Korean Hangul #3- Syllable Construction

[DreamsofSeoul]

I'm so excited! Can't wait till I'm completely reading and writing Korean ^.^

[trishalim123]

wow you are amazing! :D u really help a lot :)

[yoonaliu26]

at 4:59 , i heard a .. seagul? listen carefully :P lol

[jhun09131980]

Thank you so much for posting this.As i go further, it confuses me about the G with the K sound and all that........

[aloha45]

These videos are so so so helpful

[dmet3412]

I have a question about the "s". I haven't seen a specific consonant that makes the "sh" sound and sometimes the "s" seems only to sound like an "s" and at other times (as in the romanized "si-hu") it seems to sound like "sh". Why is that?

Many thanks for your videos. They are very helpful. The detail and suggestions to make it easier for native English speakers to understand and are greatly appreciated.

[tokee1234567]

@dmet3412 ㅅ is really a S sound. there are complex vowels that helps you make SH sound (쉬) but really when it's 시 people romanize it to SHI but it's really like SI (mouth should not come together but lips should be pulled apart like you're showing teeth to a dentist )

[fameofvideo]

whats the chicken stew for?

[alkoreah]

Thank u

[KPOPLURVES]

I don't understand but why do we need to calculate? :/

[XxArkhamxAsylumxX]

@KPOPLURVES he was showing us with a little math how many syllables we could possibly construct with the few consonants and vowels we know at this point. 210 is quite a lot.

[td520520]

very good !!!!!



[PreciousGem891]

The random chicken stew made me giggle.Mr. teacher, you are awesome! ^___^

[albertvilleflute]

so korea only has fourteen letters in their alphabet?

[xMidoriPhantomhive]

@albertvilleflute The alphabet is made up of twenty-four letters, fourteen consonants and ten vowels.

[XoXoZaziiJonaslover]

YOU ARE THE BEST!!..thanks ALOT!..i can't believe i can actually READ hangeul now!! XD

[Rayooma88]

Thank you again for these lessons! I really like the way you explain things, you make it sound so easy  ^_^

[NormanSykes]

the guy who does this is too cool ^^

[thefujisakiclan]

감사합니다 :D

i am learning so much

i wrote this down in my notes now i can study anywhere i go

once again

감사합니다!

[katshe12]

Why does the "g" look different when it is attached to the "a" than when it is by itself?

[tokee1234567]

@katshe12 because you want to make the whole thing fit in a vertical rectangle so to speak. the consonants get squished if placed as a bottom consonant, not so much when placed with a vowel

[addhrj]

This is very helpful :D

I've learnt a lot but I just have problems pronouncing it accurately

[jwmcmac]

Even though some say different . . . the main difference, or at least a difference that makes it all work is treating the first set of vowels just as he says in the instruction and pronounce the 2nd set of vowels by adding an 'H' sound . . . which makes all of the sounds of the 2nd set come out of the stomach as well as the back of your mouth. This works very well and then you can notice that there really is a distinct difference in the two pronunciations . . . and it's correct.

[blueshavol]

Could someone help me?

I tried to write 'I understood' in Korean (arasseo).

Why isn't it 아라써 but 알았어??

[tokee1234567]

@blueshavol 알았어 is how it is spelled, but how it is pronounced is 아라써. it's because the main verb form is 알다 alda, if you know what I mean. In English you don't change EAT to "I'm Eeteeng" but you say "I'm Eating" so you're close to the main verb. Also, Korean ㅇ beginning consonant is SILENT, and they take the sound of whatever ending/bottom consonant is in the LETTER right before. So 알았 - al-at. the ㅇ takes R/L ㄹ sound so you get Arat. 았어- last ending is ㅆ ss - so ㅇ takes that sound - sseo 써

[blueshavol]

@tokee1234567 Thanks a lot, now I understand it :>

[JasperLover4eve]

How would I write my name Afsana ?

[tokee1234567]

[loleeyz5]

@TheJasmineGill, what is Hangugo? i only know hangul, and hanja. o.0plz tell.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@loleeyz5 한국어 means Korean Language (= Korean). 한국 means Korea and 어 basically means language.

[loleeyz5]

@BusyAtomdotcom, oh thnx =) your lesons help, before this i couldnt even read any of that and now i can, lol thnx i hope you keep on going, good luck to you with uploading lessons.

[lilldea]

wait o_o when everyone spells "thank you" they write it like: Kam-sa-ham-ni-da but...isn't it Kam-sa-hab-ni-ba? o_o or am I just seeing wrong here? xD

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@lilldea 감사합니다 is the way it is spelled and 감사함니다 is the way is pronounced. I wrote "not completed" article about this matter and if you are interested please search "hamnida" in forum on my main site^__^.

