Korean Hangul #2- Alphabet

[12012channel]

I am confused why does the ja look like katakana for su when handwritten but looks totally different in white?

[12012channel]

@12012channel also when handwritten does the top line for ha have a slant or is that because the mouse?

[shinjimyluv321]

thank you so much!! i'm finally learning how to say them better and i was wondering when you put "ka" and "ja" together, does it mean to like "go" or "leave" or something? I hear my mom say it all the time and i wondered if that's how it's spelled.

[ParisHilton1982]

Im half korean and wanna learn this on my own. beside all my learning books at home your vids are great to learn. thank you very much for your effort.

[caicaizi11]

you forgot "pa" sound T.T

[carolethecatlover]

Thank you. I want to learn Hangul as a writing system. Supposed to be much more logical than the roman alphabet.

[IvoryKeysx]

whenever he says "now what is this?" i say it out loud and my mom looks at me weird

[maddcat0]

he skipped "pa" except when he went over all of them at once

[blackrose00190]

thanks for your vids they're so much help!!! :) anyway at the end when I'm repeating all of them I just remember the little girl from Can you hear my heart tv-drama, she exactly do the same thing :D

[VargasAriiana]

you forgot to explain the one next to "TA"

[BKW144]

@VargasAriiana u mean the pa  the 1 tht looks lik a roman # 2 yeah he did forget but its ok just pay attention at the end

[melonowy20sorbet]

this man is a genius ♥

now i know all the consonants, THANKS !

[thanuroxy]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCHH TZZ REALLY HELP FULL TO MEEE

THANKS ONCE AGAIN

[sgal88]

How many vids are there just pertaining to the Korean alphabet?

[TokioHotel220]

oppa! you never showed us pa! you just had it up in the alphebet line up at the end i was slightly confused

[tokee1234567]

@TokioHotel220 you shouldn't be calling him oppa....

[blackrose00190]

@TokioHotel220 Not oppa but sun saeng-nim :) (hope write it correctly :3)

[23SHINeeFan]

You make it so much easier for me to learn! thank you sooooo very much

[23SHINeeFan]

this is sooo helpful

[alkoreah]

Thanks alots

[nemax1]

Thank you so much for these videos! I'm so happy I found them. I have some problem with some pronounciation. I mean I hear the differences but somehow if i speak I can't really pronounce them well . I suppose it's gonna be better with time but I'm so happy for your videos. Im going to the next lessons now :) I'm so keen on learning it and you make it easier. Thank you :)

[BFL612]

thak you, but tell me please, wtha is the difference between ga and ka?

[Gabby4you]

you didn't teach us the pa !! :(

[td520520]

it is the best.

[diazchu]

I really don't know how to write PA!!!!

I'm just a beginner...

[oOJamaisVuOo]

Oh my, I just realized how horrible romanization really is in Korean. Who came up with it? The "English spelling" doesn't match the pronounciation at all!!

Thanks so much for this! It's wonderful : )

[LuwBren]

@oOJamaisVuOo And the worst thing is that there is no "agreed" / "real" romanization so there is many ways to write one word. Like Jaejoong can be written Jejung.. That's not making learning easier at all >:'''(

[Marcy32367]

감사함니다 now i can read most hangul !!o(^▽^)o

[MRPeartreeful]

in 3.20 you forgot to put 파 so i dont know the romanization, can you tell me here please_ thank you

[tokee1234567]

@MRPeartreeful pa

[gfslight]

7:37 whats the one second to last?

[PrincessPetunia]

Will someone please tell me where 파 (Pa) fits into the alphabet? If there is a particular order.

[tokee1234567]

@PrincessPetunia ga na da ra ma ba sa ah jah cha ka ta pa ha

[PrincessPetunia]

@tokee1234567 Thank you.  ( ◠‿◠ ) I eventually figured it out from subsequent videos, but I appreciate your help!

[gel8180]

Your videos helps me learn. Thank you.

