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 Pyeongyang, 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 under the reign of King Sejong. Until then, Chinese characters were used by the upper classes, and Idu letters, a kind of Chinese-based Korean character system, by the populace. The alphabet 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. A chart of the Korean alphabet follows. This is given for your information only you will not need to refer to the chart to do the Reading Lessons, as all the instruction is contained on the audio.

Vowels Vowel Romanization Sound ㅏ a a as in father ㅑ ya ya as in yacht ㅓ eo o as in song ㅕ yeo yo sound between young and 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 i as in ski 2

Vowel Combinations Vowel Romanization Sound ㅐ ae between the a in sat and the e in set ㅒ yae ye as in yeah ㅔ e e as in set ㅖ ye ye as in yes ㅘ wa wa as in wander ㅙ wae we as in wet ㅚ oe wa as in wait ㅝ weo wo as in won ㅞ we sounds like way ㅟ wi sounds like we ㅢ ui combination of oo in moon, but shorter, followed by ee in bee, but shorter 3

Consonants Consonant Romanization Sound ㄱ k between a k and a hard g ㄴ n n ㄷ t between a t and a d ㄹ r, l between an l and an r ㅁ m m ㅂ p, b between a p and a b ㅅ s, sh s; before an ee sounds more like sh ㅇ silent, ng silent at beginning of syllable; at end of syllable sounds like the ng in sing ㅈ ch, j between a j and a ch ㅊ ch ch with extra air ㅋ k k with extra air ㅌ t t with extra air ㅍ p p with extra air ㅎ h h as in hat 4

Double Consonants Consonant Romanization Sound ㄲ kk tense k / g ㄸ tt tense t / d ㅃ pp tense p / b ㅆ ss sharp s ㅉ jj tense j / ch The sounds listed in the chart are for guidance only. The sound of many letters will change depending on their position within the syllable block, whether at the beginning, middle, or end. At the end of a syllable block, many consonants will take on a hard t or k sound, regardless of the typical pronunciation of the letter. Example: ㅅ (s) + ㅜ (u) + ㅅ (s) = 숫 (suk) 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: consonant-vowel, and consonant-vowelconsonant. The way letters are arranged in a syllable block depends upon the vowel in the syllable. Vowels can be seen as being horizontal, vertical, or a combination of both. 5

Consonant - Vowel Syllables Korean syllable blocks follow four basic rules. Understanding these rules makes it easier to recognize letters in a syllable, and thereby to read Korean. Here are the rules: 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 6

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 and below. consonant vowel Example: ㅇ (silent) + ㅘ (wa) = 와 Consonant Vowel Consonant Syllables Rule 4: With three-character syllables, the arrangement of the initial consonant and vowel is the same as shown above. The final consonant is simply placed below, on the bottom. (a) Vertical vowels: consonant vowel final consonant Example: ㅎ (h) + ㅏ (a) + ㄴ (n) = 한 7

(b) Horizontal vowels: consonant vowel final consonant Example: ㅅ (s) + ㅗ (o) + ㄴ (n) = 손 (son) consonant vowel final consonant (c) Combination vowels: consonant combination vowel final consonant Example: ㅇ (silent) + ㅚ (oe) + ㄴ (n) = 왼 (wen) 8

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! The recorded portion of the reading materials for Korean 2 will be found at the end of the program. You can do the Readings when it is most convenient for you. They can be done individually after every other lesson or so, or done entirely after completing the full 30 lessons. Full instructions on how to proceed are recorded along with the Reading Lessons. 9