[touchmemove]

@lilldea it is written kam sa hab ni da...but if you pronounce it like FEELING LIKE REAL KOREAN...you should say KAM SA HAM NI dTttah...something like that..im not a propetional but i just follow how they say it..so what can i say is..just make your toungue shorter when you say words...so that we look like koreans :D

[lilldea]

@touchmemove ah someone already answered me on this though but thanks :P and it's written gam sa hab ni da :o not kam :P or well, it depends i guess...anyways :D do you learn korean too? :O(kind of obvious if you're on here...haha I feel so stupid XD) gosh I'm so freaking social right now O_O and no one to talk to! but yeah...thanks once again!

[touchmemove]

@lilldea hahah we can talk...hmmm yeah i know that about that *gam* your right..but its because i write like im talking , hehe coz korean is really different when you right and pronoung like when you right G if you say it it is somewhat GKAH or something hehe..yeah i am trying to learn this is my 4th day in studying han guk eo..should i write it han guk o? or han guk eo? i pronounce it han guk oh

[lilldea]

@touchmemove haha I havent really studied a lot T_T I want to study every day! but all this homework and other stuff come in the way so when I have time over I can't be bothered to study, not even korean T_T and I have no idea how you're supposed to write, does that mean korean? :o cause isnt the actual language called hangul? or is that just how westerners say it? :P

[tokee1234567]

@lilldea hangookmal is Korean language/speech. Hangul/Hangeul is the Korean letters.

[tokee1234567]

@tokee1234567 Hangookeo also means Korean language/speech.

[lilldea]

@tokee1234567 oh okay :o thank you for answering haha :P I still know like nothing (Y)

[lilldea]

ooooh :o!!!! now I get it XD I tihnk its oh or o, you can choose to write it with h or not? cause I see peple spell it with both all the time xD

[2hot101]

why does the first G look different from the second G??

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@2hot101 I don't know why but usually they take different shapes depending on where they are placed (initial or ending position).

[touchmemove]

@2hot101 they are not different...they are desame...its like an L that falls down haha maybe it looks different but its desame...watch more tutorials and see what do we mean*

[tAiga005]

how would you spell Rachell in korea?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@tAiga005 레이첼 will be my first guess^__^

[tAiga005]

@BusyAtomdotcom hehe 감사합니다 ^__^

[tokee1234567]

@tAiga005 if you pronounce it Ra-chelle it's 라첼

if it's ray-chel it's 레이첼.

[iLoveAnime9809]

ㄱ if it the first inital/word then it G, if it last then it K~

[MsRhogen]

its the best... i love the "ooopsss" thing...

[angrybumblebee357]

Can anyone explain the math to me? It is really confusing.

[tokee1234567]

@angrybumblebee357 it just means that by using one vowel alone, it can have more than 210 different combinations if you pair it up with the consonants you have available (it's actually more than that because there are complex consonants)

It's just to prove that Korean has a lot of different pronunciations and ways for writing.

[reereeturbo]

lol at the random chicken stew at the end :D

[maturegirl]

Question, in GAK or GAG, the first g (in the left) looks a bit different than the g on the bottom, can't they be the same?

[tokee1234567]

@maturegirl bottom consonants always looked like they're squished because back in the old days Koreans try to fit the letters into a little line when they write on paper. Now it's standard for them to look like that

[240cuttie]

Thx ^ ^

[240cuttie]

how would you spell Cristal in korea?

[tokee1234567]

@240cuttie 크리스탈. - Keu-ree-seu-tal

[Nextstopearth]

Gak sounds like cock.

[karen88clover]

You are a good teacher! I love to watch Korean drama so I decided to learn simple Korean Language and I found your videos. It's simple to learn the pronounciation from your video and easy to understand. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORT!

[soypower711]

Why are the 'Ga' and 'g' slightly different symbols?

[tokee1234567]

@soypower711 it's not. in Korean there are no upper and lower cases. it could be just a mistake that there is G and g

[soypower711]

@tokee1234567 Ok thanks haha I meant like when you write 'GA' but add another 'G' to the bottom of 'GA' how come the 'G' on the bottom looks different than the top 'G' if that makes sense

[lawrencemilton]

what is no problem there??? is no problem GA?

[KrhystalZz]

Why are the first and second G different in the way they are written? Is it because one is lower case and the other upper?

[tokee1234567]

@KrhystalZz korean don't have an upper and lower case letters.... the G sound is quite different just because the guy in the vid is trying to speak slow and clear as he can and can emphasize things differently by mistake

[KrhystalZz]

@tokee1234567 Thank you very much

[hensempig]

very nicely done! thank you so much for your video to teach us Korean! :)

**by the way, i notice you use quite a few math symbol and terms. I suppose you teach math too?**

[Stupidpal231]

Umm..About l and r

h a n g u l

the l is written alike r so is l and r kinda of the same?