[prinz180927]

i can read korean alphabet but i having a hard time pronouncing it right 

[459miyuki]

Thank you For Teaching And Explaining 감사합니다

[chocovanillasky]

Thank you so much for this! wow. I really learned a lot. I've been doing self study and just by reading the lessons,it's quite hard. I'm so glad I found you in youtube! this feels like I'm in a real class. thank you! you're such a blessing to everyone who cannot go to a language school... May God bless you more! :D

[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.

[JasperLover4eve]

Can any one say the constanants as fast as him? I can't. I guess I should watch it a couple of times... :/

[iluvmyworld13]

do you know that I am learning, thank you so much :)

[dghaedi]

I'm a Persian and im used to to my language so this is a little bit hard

[sarah32138]

Thanks so much for these videos I'm learning so much...Keep up the awesome job!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@sarah32138 Thank you and Please go ahead and finish to the final video of Korean alphabet. I am sure you will have all pronunciation questions but it is really important to finish up to the final episode first^__^. and then we can discuss further if necessary^__^.

[imdadvertising]

thanks so much i so happy this videos im learning thanks agean

[stoutcookie]

I am grateful for these lesson I can play over and over again. Because of my health I am unable to take a class outside my home so this is the next best thing and I really like the patience of the instructor.

[Frenchelle004]

Wow! Thank you very much for this! I'M LEARNING! :)

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@Frenchelle004 That's great!!! Please continue and finish all the Korean alphabet videos^__^.

[st1a16]

Sorry. but i don't see the diference between "cha" and "ja" it sound for me like cha cha (dance) and also between "ka" and "ga", it also sounds like ka ka.... it makes me really angry and sad :(

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@st1a16 Please don't be sad yet^__^. Probably 80% of the confusion is my fault. I wouldn't worry about the pronunciation difference at this point. So, please go ahead and finish all the alphabet lessons. Then you can take a look at "Ga vs. Ka vs. KKa in Korean" video and other videos in "Korean alphabet leftover" playlist.

[st1a16]

@BusyAtomdotcom Thank you for good words, i'll do my best and keep working :) :)

[carmenph]

@st1a16 you can read "ja" as "tsa" to differentiate from "cha"

for "ga" read it as "ka" and "ka" should be read as "kah"

is this right, @busyatomdotcom ?

hope this helps. KAMSAHAMNIDA, BUSYATOM! Fighting!

[tokee1234567]

@carmenph If you are an english speaker.... it's more like a J sound really, rather than Tsa... Koreans have a different letter for that..

ga is read as ga. it can sound like Ka it's really an aspirated sound (very soft K sound or slightly stressed G sound)

and as I know for English Ka and Kah sound exactly the same. AH makes the A sound anyways

[Frostystraidlazed]

@st1a16 as a Finn, I hear these distinctions and I think ㅈㅏ sounds like how we would say "tsa" and ㅊㅏ sounds more like the "cha" you mentioned.

[st1a16]

@Frostystraidlazed Thank you for your help :) heh for this, if you try someday polish, i'll be the first who help you in this :D bye:*

[kimvunny]

@st1a16 I believe "cha" has a higher pitch "a" sound and "ja" has a softer pitch "a"...i hoped that helped

[tokee1234567]

@kimvunny korean is not a tonal/pitch based language like chinese/vietnamese.... each person speaking will affect their tone of speech. it's like english

[jwmcmac]

I think that both the 1st and this 2nd set of vowels, if you put an 'H' in the right place in the amercanization . . would make the sounds make more sense.

Ca or Cah becomes Kha , Ja or Jah becomes jha , pah/bah becomes pha or bha , Tah/Dah becomes Tha or Dha . . by just adding in the 'H' sound with a little more breath outward as you say it . . to me . . this seems to be the difference . . otherwise there being no difference for us Americans. We need some difference to think about.

GBYandUall

[jwmcmac]

For the 'sah' sound . . . it always sounds like you have said 'tah' instead of 'sah'

Why?

Thanks for these great videos. Kamsahamnida. GOD Bless you and us all.

[tokee1234567]

@jwmcmac because it just sounds like that... that's all the explanation I can give you. maybe it's because Korean just sounds so different from your language. But it's really an S sound

[Music4211215]

Thanks for the video!! It's great!!

