Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 7 Listen to your instructor pronounce the Korean alphabet and write it on a scratch piece of paper. Tip of the Day Calligraphy ( 붓글씨 ). In Korea, writing characters with traditional brush and ink stick has been considered an important form of art.. Three Rules in Writing the Korean Alphabet Each Korean symbol is made up of a definite number of strokes written in a prescribed sequence called "stroke order". It is important to write symbols in the correct stroke order. Observe the following general rules: Rule 1 Rule 2 Rule 3 The symbol for a consonant, which begins a syllable, must be written before the vowel symbol. For example, ㅇ before ㅏ to form 아. The movement of each stroke must be from LEFT to RIGHT or TOP to BOTTOM. If a symbol involves more than one stroke (like ㅏ or ㅗ ), the movement should again be LEFT to RIGHT ( ㅣ and then ㅡ to form ㅏ ) or TOP to BOTTOM ( ㅣ and then ㅡ to form ㅗ ). 7
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Alphabetical Order (Dictionary Sequence) The ability to use a dictionary is fundamental in the language learning process. Without this skill students will not be able to expand their vocabulary and learn the definitions of new words. This section is designed to assist you in the development of this skill. The following table shows the alphabetical order or dictionary sequence of Korean syllables. First, arrange the words according to the consonant sequence. Then, if two words or more begin with the same consonant, arrange them in proper vowel order.

Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Eight Simple Vowels The following notes on vowel sounds are given as a memory aid. The corresponding English sounds are only approximations. None of the Korean vowels sound exactly like their English counterparts. Korean vowels Equivalent English Examples ㅏ as in father 아이, 나 ㅓ as in sun 어머니, 너 ㅗ as in often 고기, 모자 ㅜ as in mood 누나, 구두 ㅡ as in written 그러나, 크기 ㅣ as in ink 비, 지도 ㅐ as in apple 개, 배 ㅔ as in egg 그네, 네거리 These are four Korean vowels that are similar to English. Look at the written symbols for the following 4 vowels. Repeat their sounds after the instructor, while writing the vowels on a piece of scratch paper. ㅏㅗㅜㅣ In addition, these are four Korean vowels that are different from English. Look at the written symbols for the following 4 vowels. Repeat their sounds after the instructor, while writing the vowels on a piece of scratch paper. ㅓㅡㅐㅔ 11
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I W-Vowels (Six vowels are pronounced with a "w" sound) Six Korean vowel sounds, 와, 왜, 외, 워, 웨 and 위, are created by adding the "w" sound to the six basic vowel sounds: 아, 애, 오, 어, 에, and 이 respectively. The following six categories are examples. Listen to the instructor as the vowels are reviewed with their English equivalents. After you become familiar with the sounds, practice with a classmate. W-Vowels Equivalent English Examples 와 as in why 좌측, 과자 왜 as in wagon 돼지, 왜가리 외 as in whey 쇠고기, 회화 워 as in water 원수, 권투 웨 as in wedding 웨이터, 궤도 위 as in we 귀, 쥐 Y-Vowels (six vowels are influenced by the "y" sound) Six Korean vowel sounds, 야, 여, 요, 유, 얘, and 예, are created by adding the "y" sound to the six basic vowel sounds: 아, 어, 오, 우, 애, and 에 respectively. The following table shows six examples. Listen to the instructor as the vowels are reviewed with their equivalent English. After you become familiar with the sounds, practice with a classmate. Y Vowels Equivalent English Examples 아 야 as in yard 야구, 야자 어 여 as in yearn 여자, 여우 오 요 as in yo-yo 교사, 묘지 우 유 as in you 우유, 유리 애 얘 as in yankee 얘야, 얘기 에 예 as in yes 예의, 시계 12
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Vertical and Horizontal Vowels Korean symbols are written in syllable groupings. The simplest syllable is written with one consonant and one vowel. There are two types of arrangements for vowels when they are attached to consonants. Some of the vowels form side-by-side arrangements, and the others form top-to-bottom arrangements. Listen to the instructor as the vowels are reviewed with their equivalent English. After you become familiar with the sounds, practice with a classmate. (1) Vertical Vowels (Side-by-Side Arrangements) Consonant Vowel Vertical Vowels ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅣ Example 가샤어져비 (2) Horizontal Vowels (Top-to-Bottom Arrangements) Consonant Vowel Horizontal Vowels ㅗㅛㅜㅠㅡ Example 모교주유츠 Note: 1. Each part of the syllable should be equally divided between two smaller squares. 2. Each part of the syllable should be about the same size. 13

