The korean alphabet

So....the korean alphabet!!

Consonants:
ㄱ ㄲ ㄴ ㄷ ㄸ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅃ ㅅ ㅆ ㅇ ㅈ ㅉ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ

Vowels:
ㅏ ㅐ ㅑ ㅒ ㅓ ㅔ ㅕ ㅖ ㅗ ㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅛ ㅜ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅠ ㅡ ㅢ ㅣ

..That is the actual alphabetical order...

And now the pronunciation of the basic consonants:

ㄱ= k
ㄴ= n
ㄷ= d
ㄹ=r/l
ㅁ= m
ㅂ= b
ㅅ= s
ㅇ (the ㅇ hasn't a real definition..it changes with the vowel...i'll explain next time..)
ㅈ= j
ㅊ=ch
ㅎ= h

Next the basic vowels:

ㅣ = i
ㅏ = a
ㅓ = eo (Romanized as "eo"
but it sounds closer
to "uh" in English)
ㅡ = eu
ㅜ = u
ㅗ = o

As you can see from the first ones (ㄱ ㄲ ㄴ ㄷ ㄸ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅃ ㅅ ㅆ ㅇ ㅈ ㅉ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ
ㅏ ㅐ ㅑ ㅒ ㅓ ㅔ ㅕ ㅖ ㅗ ㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅛ ㅜ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅠ ㅡ ㅢ ㅣ) there are more than i wrote in the pronunciation-'line'. I just wrote the basics
It is like...(for example)
1.ㄱ is with the 'double' ㄲ
2.ㅕ is with the 'double' ㅖ.

I didn't wrote the 'doubles' because they are too complicated for now to explain and to understand.

But the 'double' isn't possible for all. (for example there isn't a 'double' for ㅊ.)

There is no perfect way to represent the Korean sounds in English.
(For example, you will often see "K" and "G" being used to represent the Korean letter "ㄱ."

I hope you understand it until now...i know that the korean alphabet is difficult but if you revise it little it is easy ><

If you have the feeling that you didn't understand it then you can message me and i'll try to explain and help you- as i said: i won't bite ;)

The next one should be how to build a 'word' which isn't exactly a word- ....'a symbol'
I mean for example... 숨 (breathe/Shum)