[tokee1234567]

@Stupidpal231 ㄹ can sound like L or R depending on what vowel you pair the letter with. as an ending consonant it will always have the L sound

[alle144]

confetti confetti love love this explanation. nice touch with the chicken stew at the end. lol

[power5able]

well..i got to say...i get to learn much faster than i learn engglish..haha..thanks~

[zozksa10]

really intresting

[utubeaccntko]

I love the chicken stew at the end! thank you for the videos! :D

[sanbertchristianclad]

kamsa hamnida

[lyndalinda23]

u did not teach pa

[tokee1234567]

@lyndalinda23 it's 파.

[marleninuscout1]

im learning thank u i always was looking for someone to teach from the beggining thank u..

[mthemaniac]

This is the best I've ever found. i already knew a little of the alphabet but this really clears up a lot. Wow, Dak-do-ri-tang!  (Spicy Korean Stew) One of my favorite Korean dishes. Makes me want to get back to "Mama's Hot Chicken" in Songtan.

[igeapink]

What if a consonant is followed by another consonant? Should I write it beside the first consonant or at the bottom... And another, if a vowel comes first before a consonant.. How will I write it? Please answer thanks :)

[tokee1234567]

@igeapink beside the first consonant. when there are 2 consonants at the bottom, it's makes the word a totally different meaning.

ㅇ is used as a placeholder for the vowel when you are only saying the vowel sound. (since it is a silent consonant when it comes at the front, but has a -ng sound when it's at the bottom)

ex. 아자 - ah-jah

[kyrafannica]

ithink it is hard for me to learn korean but if i want to learn i will do it rigth??

i hope i can mastered all korean hangul or waht so e'er is that.

[philjersen]

thank you so much.. it really helps me alot.. though i find it hard to study because of the pronounciations...but i`ll do my best to learn...aja aja....

[iS2YOUUx3]

QUESTION. why is it when we write gag. the second g isnt how we write the first g in korean?

[tokee1234567]

@iS2YOUUx3 to fit everything in a single line, the bottom consonants are "squished" to fit the space. it's just the squished version

[chocolaterox28]

which one is the vowel again?

[tokee1234567]

@chocolaterox28 the stick looking things (with lines) are vowels. they are at the right and consonants are at the left in each letter

[majokd]

aww... you're like the best :) thanx for this :) hug!

[yahapom]

at the beginning. you didn't explain one of the vowels. its right between ta and ha. please tell me what that is. both videos you did not explain. im confused now because you explained 13 instead

[tokee1234567]

@yahapom it's Pa - 파

[waarrgg]

I think I love you :B

would you marry me?(':

[jonogunn]

This is the chicken stew I made before, ok? Thank you! haha

[dianahelizabeth]

gracias-thank

[loraan18]

can you pleace explane why and when i have to write the last g at the bottum??

[tokee1234567]

@loraan18 why?? b/c it's a letter and that's how we write korean?? I don't get what you mean. things are spelled the way it is.

[tokee1234567]

@loraan18 more formally it's a bottom consonant.

it's like how you write gag in english. why there's a g at the end of the word gag we don't know b/c we're not the ones who made the english language..???

[idkyoo]

out of all the videos on how to learn to write read and write Korean i found yours most efficient and useful! very easy and quick to learn ;D

[stellalucidus01]

Thank you!This is the bets online lesson I found for Korean.Super efficient and fun!!!!I love it

[domsago0]

your videos really helped me a lot especially in my assignment in my korean subject.. thanks for sharing it :D

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

How do you prounounce hangul?

is it like Han-goul or hangel or WTF

[tokee1234567]

@SmoothCriminalAaron

the romanization of ㅡ is eu. -> hangeul.... the eu sound is really hard for most non-korean ppl to say

hangoul would be the closest pronunciation that I can think of.

like the english word "ghoul" - the ul after the "o" sound is close to the eu sound

[coolwHip000]

Thanks for the videos! They're really helpful. And that Chicken soup at the end made me laugh, it was so random. :D

[violetacomillas]

what is your nationality?

[zyyini]

what's the difference in pronouncing Ga and Ka in the consonants??? as same for Ja and CHa???

[tokee1234567]

@zyyini it's how you just wrote it in english. ga is soft wheras ka sounds more like there's a "K" sound in it... same as cha and ja.. the difference is quite hard to hear for ppl but it's there

[Gundamlockon00]

Why is the left K drawn diferently to the bottom K? Top left K is more round and bottom K is more like a reversed L. Please let me know the difference or is just a mistake.

