7 Introduction Korean is the official language of both North and South Korea. It s also spoken widely in neighboring Yanbian, China. Worldwide, Korean is spoken by some 78 million people. Korean has several dialects, of which two are standard: Seoul, spoken in South Korea, and P'yongyang, spoken in North Korea. In addition, there are approximately seven regional dialects. All dialects, except that spoken on Jeju Island, are mutually intelligible. This course teaches the Seoul dialect of South Korea. The Korean Alphabet The Korean script, called Hangul, was invented in 1443 during the reign of King Sejong. Until then, Chinese characters had been used by the upper classes, and Idu letters, a kind of Chinese-based Korean character system, by the populace. The system created by King Sejong and his scholars is still in use today. The Korean alphabet is phonetic. It consists of ten vowels, eleven vowel combinations, fourteen consonants, and five double consonants. As in English, the letters of the Hangul alphabet represent individual sounds. Letters that have similar sounds also have similar shapes, making them easier to learn.

8 The Korean Alphabet (continued) A chart of the Korean alphabet is on the following pages. This is given for your information only you will not need to refer to the chart to do the Readings, as all the instruction is contained in the audio. Vowels Vowel Romanization Sound ㅏ a a as in father ㅑ ya ya as in yacht ㅓ eo aw as in awful ㅕ yeo yaw as in yawn ㅗ o o as in home ㅛ yo yo as in yoke ㅜ u u as in tune ㅠ yu yu as in you ㅡ eu u as in put ㅣ i ee as in me, sometimes i as in in 2

11 The Korean Alphabet (continued) Consonant Romanization Sound ㅈ ch, j between j and ch at the beginning; j in the middle ㅊ ch ch with extra air ㅋ k k with extra air ㅌ t t with extra air; ch before ee sound ㅍ p p with extra air ㅎ h h as in hat Double Consonants Consonant Romanization Sound ㄲ kk tense k/g, but closer to g ㄸ tt tense d/t, but closer to d ㅃ pp tense p/b, but closer to b ㅆ ss sharp s; before an ee sound, more like sh; n when last in a syllable and followed by an n sound ㅉ jj tense j / ch 5

12 The Korean Syllable korean II The Korean Syllable The basic unit of written Korean is the syllable. All Korean words can be viewed as blocks of syllables. Each syllable block is like a square of a fixed size. There are two basic syllable blocks: consonantvowel, and consonant-vowel-consonant. The way letters are arranged in a syllable block depends upon the vowel in the syllable. Vowels can be viewed as horizonal, vertical, or a combination of both. Korean syllable blocks follow four basic rules. Understanding these rules makes it easier to recognize letters in a syllable, and thereby to read Korean. The four basic rules follow. 6

13 The Korean Syllable (continued) Consonant - Vowel Syllables Rule 1: There are nine vertical vowels that stand upright. They are: ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅣㅐㅒㅔㅖ A vertical vowel is written to the right of the consonant. consonant vowel Example: ㄴ (n) + ㅏ (a) = 나 (na) Rule 2: There are five horizontal vowels. They are: ㅗㅛㅜㅠㅡ Horizontal vowels are written below the consonant. Consonant Vowel Example: ㅎ (h) + ㅗ (o) = 호 (ho) 7

14 The Korean Syllable (continued) Rule 3: There are seven combination vowels that have characteristics of both the horizontal and vertical vowels. They are: ㅚㅟㅘㅝㅙㅞㅢ With these vowels, the initial consonant is written in the upper left-hand corner of the imaginary block. The vowel then appears both to the right of and below the consonant. Consonant Vowel Example: ㅇ (silent) + ㅘ (wa) = 와 (wa) Consonant Vowel Consonant Syllables Rule 4: With three-character syllables, the arrangement of the initial consonant and vowel is the same as just shown. The final consonant is simply placed below or on the bottom. See the illustrations on the next page: 8

15 The Korean Syllable (continued) (a) Vertical vowels: Consonant Vowel Final Consonant Example: ㅎ (h) + ㅏ (a) + ㄴ (n) = 한 (han) (b) Horizontal vowels: Consonant Vowel Final Consonant Example: ㅅ (s) + ㅗ (o) + ㄴ (n) = 손 (son) (c) Combination vowels: Consonant Vowel Final Consonant Example: ㅇ (silent) + ㅚ (oe) + ㄴ (n) = 왼 (wen) 9

16 The Korean Syllable (continued) Occasionally you will see blocks of four letters; these follow the same rules as the shorter blocks. The blocks are read from left to right --- first the top row, then the bottom row. Example: ㅇ (silent) + ㅓ (eo) + ㅂ (p/b) + ㅅ (s) = 없 (eops) At first, decoding these blocks will take some practice. Therefore, we recommend that you take the Reading Lessons at your own pace, repeating each until you feel comfortable proceeding to the next. With a little effort, however, you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you are reading Korean -- and at how much fun it can be! 10

17 The Reading Lessons korean II There are eighteen Reading Lessons. The first ten Reading Lessons are a review of Level I. They will give you a solid introduction for reading Korean. In the final eight Lessons, you ll have a chance to try reading words, phrases, and sentences you have learned in the course. The recorded portion of the reading materials for Korean II is at the end of the program. You can do the Readings as is most convenient for you. They can be done individually after every other unit or so, or done entirely after completing the full thirty units. Instructions on how to proceed are recorded along with the Readings. Remember, you can repeat the lessons as often as you wish until you can read the Hangul letters with some fluency. 11
