Your voice is so amazing!Daebak^^ I'm so excited that I have a choice to do this on my mac, but my system preference was accidentally deleted a year ago T.T so i can't change my keyboard setting.
@KIngThechosen1 Not a button like on the PC, but a software confingure button that allows you to switch. If purchasing a computer in Korea, they'll have both systems on the keys.
@skaterkid154 I'm not sure what you mean? If you have the 2-set Korean, then just type as you would normally and create Korean words. The layout is the same as a standard Korean keyboard.
@SantomPh what do you mean double tap? for Japanese/Chinese you type it in romanization and then find the appropriate letters. Normal standard Korean keyboard layout doesn't work that way. you can actually type in real Korean letters so there's no need for double tapping
@SantomPh same thing for mobile phones, smart phones have Korean standard keyboard layout in them and Korean cell phones have a bit of a different system, but it's all in Korean (Koreans don't use romanization in their daily life at all, they do know how it works though)
Do not use romanization if you really want to learn this language. Romanization does not reflect actual pronunciation.
My suggestion is to put in the time to learn the alphabet, the rules, use 2 set Korean on the Mac, use the keyboard viewer and set preferences for syllables, not words.
Listen to or work with a native-speaker to help you pronounce things correctly if you are not sure. If not available, use CDs and slow down QuickTime player.
hey steve, i'm about to ask a stupid question: how do you type something like '있' using mac 2 set korean keyboard? when i try to type it, it comes out as '잇ㅅ'.
you just have to memorize were to the Hangul is I mean i can type English without looking at my keyboard cause i know where the keys are. I guess the only reason i don't like doing the romanization thing is cause there are a lot of sounds in Korean that are not in English so i don't like using roman letters for korean.
@TechTalkGuy All Mac input devices here are sold with Hangeul on them, but for me, with a Western keyboard, I have to either buy an external or memorize the layout. This was a good way to learn to type in Korea using the romanization standards so I can help tourists around Seoul.
sorry but I do not like your idea of cheat... you better learn how to use Hangul,,, I did just installing the korean keyboard and that's it,,, I type Korean and English with the click of a button..
I love ur enthusiasm ^^ and it's a very useful advice plz look at this if u dont have a kr keyboard >> hessaismyname(dot)blogspot(dot)com/2010/06/my-first-step-to-mastering-korean(dot)html
This is also a problem for me! My school has a Hangul keyboard, but my laptop doesn't. They sell the stickers, but I want to be able to type in Korean letters. I like the idea of software that converts the "gamsahamnida" into Hangul, but I think that isn't great for learning the language, it's cheating (maybe, but just trying is good I guess). So my computer is a PC, and I think I would have to buy a laptop in Korea and load English windows 7 with the Korean language pack to type Hangul at home.
@stephenworldwide control panel- clock language region -change keyboard-add find korean -keyboared and select korean IME and then hit apply and your done. you should see the Language bar in the bottom right of the screen. now for using it you just have to memorize where the Hangul is so
먐 would aia oh and make sure that it says ko and hit the keyboard icon to swich from A to 가
This video reminds me of somekind of home shopping commercials! all you need to say at the end is CALL NOW 1-800 blahblah and it's only 9.99!!! with BONUS!
@Jinnyboymusic Korean is very easy! The 'problem' I think comes from all the romanization rules. For example 김밥 is romanized both as gimbap and kimbap.
@qiranger Yeah, true. I don't even know how to spell the name of the city that I come. Cuz it could be Cheonan, or Cheonahn. As far as I know the government changes the rule also often.
@GreedyBeast It's always better to learn the real keys, which is why I have a keyboard with them on... however, I've found the romanization very helpful in translating Hangeul into English for other foreigners.
I use the stickers. I found them on E-bay and they're super cheap! I have blue and yellow ones, but they come in red as well. I highly recommend them. Once you activate the character sets on your computer, the stickers make typing effortless. :D
by the way, if it's a question of effort, this just took me all of about 20-25 minutes to do, and they're on there for good. Just an idea for people who don't have this mac feature or who just want to learn to type normally in korean.
I just went to a dollar store, bought a pack of rectangular "yard-sale" price stickers, cut some to size, put them on the keyboard and wrote the letters on. My keyboard basically looks like a real "Korean" computer, and I now know where the actual letters are so that if I ever need to use another computer without this mac feature (or the stickers!), you actually know where the "real" hangeul letters are. I can now type pretty quickly even on plain keyboards. Works great for me!
i love all your vids. but i never learned romanization. the Korean alphabet only takes a few hours to learn. and typing in Korean.. i just memorized the keyboard by going to google and downloading a korean keyboard pic. :) p.s. in your info section, you have a typo... but i'm sure you know :) it's not 안년하세요 it's 안녕하세요. :)
I saw a South Korean movie two years ago, RE-CYCLE (a psychological horor movie ... liked it!). The lead chatacter, a young woman whoi was a writer, had a Mac, and she did exactly what you described here. Don't get me wrong - I really liked the movie (ithe story and the characters of the plo, and the design)... but if you ask me what fascinated me most, it were those few scenes when this writer sat at her Mac and was typing away, and the Latin syllables changed "Mac-ically" to Korean :-)))!
Lazy mac users! I just sat down and memorized the keyboard layout for a while. The D is the ㅇ, the G is the ㅎ and the K is the ㅏ. From those reference points it get's easy.
I have a picture of a Korean keyboard always on my desktop hahaha... but that romanization translation thing you mentioned sounds like something worth looking into :D
I am certain you can input Korean using Windows XP, Vista, and 7. You have to go into the language settings. I sometimes use Japanese, using a similiar process. I have a latin keyboard so have to type in Japanese using roman letters (or romaji) and it automatically types it out in Japanese, either in Kanji, Hiragana or Katakana depending on what you choose.
@Theytoldmetodoit1 yeah i use japanese too but in windows te korean layout doesn't let you type with letters...you have to either know the hangul layout by heart or buy a korean keyboard
@pskully Unfortunately, the Macs don't have the 한/영 button. I've created shortcut keys to do the same. My wife and I both have keyboards with Hangeul on them, so we can type rather than use the romanization.
When I was at school I usually used the Korean computers, so I never had to worry about that sort of thing. I got used to working in Korean with a lot of different programs.
I also found it a lot easier to text in Korean on my cell phone then in English. What's up with that? :P
You can also use "Hangeul Assistant" at the Korean Wikproject website. Just google "Hangeul Assistant" and you can find the link.
It works great even if you are using a public computer or someone else's computer that you cannot install the Korean fonts to. You can type in Hangeul simply by clicking on the Hangeul letters on its virtual (Java?) keyboard.
but i have also memoried them on my western keyboard and also, i have little key stickers that have hanguel on them.
for windows its called IME and you also go to your regional settings and languages. super simple - I've been doing it for Japanese since windows 98se.
@ktmae Didn't realize I was making it sound hard. It's the same process on a Mac. Go to the language settings and select which ones you want. Rather than having to memorize the location of the Hangeul characters, the romanization option allows one to type using Latin letters without the aid for stickers on the keys.
i have windows 7 and i am from america never been to Korea and i have Korean and Japanese on my keyboard all you do is add it to the key board .. in control panel