[CelestineIam]

Just a question, do we write the one that is put up on the video or should we write the hangul just like the way you wrote it on the screen?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@CelestineIam Oh, my hand writing is really really really bad, so certainly don't follow my style^__^. I have always wanted to write like one that in video (printed font) so i guess, my answer is the Printed version is my ultimate goal^__^.

[CelestineIam]

@BusyAtomdotcom Sorry for the late reply. Thank you! So all koreans wrote like this printed font version?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@CelestineIam About writing...No, No, No! Only the chosen ones will write like the printed versions (in their own fonts)^__^. For example, I am a Korean but I don't write like printed version at all - not the chosen one^__^. Typically adult hand writing is more like English script - almost one stroke for one syllable. Please Search "korean handwriting" in google (image), you will see some good and bad examples

[CelestineIam]

@BusyAtomdotcom Oh gawd, it sound complicated, do people write printed version too? Do most korean follow the writing like yours?

[tokee1234567]

@CelestineIam most korean write slightly a cursive form... doing the printed form takes quite a bit of time seeing as there are so many angled corners. it's not complicated but most kids will write printed version

[CelestineIam]

@tokee1234567 Is there any difference between cursive form and printed form ?

If there is which one is more common?

[tokee1234567]

@CelestineIam like I said kids write printed but after middle school most Koreans write cursive. it depends on how the person choose to write it so there's no specific style, but basically all the angles get rounder or smoother.

[admiremequietly]

you forgot the --->Pa before the "Ha" in the beginning, it appears in the end but not in the explanation (?)

[soooBeastXD]

thank you :)

[DarkMangaIza]

You know, I really find korean A LOT easier than japanese! ^^" I already learned the consonants in 40 min while I "tried" to learn hiragana and katakana for weeks, with no result... Go korean and SHINee!

[tokee1234567]

@DarkMangaIza korean is one of the easiest languages to read in the world because of the "hangeul" letter system. good to see that you're learning well

[097392]

khamsamida :)

[liegjepiet]

You're the best TEACHER ever!!

You're my favorite teacher thank you very much!!

[maulinda1996]

@liegjepiet what is the sound of a word that is behind number two

[4evershandy]

how about some korean sentences?

[mcrjen12]

great teacher T.T

[maulinda1996]

@mcrjen12 what is the sound of a word that is behind number two

[angrybumblebee357]

When you say ha, I feel like your giving me that one evil laugh. lol.

[danamg1989]

WOW... tu me lo haces mas sencillo de aprender. gracias.

[Paranutful]

U r a genius teacher Thanxxxxxxx

[nadmc]

Why the written letters are different from the way you write them. For example: 'Cha' and 'Ha.'

[tokee1234567]

@nadmc ???? written letters look exactly like they're written. can you change your question so we can understand what you're wondering about?

[xRacquellx]

Sir..(god i feel lyk i'm school again lol) erm..why dot the letters change slightly when you write them, in comparsion to when they are typed on the computer??

[tokee1234567]

@xRacquellx the bottom consonants are squished because you're trying to fit them all in one teensy little space when you write them on paper

[xRacquellx]

@tokee1234567 Oh is that why? thnks ! :))

[edaly93]

@xRacquellx just think of letters in our alphabet - we do the same thing. for example not everyone writes their a's or y's the same ^^ and not many people's hand writing looks exactly like what we see on the internet

[TheLoveableeme]

This kinda reminds me of arabic.. i took it as a child and the "Ha" and "ta" remind me of it..same tounge kinda

[ALST15]

thanks a lot!!! :-)

[ryuganeddie]

Thanks Im learning korean here in my country, and this helps me to catch up. :)

[PockoPedroRetardz]

Thank You Soo Much!.. I'm Moving To Korea Very Soon and This Was Helpful

[RVASProductions]

KaNaTaRaMaPa

SaAhChaKaTaHa

Wow.