(1) 아 (2) 어 (3) 오 (4) 우 (5) 애 (6) 에 Exercise 19 Practice pronouncing the following words that contain "y" vowels. 야구우유교사여자예의가야수여유리 Exercise 20 The class will be divided into pairs. When one person pronounces the six vowels, 아, 어, 오, 우, 애, and 에, the other will change each of them into the "y" diphthong vowels. Take turns and continue. Exercise 21 The class will be divided into two groups, a "w" diphthong group and a "y" diphthong group. The instructor will pronounce a list of syllables. When the instructor pronounces a syllable with a "w" diphthong vowel, the "w" diphthong group will write the syllable. When the instructor pronounces a syllable with a "y" diphthong vowel, the "y" diphthong group will write the syllable. The students should work as a group. 16
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 22 The class will be divided into a few groups depending on the number of students. Each group will have a set of consonant cards and vowel cards placed on the table. After a member in each group pronounces a syllable sound, the other students will find and arrange both consonant and vowel cards to make the letter. The ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, and ㅣ cards should be placed at the right side of the consonant, and the ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ, and ㅡ cards should be placed at the top of the consonant. Exercise 23 When combining consonants and vowels, some of them are arranged side-by-side and others are arranged from top-to-bottom. Combine the following consonants and vowels to make each syllable sound. Practice pronouncing them with a classmate. (1) ㄱ + ㅜ (2) ㅅ + ㅓ (3) ㅁ + ㅣ (4) ㅎ + ㅗ (5) ㄷ + ㅏ (6) ㅇ + ㅔ (7) ㅋ + ㅡ Tip of the Day Korean consonants sound differently depending on where they are placed in a syllable. It is important to listen to the same consonant sound in different places to become familiar with it. 17
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Consonants There are 19 Korean consonants. Repeat the sounds after your instructor. Basic Consonants ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂㅅㅇㅈ ㅊㅋㅌㅍㅎ Glottalized Consonants ㄲㄸㅃㅆㅉ Consonant Sounds Most of the Korean consonants are pronounced differently, depending on their position in a syllable. Usually, voiceless consonants become voiced and softer between vowel sounds. Use the following table as a reference. 18

Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Non-Aspirated Consonants Non-Aspirated Initial Position Final Position Consonants English Example English Example ㄱ goat 가구 bag 국 ㄴ nose 너 none 눈 ㄷ dog 돈 bed 곧 ㄹ lesson 레슨 shell 길 ㅁ mouth 미국 come 마음 ㅂ bake 발 Bob 입 ㅅ soft 소리 hose 셋 ㅇ orange 오렌지 Oreo 방 ㅈ George 자리 garage 맞 Consonant " ㅇ " The consonant " ㅇ " is used in 2 different ways in Korean syllables. When " ㅇ " is placed at the beginning of the syllable, it is silent and you will only hear the following vowel sound. When " ㅇ " is placed at the bottom of the syllable, it is pronounced as "-ng" in "king". You will see examples of the two different sound usages in the following table. 20
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script " ㅇ " position Sound Example When "o" is placed at the beginning of the syllable (Silent) ㅇ + ㅏ 아 ㅇ + ㅜ + ㄴ ㅇ + ㅣ + ㅁ 운 임 When "o" is placed at the end of the syllable ㅇ ㅈ + ㅗ + ㅇ ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ ㅇ + ㅡ + ㅇ 종 강 응 Word Formation When you combine more than two characters to make a word, place the first two characters next to one another and the last character below them. Aspirated Consonants There are consonants in Korean that, like the English p, t, ch, and k, are accompanied by a strong puff of air. These Korean consonants are referred to as "aspirated" consonants. The symbols for them are modifications of the symbols for unaspirated consonants. Aspirated Consonants Initial and Between Vowels Final English Example Example ㅊ church 책 돛 ㅋ cook 칼 동녘 ㅌ table 태극기 밭 ㅍ paper 포도 앞 ㅎ hat 하나 - 21
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Exceptional Use of " ㅎ " The following are examples of exceptions to the rules. 1. ㅎ is pronounced as the h in "hat" when placed at the beginning of the syllable. 2. Sounds are silent, as in "Sarah", when followed by a vowel ( 좋아요, 놓으세요 ). Double Consonants The "double" consonants are pronounced by holding your mouth tense and then suddenly releasing the sound without aspiration (that is, without a puff of air accompanying it). Listen to your instructor pronounce the following double consonants with the vowel ㅏ : 까, 따, 싸, 빠, and 짜. There are no consonants at the beginning of an English word that are pronounced like the Korean "double" consonants. However, when t, p, and k follow an s, they do not have aspiration and, therefore, sound similar to the Korean "double" consonants ㄲ, ㄸ, and ㅃ. Listen to the instructor for the k, t, and p in "sky" ( 까 ), "style" ( 따 ), and "spy" ( 빠 ). Now listen to the Korean 까, 따, and 빠. Double Consonants English Example ㄲ sky 꿀 ㄸ style 딸 ㅃ spoon 오빠 ㅆ hiss ㅉ - 동쪽 22
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 24 Copy the nine basic consonants in the space below, as you pronounce them. ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂㅅㅇㅈ Exercise 25 Copy the five basic aspirated consonants in the space below, as you pronounce them. ㅊㅋㅌㅍㅎ Exercise 26 Copy the five glottalized consonants in the space below, as you pronounce them. ㄲㄸㅃㅆㅉ Exercise 27 Listen to the following syllables as they are pronounced by the instructor. Then, practice writing the syllables below. (1) 머, 이, 타, 해, 도 (2) 하나, 주소, 구타, 오후, 준비 (3) 잔, 밥, 맛, 엌, 국 (4) 차, 노래, 고기, 배 (5) 코끼리, 손, 조개, 바다, 문 23
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Exercise 28 Listen and repeat the following Korean words after the instructor. (1) 가구, 돈, 발, 소리, 아내, 자리, 너 (2) 눈, 길, 입, 셋, 방, 마음, 곧 Exercise 29 The instructor will write down on the board two words that have similar, but not exact, consonant pronunciations. Then, the class will be divided into a few groups depending on the number of students. While the instructor pronounces a word in each pair, a member of each group will say the word that was just pronounced. The group that picks the correct word the most times wins the contest. Exercise 30 Combine the following consonants and vowels to create syllables. (1) ㅇ + ㅓ (2) ㅇ + ㅡ + ㅇ (3) ㄱ + ㅗ + ㅇ (4) ㅂ + ㅏ + ㅇ 24
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 31 Listen and repeat the following Korean words after the instructor. (1) 총, 키, 타조, 파란색, 하늘 (2) 및, 부엌, 밭, 앞 (3) 좋아요, 놓으세요 Exercise 32 The class will be divided into two groups. When the instructor pronounces a list of syllables, the members of one group will raise their hands for the aspirated consonants ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, and ㅍ, and those of the other group will raise their hands for the nonaspirated consonants ㅈ, ㄱ, ㄷ, and ㅂ. The person who fails to raise his/her hand when he/she should will be kicked out of the group. The group that has the more people at the end of the game, wins the contest. Exercise 33 Listen and repeat the following Korean words after the instructor. 껌, 꿈, 땀, 따로, 뺨, 씨, 싸우다, 서쪽 25
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Exercise 34 The class will be divided into two groups. When the instructor pronounces a list of syllables, the members of one group will raise their hands for the glottalized consonants ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, and ㅉ, and those of the other group will raise their hands for the nonglottalized consonants ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ, and ㅈ. The person who fails to raise his/her hand when he or she should will be kicked out of the group. The group that has the most people at the end of the game wins the contest. Recognize Loaned Words What do you call a vehicle that you flag down in the street and ask its driver to take you to your choice of destinations for a nominal fee? A 택시 (taxi)! Unlike many countries that use the English alphabet, Korean and English do not share any cognates. Instead, Korean has many loaned words that come directly from English. Although many of these loaned words might sound a bit different from what you are used to, if you can recognize these words, you just might already know 10% of the Korean language. The following is an example of commonly used loaned words in Korea. The corresponding English sounds are only approximations. None of the Korean vowels sound exactly like their English counterparts.

Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 35 With the help of your instructor, try to come up with as many loaned words as you possibly can. Practice writing and pronouncing them. Tip Tip of of the Day day This picture shows the original text of Hun Min Chong Um, which was King Sejong's promulgation of the Korean script, Hangul, invented in 1446. Change of Sound in Syllable-Final Consonants Placed at the end of a syllable, a consonant may sound differently than it does at the beginning of a syllable. Listen to the instructor pronounce the following words. 막곧법갓낮 ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ and ㅈ in syllable-final positions are not released. What does "releasing" mean? When pronouncing words such as tip, book, and but, you end the words with closure in the mouth. This closure may then (1) open with a puff of air or (2) remain closed. You are "releasing a consonant" if a puff of air follows. If the closure in your mouth remains, the consonant is "unreleased". 27
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I You might ask, "How do you pronounce ㅅ and ㅈ without releasing air? You really can't. This means that ㅅ and ㅈ at the end of written syllables are pronounced like ㄷ. Read the syllables aloud and listen to the instructor. 곳빚곧 갓낮닫 Question: How do you know how to spell words ending in "t"? When you hear "kot", for example, there is no way of knowing by sound alone which of the three possible spellings, 곳, 곧, or 곶, is correct. Unless, of course, you already know the correct spellings of the individual words. In these examples, 곳 means "place", 곧 means soon" and 곶 means "cape". Consonant " ㅎ " When a syllable-final consonant " ㅎ " is attached with the following word, it makes the nonaspirated consonants aspirated. ㅎ + Consonant Word Pronunciation ㅎ + ㄷ = ㅌ 좋다 조타 ㅎ + ㄱ = ㅋ 이렇게 이러케 ㅎ + ㅈ = ㅊ 그렇지만 그러치만 Exercise 36 Read the syllables aloud as you write them on a piece of paper. 갑, 역, 삿, 잦, 삽, 각, 돋, 맛, 찾 28
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 37 The class will be divided into two groups. When the instructor shows a set of cards with ㄱ, ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅅ and ㅈ written on them, each member of one group will pronounce a syllable with the consonant at the beginning position, and each member of the other group will pronounce a syllable with the consonant at the final position. Exercise 38 Read the following words aloud, as you write them on a piece of paper. 문곧불강맛 빚종이감자양복언제 Exercise 39 Read the following words aloud, as you write them on a piece of paper. (1) 파랗다 (2) 노랗다 (3) 저렇지만 (4) 좋다 (5) 이렇게 (6) 그렇지만 29
Sound & Script Module 1 Lesson 1 Korean SOLT I Exercise 40 The class will be divided into two groups. When the instructor writes down a list of words with the ㅎ consonant at the syllable-final position, the members of one group will pronounce the word syllable-by-syllable without aspiration and those of the other group will pronounce the word naturally with aspiration. Making a Syllable All words in Korean are composed of syllables, which follow these basic rules: A syllable begins with a consonant. A syllable has at least one consonant and one vowel. Each syllable is written in a square box. For example, the Korean word 미국, meaning "America", consists of the following consonants and vowels. m i g u k ㄱ ㅁㅣㅜ ㄱ Three Different Kinds of Korean Syllables There are 3 different kinds of Korean syllables: (1) consonant and vowel; (2) consonant, vowel, and one more consonant at the bottom; (3) consonant, vowel, and two more consonants at the bottom. Below you will see 3 different syllable combinations and some examples. 30

There are two simple rules in pronouncing these words: 1. When placed at the bottom of the word, either the first or second consonant is pronounced (depending on the word). 돐 닭 2. When followed with a vowel, the second consonant sound migrates and is replaced by the following vowel sounds. ㄳㄵㄶㄺ 삯이앉아않다밝아 31

Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Korean Syllables The following is a table showing how Korean syllables are created. By combining consonants and vowels, you can make syllables. The first column (from top to bottom) contains consonants. The top row (from left to right) is vowels. Your instructor will pronounce the sounds. Repeat the sounds, while writing the appropriate syllables. ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ ㄱ 가 갸 거 겨 고 교 구 규 그 기 ㄴ 나 냐 너 녀 노 뇨 누 뉴 느 니 ㄷ 다 댜 더 뎌 도 됴 두 듀 드 디 ㄹ 라 랴 러 려 로 료 루 류 르 리 ㅁ 마 먀 머 며 모 묘 무 뮤 므 미 ㅂ 바 뱌 버 벼 보 뵤 부 뷰 브 비 ㅅ 사 샤 서 셔 소 쇼 수 슈 스 시 ㅇ 아 야 어 여 오 요 우 유 으 이 ㅈ 자 쟈 저 져 조 죠 주 쥬 즈 지 ㅊ 차 챠 처 쳐 초 쵸 추 츄 츠 치 ㅋ 카 캬 커 켜 코 쿄 쿠 큐 크 키 ㅌ 타 탸 터 텨 토 툐 투 튜 트 티 ㅍ 파 퍄 퍼 펴 포 표 푸 퓨 프 피 ㅎ 하 햐 허 혀 호 효 후 휴 흐 히 33

When the instructor writes down a list of words with two consonants at the syllable-final position, the members of one group will pronounce the word syllable-by-syllable and those of the other group will pronounce the word naturally with the sound migration. 34
Korean SOLT I Module 1 Lesson 1 Sound & Script Exercise 44 You have already studied the alphabetical order of consonants and vowels. Now, arrange the following groups of words in dictionary sequence. (1) 매, 난, 국, 죽 (2) 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울 (3) 고양이, 개, 사자, 동물 (4) 사과, 배, 감, 수박 (5) 감자, 무우, 당근, 오이 Exercise 45 (Group Work) The class will be divided in groups. When a member in each group pronounces a syllable, the others will look for the syllable in the table on page 33 and circle it. Take turns. Tip of of the the Day day Korea has four conspicuous seasons. The summer and winter are long and spring and fall are short. Summers are humid and hot while the winters are cold and dry. 35
