. |
| In Korean, it's |
| 씨 |
| (ssi) |
| And next is |
| (디) |
| di |
| This is how Korean people read this alphabet in Korean. |
| 디 |
| (di) |
| And how about this? |
| This is |
| 이 |
| (i) |
| So, Korean is like syllable-based pronunciation. |
| So, it's like E, D, A. |
| Let's look at more words here. |
| So, next one is I. |
| In Korean, it's |
| 아이 |
| (ai) |
| Next is J. |
| In Korean, it's |
| 제이 |
| (jei) |
| We don't have J, J, J sound. |
| So, it becomes 제이 (jei). |
| And this one is |
| 케이 |
| (kei) |
| So, it sounds a little similar, right? |
| It's J-I-K. |
| It becomes 제이 (jei), 아이 (ai), 케이 (kei). |
| And this one is L. |
| It's 엘 (el) in Korean. |
| 엘 (el). It's not L. |
| It's more like L, L. |
| Okay. |
| How about this? |
| This is |
| 엠 |
| (em) |
| And in Korean pronunciation, this alphabet is |
| 엔 |
| (en) |
| It's similar to English, right? |
| So, hopefully, it's not so difficult for you. |
| But how about this? |
| This is not O, O in Korean. |
| But it's more like |
| 오 |
| (o) |
| It's not O, it's 오 (o) |
| One syllable, 오 (o). |
| And next is P, |
| 피 |
| (pi) |
| And next is |
| 큐 |
| (kyu) |
| This is Korean pronunciation. |
| Next is |
| 티 |
| (ti) |
| And this is |
| 유 |
| (yu) |
| And this is |
| 와이 |
| (wai) |
| it's not Y, but it's 와이 (wai) |
| Yes. |
| So, how about this alphabet? |
| This is a little tricky because we don't have these sounds in Korean. |
| I mean, most of these, like this. |
| So, we have our own pronunciation. |
| This is not F, F, F. |
| We don't have F sound. |
| There's no F sound in Korean. |
| So, you pronounce it as the P sound as in |
| 에프 |
| (epeu) |
| This is 에프 (epeu) |
| And how about this? |
| This is |
| 쥐 |
| (jwi) |
| Or |
| 지 |
| ((jwi)) |
| And this is에이치 (eichi). |
| It's H, right? |
| 에이치 |
| (eichi) |
| And this one is not R because we don't have R sound in Korean. |
| So, it becomes |
| 알 |
| (al) |
| It sounds very different, right? |
| Next is S and in Korean is |
| 에스 |
| (eseu) |
| In Korean, we don't end the word with consonant only, like S, S. |
| We always need a vowel sound. |
| So, if some words end with S, S, S, S. |
| Then we put u sound as in 에스 (eseu) |
| And this one is |
| 브이 |
| (beui) |
| And we don't have V sound. |
| There's no V sound in Korean. |
| So, you pronounce it as the 브이 (beui) sound. |
| How about this? |
| This is |
| 더블유 |
| (deobeulyu) |
| And this one, X, I think you can guess now. |
| It's 엑스 (ekseu) |
| It's not X. |
| It's 엑스 (ekseu) |
| And this is |
| 지 |
| (ji) |
| However, do you remember this alphabet? |
| This is 쥐 (jwi) or 지, right? |
| So, these are confusing. |
| We don't have Z sound. |
| So, we pronounce it in a very similar way. |
| So, to avoid the confusion, |
| sometimes we also read this alphabet as |
| 제트 |
| (jeteu) |
| Okay. |
| So, don't worry, it's not so difficult. |
| But you can memorize this. |
| It's a little different from English, but pretty similar. |