[tokee1234567]

@RVASProductions

it's Ga, Na, Da, Ra, Ma, Ba, Sa, Ah, Ja, Cha, Ka, Ta, Pa, Ha

[strawberryskittleful]

thank you so much! this has helped me more than you think it has!! im currently in my last year of middle school and i want to be a teacher and teach english in korea and japan, etc....i needed to learn the language so much!! thank you

[SheepOfD00M]

So wait... in the first video you there was a letter spelled "g" put you pronounced it "k". There are other examples in this video of similar things, but i wont list them because you probably know what they are. Whats the difference in pronouncing them?

[ALST15]

could you please tell me where are you from ? your videos really help me to learn the korean language step by step..i will visit korea in a few years and i wonder if you could inform me about how much time it takes until i can speak korean and of course to understand a talking person...i would really appreciate your information.( excuse my english)

[tokee1234567]

@ALST15 um Busyatomdotcom is a Korean. no foreigners so far can teach Korean like this with such authentic accent. If you're wondering about speaking Korean, that would take some time. if you're in Korea, it might be easier, and it will take at least 2-3 years minimum, or a year if you're really surrounded by Koreans to understand and speak well to ppl in your school perhaps

[tokee1234567]

@SheepOfD00M it's more like G... it's an aspirated K which means it will sound like it's G or K. Korea has its own letter for K which is ㅋ, so ㄱ cannot be a K. with certain vowels it will sound more like K than a G but you shouldn't pronounce it so strongly because ppl can get confused with the actual K sound.

[Edis]

loves this! I'm studying Hangul now but I can't understand my teacher. Thanks to this! :D

[ceme411]

Jah is saying cha but as soon as the "ch" comes out, drop your chin and open mouth.

Cha is made using cleanched teeth for the "ch"

Kah is having the "k" come from the stomach

If you sing Twinkle, Twinkle, little star using the letters in the order he provided and the hints I gave you, you can hear the differences.

[ceme411]

Gah is like saying the "c" in car

Kah is saying the "k" sound using your stomach muscles

Dah is saying the "t" sound but your tongue is placed in the back half of your mouth

Tah is having your tongue placed right on or behind your teeth

Lah is saying ra but you add the "l" and roll your tongue. Llra

Bah is saying pa but frowning when you do it

Pah is having the "p" come from your stomach

[vanderwoodsen90]

@ceme411 i still don't get lah and bah. :(

[tokee1234567]

@vanderwoodsen90 you just wrote it. the L sound for Korean is actually R/L. it depends on what vowel you pair the consonant ㄹ with. with bah it's like a soft P. your lips hardly touch each other as you say it

[PrincessPetunia]

@ceme411  Thank you!!! You must make videos and demonstrate this in detail!!!!! Please please please!!!

It is soooo stinking difficult to distinguish the differences between the sounds. I never thought the "Art Dealers" (Noonie) sketches on Saturday Night Live were funny.... til I started learning Korean!

I think everyone who makes fun of Asian accents should have to learn to SPEAK an Asian language!

( ◠‿◠ )

[LoserlyCool]

I find it hard to pronounce 라, 자, 차 (Both sound like "C" though one with "H").

[SexyKehoe]

what's this?======>>[박물관(bak mul gwan) → 방물관(bang mul gwan) ]

why have to change the writing way?will the meaning stil be the same?

u helped a lot!thanks..but i think i need to speak wit korean..real communication!gotta find some korean friends in my college and ask them to teach me..THANKS AGAIN!!

[tokee1234567]

@SexyKehoe it's still spelled 박물관. what do you mean changing the writing way? it might sound like 방물관 b/c if you say it fast the ㄱ sound kind of gets softer.

[SexyKehoe]

@tokee1234567 the writing way that i meant was from ㄱ to ㅇ..and why the pronounciation be different?so both aslo correct?the meaning stil the same??

[tokee1234567]

@SexyKehoe pronunciation is different b/c when you're trying to say the word fast sounds just slur together. try saying the individual letters of 박물관 as fast as you can.. it will soon sound like 방물관 no matter how hard you try.

and yes 방물관 may be what the word sounds like but it's not how it is spelled. Important thing is if you spell it like that ppl will automatically assume you've made a spelling error.. the word 방물관 doesn't exist as Korean vocabulary

[SexyKehoe]

@tokee1234567 so 방물관 is the official one instead of 박물관 ?then why 박물관 stil exist??방물관does not exist as Korean vocabulary?no meaning for this?opps can u give me any othe examples?with the pronounciation changes..

sry to ask so many questions..cuz i dont know korean language AT ALL!except for the "hi","thank you"..lol..

