| Keith: Hi and welcome back. This is our fourth installment on our video series on how to read and write Korean. My name is Keith and I am back with my lovely and beautiful co-host Seol. |
| Seol: Hi. 안녕하세요. |
| Keith: Well in our last video, we went over Korean words that had one consonant, one vowel and one consonant. What about our fourth video? |
| Seol: We will go over everything else. |
| Keith: Pretty simple, everything else. So this video should get you one step closer to learning how to read and write Korean. All right, as we mentioned before, we will be going over everything else. Syllabic blocks can consist of more than one consonant and more than one vowel and sounding these out is quite logical. So let’s go over it. First we will go over three Koreanized English words. The first word we have starts with |
| Seol: ㅋ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: And this should be pretty easy, what is this? |
| Seol: 키. |
| Keith: Okay. Next we start with |
| Seol: ㅇ and this has no sound value. |
| Keith: And this is because it’s in the first position again. Okay now we have |
| Seol: ㅜ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: Okay. Here there is two vowels here. Notice how the vowel with the long horizontal line was written on the bottom first and then the long vertical line was written second. And the sound for these two vowels are |
| Seol: ㅜ |
| Keith: And |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: If you say these two real fast, |
| Seol: ㅜ, ㅣ, ㅟ. |
| Keith: It kind of merges into one vowel. So once again, it’s |
| Seol: 위. |
| Keith: Okay. Altogether we have |
| Seol: 키위. |
| Keith: And this is kiwi. Not so difficult. Pretty much the same as in Korean. All right, let’s move on to our next word. We start with |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: And now please pay attention to the vowels we have. |
| Seol: ㅜ |
| Keith: And |
| Seol: ㅓ |
| Keith: Now |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: Three vowels. Notice once again the vowel on the bottom is written first and then the vertical vowels to the right and this sound is |
| Seol: 웨. |
| Keith: The next two are very simple. Let’s go over it real quick. First we have |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: And now we have |
| Seol: ㅌ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅓ |
| Keith: And this makes |
| Seol: 터. |
| Keith: These three syllables are |
| Seol: 웨이터. |
| Keith: It shouldn’t be too difficult. This is waiter in Korean. Our last Koreanized English word starts with |
| Seol: ㅎ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅗ |
| Keith: This is |
| Seol: 호. |
| Keith: And now we start with |
| Seol: ㅌ |
| Keith: And now the vowel |
| Seol: ㅓ |
| Keith: And now we have another vowel |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: This sound is |
| Seol: ㅔ |
| Keith: And we finish with |
| Seol: ㄹ |
| Keith: On the bottom. Okay here it’s |
| Seol: 텔. |
| Keith: Altogether we have |
| Seol: 호텔. |
| Keith: And this is simply hotel. Now for our Korean words, we start with |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: And now start from the bottom with |
| Seol: ㅗ |
| Keith: And now to the right |
| Seol: ㅏ |
| Keith: These two make the sound |
| Seol: ㅗ, ㅏ, ㅘ |
| Keith: And now we end with |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: Which has a ng like sound when it’s in the last position. Can you do it for us again? This syllable is |
| Seol: 왕. |
| Keith: Okay. Do you hear that ng like sound, it’s because ㅇ is in the last position. Next we have |
| Seol: ㅈ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅏ |
| Keith: And simply this is |
| Seol: 자. |
| Keith: Altogether this is |
| Seol: 왕자. |
| Keith: Which is exactly what I am. |
| Seol: A prince. |
| Keith: You don’t believe me. |
| Seol: No. |
| Keith: All right, next word. Next we start with |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅗ |
| Keith: From the bottom and now we have |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: Which comes to the right. The sound these two vowels make is |
| Seol: ㅚ |
| Keith: Our next syllable starts with |
| Seol: ㄱ |
| Keith: And now we have |
| Seol: ㅕ |
| Keith: And now the vowel to the right. |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: Which makes the sound |
| Seol: ㅖ |
| Keith: Now we have |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: With |
| Seol: ㅣ |
| Keith: To the right and now |
| Seol: ㄴ |
| Keith: In the last position which makes the sound |
| Seol: 인. |
| Keith: And altogether this is |
| Seol: 외계인. |
| Keith: And this is exactly what you are, Seol. |
| Seol: No, I am not an alien. |
| Keith: Just kidding, joking, joking, joking. All right, so let’s finish it up. Our last word starts with |
| Seol: ㄱ |
| Keith: And now |
| Seol: ㅗ |
| Keith: Together this makes |
| Seol: 고. |
| Keith: Now our next syllabic block starts with the consonant |
| Seol: ㅁ |
| Keith: And now the vowel |
| Seol: ㅏ |
| Keith: To the right and this is pretty simple. |
| Seol: 마. |
| Keith: Okay lastly we have |
| Seol: ㅇ |
| Keith: And now the vowel |
| Seol: ㅜ |
| Keith: To the bottom and now to the right, the vowel |
| Seol: ㅓ |
| Keith: The sound these two make is |
| Seol: ㅜ,ㅓ, ㅝ |
| Keith: Okay altogether this is |
| Seol: 고마워. |
| Keith: You are welcome. |
| Seol: Yeah. Keith just made a bad joke again. This means thanks. |
| Keith: All right, sorry about that folks. All right, well let’s get into the review section of this video. We will have the same words we just went over but this time, you will have a few seconds before our Korean expert, Seol, over here gives you the answer. So 화이팅. |
| Seol: 화이팅! 키위, 웨이터, 호텔, 왕자, 외계인, 고마워. |
| Keith: All right folks that’s going to do it for this video. Thanks for watching our fourth installment of our how to read and write Korean series. Be sure to stop by KoreanClass101.com, leave us a post and ask us any questions if you have anything. All right, that’s going to do it. |