[tokee1234567]

@Gundamlockon00 ppl write it differently 각 you can see here that the ㄱ is flatter on the bottom... maybe b/c people try to squish all the letters into a line.. most bottom consonants look a bit flatter than the top. you kinda have to write like that if you're a student and have to cram all the letters into one straight line..

[Gundamlockon00]

@tokee1234567 Oh okay so its only for the purpose of making them fit in one line. Thank you for anwesring the question, You are winner number 99999999. I'm just kidding but thx anyways.

[lemoluv22]

Thank you for doing these videos!! It is going to make me one step ahead of the game when I take a Korean class! I hope to visit there soon and I don't want to act like a "lazy american" that doesn't want to learn other languages!!! [: Once again, thank you!!! ^-^

[cLoiRes]

thank you soo muchh

[tokee1234567]

@acahehe watch lots of korean vocab videos. it's like learning any second language. now you need to actually build up your vocabulary

[Suwandi]

Thank you so much for uploading!!!

[theblackcat6]

Is there a consonant with the "Shh" sound ?_?

[tokee1234567]

@theblackcat6 well there's 샤 which is Sha,, but there's no actual consonant that can make the shh sound. the ㅑ(ya)vowel combined with ㅅ(s) makes it sha

[thaoch]

On the word Gag...i notices a slight difference in the the two g's?? Is the first G a capital G and the last g a small g?? I don't know if Korean has uppercase and lowercase letters...thanks

[MsApril3rd]

In korean doesn't have the consonant that has the "F" sound?

[tokee1234567]

@MsApril3rd they don't have the consonant for V and F.

[christinakwanx]

whats a compound consonant? are these examples? ㅃㅉㄲㅆ ??

[BboyShinnny]

if they are like double consonant it means that you like like basically sort of exaggerating the sound of it so if it was ㅅㅅ then it owuld be like ssh not just sh and same for all the other ones like ㄷㄷ it wud be dd (DDu)

[4BittenLovers]

Kamsahamnida!

Ive watched Korean dramas for alllong time now and Ive been looking everywhere to learn how to write and read in Hangul and I never understood it. But your videos have helped me so much!!!

Do we learn how to pronounce the consonants by themselves before? or do we learn that afterward

[thcpills]

thanks, your lessons are the best!

[Lizaimi]

ive been learning korean from you alot...and now im learning how to write..from you!! hahaha....so your like my teacher sorta...the more I write its like I dont need to look anymore cause I kinda memorised some of it...only some...hopefully I get this korean things write...or all this learning would go down the drain for me..hahah

[mrwy00]

cuz of drama's i know alot of words but i want to write it to. and i alsow want to know more. so tnks for the video's

[yobo257]

anneong..seong sam nim, yr videos are the best. I learn alot..i watch the korean news and am wondering why they need to say hamida at the end of the sentence, they say so many times, does it have any meaning or only for politeness? thank you so much...

[foemaknight]

oh my god...

chae mwo dwo getsseoyo....

[d0nkeyboy]

er the B can be a combine of consonant and vowels?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

I guess you meant "Can 'ㅂ' can be combined with other vowel?"

Yes, it can be combined with any vowels but at this point of Korean alphabet video, I just did not introduced other vowels other than 'ㅏ' for some reason.

[insideimcrazy]

do we need to learn how to say the consonants by themselves before progressing? or is it okay...

[BusyAtomdotcom]

The name of the consonants will be easier (once you finish this alphabet series) - after all the names of the consonants are written in the combination of other Korean alphabet.

[TheJasmineGill]

I watch Korean Dramas, so I know some basic phrases. And I read on one of the posts, kam-sa-ham-ni-da --meaning thank you. It made me s proud to actually distinguish the characters individually! Go ME!! (= And thank you very much. Hangugo is a language that is on the rise, and many people nowadays want to learn how to speak it.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Great!!! Go YOU!!

감사합니다.

[IHeartRyeoWookie]

how would i right Zuraida / Kang Hyorin in hangul

[monmonleyco]

how would i right monsour in hangul . it's my name

[BusyAtomdotcom]

I am not sure how to pronounce your name. Could you provide some phonetic tips?

[monmonleyco]

@BusyAtomdotcom uhmm . my name monsour would be pronounced as mon-soor .

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Then, it will be:

몬수얼 (Mon-su-eol)^__^.

[monmonleyco]

@BusyAtomdotcom oh i see . but i have a question because i'm trying to learn reading and speaking korean . in my name (Mon-su-eol) . the last part . why l ? whould it still be pronounced as r in english ?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

I think it will sound close to somewhere between R and L.

[monmonleyco]

@BusyAtomdotcom ok . thank you . ^^ .