[tokee1234567]

@SexyKehoe it's 박물관 that's the official word. 방물관 isn't, so that's why it doesn't exist as a korean vocabulary

[tokee1234567]

@SexyKehoe with the pronunciation changes, I think busyatom shows it well with his other videos

[houstontakechi]

Thank you SO much for making these videos!! My girlfriend is from Korea and we've been apart for 6 months while she is there now. I'm trying to secretly learn Korean while she's gone and these have been SUCH a big help!! Still very unsure about my pronunciation... but with your help - practice practice practice! Any other tips are always appreciated! :)

[SexyKehoe]

@houstontakechi u're such a sweet lover

[porcelynn00]

I love it!! Thank u soo much!!

[kaymm]

Thank you very much for this! I got a beginners korean book out at the library that is very helpful, but it didn't come with the cd's it was supposed to come with so I needed something to begin teaching me pronounciation. Thanks!!

[silentrocker09]

thanks a lot^^

it will help me communicate with sungha jung!

[joselineya]

Ja and cha sound the same to me so ja Is like Jamaica and cha like cha cha cha???.. And is this written like thisㄱ or like he wrote it ??

[tokee1234567]

@joselineya um ㄱ is a g/k sound

ja ㅈ cha ㅊ

[geowhit88]

Man you are a life saver!!!

[nyago20]

Hello! Thank you again for all your help! I couldn't believe that free lessons on how to speak Korean would exist. I would have never been able to learn korean hangul without your videos. :o Thanks a bunch.

And now that I found out how to install the korean characters on my computer it's better than ever!

[kyrafannica]

yeah i'm really learning huh i love this video dude!!!

[kamehameha30]

i don't really understand but, why, when you write the characters, are they different than the ones that are shown sometimes? like the "ja" 자 that came up was different than the one you wrote, that looked like a katakana character: ス"ka". are they both correct anyway?

[tokee1234567]

@kamehameha30

they are both correct

[Nalauko92]

I like korean letters because they look fascinating to me. They look like...I dont know.. cryptograph

[dpr0f]

hey man ! thanks to you ! i'm only 14 years old and i want to speak korean/ hangeul language ! i really want to thanks you because i'd learn it very well ! i think your the best korean teacher in the world ! once again , thanks !

[smileys918]

Komawoyo!

[TheDreamysunshine]

자 sounds like Jar and 차 sounds like Char in "Charcoal" to me.

[tokee1234567]

@TheDreamysunshine yes that's exactly what they sound like

[Lorenzokwon]

Thanks bub! Helped a lot. Hopefully as a continue I'll be able to more easily distinguish the differences.

[edzgal917]

hi, thank of the help... i own you so much... thanks again and god bless ya!!!^_^

[edzgal917]

ahhh, this is amazing thank you so much for the lesson I've learn a lot... thanks again and god bless ya....^_^!!!

[waarrgg]

I don't know how to write the "Pa" letter D:

[leihoa]

What is the difference between Ja and Cha - I hear none :(((

[tokee1234567]

@leihoa cha is more like cha cha - there's more CH sound in it.

Ja is like Jar.. no ch sounds.. it's very subtle but you can hear it if you keep practicing

[dianahelizabeth]

chwevereee la explicacion

[BigBTOPwifey]

oooooooooh! this dude's lessons R AWESOME!!!

wowowwoow

its like in my mind-FINALLY!! 8D

none of the other videos work... on me atleast ^^"

THAAAAAAAAAANNNNNKKKKKK YOOOOOUUUUUU!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

ur awesome

nd i was wondering if anybody knows where i can get stuff like tapes or videos to extend my learning?

plz tell me if u do

north america

[lany68]

감사합니다.

