Description
HAHAHA IT IS PAST MIDNIGHT AND I AM POSTING A KOREAN LESSON. Not a very good sign. Also, it's been a while (10 years, give or take) since I last recited the Korean alphabet.And yes, there is no visual appeal to this thing, I know. XD Hush. I have no creativity.

The ring Hangul is udually transliterated as “ng”, as in “king” /ŋ/.
I’m working on a more accurate Romanization system for Korean, I’ll probably upload it here later.

I found it to be easy to follow. I learned a bit, too, however, I don't know if I could really learn Korean. ^_^

^^ I'm glad that it had some semblance of coherency! And anything's possible if you try, neh? But I guess that Korean'd be more difficult than other languages because it's an Asian language, with its totally different alphabet and grammar structure. XD

Yeah, Asian languages are kinda intimidating to learn for me because of the big difference. I'd only try learning it if I had a private tutor. lol Though, the different Asian languages I've heard and seen are really beautiful. ^_^

Yeah, on top of having to learn a completely new alphabet, the grammar is very, very different, too. XD

8D Noice. <3
AHAHA mixing words in different languages is fun. I do this mostly with Korean and English but sometimes Spanish and Japanese slip out. And the occasional German. When people bump into me sometimes I scream "I'M SORRY PLEASE EXCUSE ME" in Russian. It's...quite sad. XD;;

OAO

Oh! And the characters are shaped the way your tongue/mouth is supposed to look like when you pronounce the words.

O_o I actually never understood that. Wait, seriously?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. For the consonants anyway. Like g/k sound is supposed to look like your tongue touching the top of your mouth right before you say it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O.o hmmmm. That's quite interesting.

This is AWWWWWESOME.
Just a few things you didn't cover.
The double consonants can be explained using other languages.
For example the bb sound would be the way you pronounce p in Pedro in Spanish. The jj sound is a cross between j and ch. Think about the way Pikachu pronounces "chu" when he says his own name. The tt sound is how t is pronounced in Mateo. (Think Spanish!) GG sound is how que is pronounced in Spanish. (Quesadilla, queso, and such.) The ss sound is a strong s which can be seen in English words where s is followed by a vowel. Such as sorry, see, and sell. The single s sound in Korean is softer, akin to English words were s is next to a consonant. Snake, sports, slide.
Also, for the vowels that have the same sounds. A useful thing to remember is that when you're writing foreign words in korean, they go by how the word is spelled in English. For example, the English word "family" transcribed directly in Korean would be spelled with the first "eh" sound not the second "eh" because the first "eh" is for words with a- while the second "eh" is for words with e-.

EFFFFF I FORGOT ABOUT SPANISH. Ahhh, Spanish, you save us all. <3
And I totally did not know that about the "eh"s. o__o Thanks so much~ |D I will fix this soon...yes, soon. >.> ...