[KyoneChan]

Your lessons are great~ Thanks to you I was able to learn this really quickly ^_^ Thank chuu~~ :3

[gromithkst]

Somehow I use Chinese wordings to memorize and it becomes a different world!!!

[XOshakiraOX]

Did you miss Pah? I feel like you went from Ta to Ha. =P

[tim10m]

Thanks for the videos... I always wanted to learn the korean language and this gave me a perfect start... your teaching was good... funny & interesting... hope you'll have more videos for us...

[kellysa111]

자 sounds like "tcha" for me

[loveuloveful]

Sorry but u forgot... pp or the Pah... The second to last consonants..

[tokee1234567]

@loveuloveful I think he's covering basic consonants first. the ㅃ is covered in his other videos

[loveuloveful]

@tokee1234567

i know , but he cover the ㄲ,ㄸ, ㅆ, and ㅉ

and forgot about ㅃ

[tokee1234567]

@loveuloveful oh. yea he must have forgotten about it but he covers stressed consonants separately in his other vids too

[loveuloveful]

@tokee1234567 oh... forreals... okies.. so are u good in korean???

[tokee1234567]

@loveuloveful well I'm korean and I still speak the language pretty well and read fine

[loveuloveful]

@tokee1234567 REally.. wow~! LUCKY!.. well do u noe some tips on how to talk in korean????

[tokee1234567]

@loveuloveful um...speaking in korean's very hard unless you know koreans personally... when you're in college, I suggest do a study abroad to Korea to study in a korean university for a couple of months. But you need to know koreans. Befriend some korean couples at shops where they're not too busy, that's also a good way

[loveuloveful]

@tokee1234567 oh... i c.. wow.. well i'll try.. when i go to college... thanks by the way..

your pretty nice... so do u think there's any books in North America that can help me learn some korean???

[tokee1234567]

@loveuloveful if you go to the bookstores that sell university textbooks, if that university has korean classes, you could get nice exercise books that way (but could be expensive)

Canada (esp vancouver) has a lot of korean markets where they have a whole pile of korean kids' books... the libraries also have korean children's books too but the US kinda sucks and they don't have those kinds of thingsonline wise, I heard that Rosetta Stone was okay

[loveuloveful]

@tokee1234567 so do you know any websites that sells those kind of books then??? if u do can you tell me???

[kimita483]

thnks for all!

gracias por todo i speak espanish and this videos it great!

gracias!! me sirve muchisimo!

voi a clases e coreano y con esto es mas facil aprender!

[violetacomillas]

thanks. im gonna keep on listening to these on my phone

[Ergi93MCPMU]

but i dont understand that DA is similar with that TA...

[lamilami1]

kamsamnidaaaa againn <3

im little confused cause shinee => 샤이니 sounds like jayinee but they prounouced SHINEE so i would write it like => 차 니

for 슈퍼주니어 it s pronouced shouper juni-or but they write (shou) 슈 instead of 츄 and for the - PER why did they write it 퍼 cause i would write it like 퍼 펄

for -or they pronouced= >O-YE-R write it => 어 but i would write it 얼

so super junior is writen => 슈퍼주니어 but i would write it from what i learned til now =>츄 퍼 펄주니얼

what are my mistakes? thanks 뱩억 times

[tokee1234567]

@lamilami1 샤이니 is sha-EE-nee so yea that is right. 챠니 is chanee.. 츄 is chu (ㅊ = ch) and they use 퍼 over 펄 b/c it does matter how the letter looks and when you say it doesn't sound smooth but blocky. the same with 얼..and plus 얼UL doesn't sound like the "or" in junior

츄펄주니얼 (chu pul ju ni ul) it doesn't sound smooth nor close to the original pronounciation... (뱩억 ->백억)

[lamilami1]

@tokee1234567 thannks a llllooot now that i'm learnin more i realized that it doesn't even sound like junior rather than juniul xD so yes :D but for the i used ㅊfor the s in super because they pronouced = chuper i think koreans pronouce the ch sound more than the "s" sound just like the f it's more an p an r it s an r/l sound xD

againe thank u for ur comment =)

[curlyqk]

the pointing really confused me at times but thanks soo much for this!
