안녕하세요 친구들!

Hello friends! Here’s my third Korean grammar lesson! Let’s learn the object particle ‘를/을’! If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message or leave a reply down below! Once again, hope you guys enjoy~

┌─          ･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦｡ﾟ.           ─┐

      L e s s o n   3  : 를/을

└─         ･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦｡ﾟ.            ─┘

A l l i   s a y s : It’s simple! All you have to add 를 after the object if the last letter of the last syllable is a voweland 을 if the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant.

Here’s some examples:

v o w e l : 저는 파스타를 좋아해요. = I like pasta (formal).

c o n s o n a n t : 저는 당신을 사랑해요 = I love you (formal).

                                         ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

V o c a b u la r y   f o r   t h i s   l e s s o n :

를 / 을 = Object particle

당신 = You (formal)*

음식 = food

파스타 = pasta

밥 = rice

좋아하다 = to like

좋다 = to be good

싫다 = to dislike

사랑하다 = to love

미워하다 = to hate

*There is no official Korean word for ‘you’ so this isn’t used often. Most Koreans remove subjects for conciseness when it is obvious who they are talking to.  저는 당신을 사랑해요 –>  사랑해요.

┌─                 ･｡ﾟ: ∘◦☾◦｡ﾟ.              ─┐

Hey guys! It’s Alli, again. Hope you guys didn’t miss me too much.

We’re going to take things a step further and learn some complex letters. These are things you’ll just have to memorize but once you learn some vocabulary and get the hang of it, you won’t forget it.

Let’s get started!

C o m p l e x   V o w e l s*

ㅐ = ae (a combination of ㅏ and ㅣ)**

ㅔ = e  (a combination of ㅓ and ㅣ)

ㅒ=yae (a combination of ㅑ and ㅣ)***

ㅖ= ye (a combination of ㅕandㅣ)

ㅢ  = wi ****

ㅚ  = wi

ㅘ = wa

ㅟ  = wi

ㅝ  = wo

ㅙ  = wae

ㅞ  = we (uncommon)

* Some of these letters are uncommon. You will almost never hear 웨, 븨, 즤, 듸, 긔, 싀, 늬 in the Korean language.

** ㅐ andㅔ both have little to no difference in pronunciation! Both sound like ‘eh’

*** ㅒandㅖboth have little to no difference in pronunciation! Both sound like ‘ye’

**** The pronunciation of ㅢ differs depending on where and how it is used.  의자 (chair) is pronounced as 의자.  나의 (my) is pronounced as 나에.

                                       ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

K o r e a n   D o u b l e   C o n s o n a n t s

The Korean double consonants are listed below:

ㄸ =  just like ㄷ but more tensed in the beginning*

ㄲ = just like ㄱ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅃ = just like ㅂ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅆ = just like ㅅ but more tensed in the beginning

ㅉ = just like ㅈ but more tensed in the beginning

*’tensed’ means that you have to put more force into saying it. Imagine you were to say “duck!” rather loudly. The hard ‘d’ sound in “duck!” is like the sound made by the Korean ㄸ.

Hey guys! Welcome to my very first post! I’m Alli and I hope I can assist you while you start learning Korean!

First off, let’s learn the basics: Hangul - The Korean Alphabet

The Korean alphabet is one of the most crucial steps toward your journey of learning Korean. Although romanization may seem like an easy shortcut for now, Koreans read Hangul, not Romanized Korean. This may seem like a difficult feat to accomplish but I promise you, it’s easy.

                                          ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════ 

K o r e a n   C o n s o n a n t s

*The Korean consonants are listed below:

ㄱ= g/k

ㄴ= n

ㄷ= d

ㄹ=r/l**

ㅁ= m

ㅂ= b

ㅅ= s

ㅈ= j

ㅎ= h

*Try not to associate each character with the English letter but rather, to the sound. There is no perfect way to represent Korean characters using English letters.

**ㄹ sounds between a ‘r’ and an ‘l’ depending on what the word is.

                                        ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

K o r e a n   C o n s o n a n t s   P t . 2

These sounds often get confused with the ones above so learn those first.

ㅋ = k

ㅍ = p

ㅊ = ch

ㅌ = t

ㅇ = ng / no sound *

*Depending on where the ‘ㅇ’ is placed, it makes either a ‘ng’ sound like singingor no sound at all. 강 (surname) = kang. 이 (this) = ee

                                         ══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

K o r e a n   V o w e l s

The Korean vowels are listed below:

ㅣ = ee
ㅏ = a
ㅓ = eo*
ㅡ = eu**
ㅜ = u
ㅗ = o 

*ㅓsounds more like ‘uh’ in English.

**  ㅡ is slightly more difficult to pronounce. Try saying it with a smile.

┌───────────────────┐

     See part 2 for Hangeul here.

└───────────────────┘

If you’re new, I’m Alli and I make my own infographics to help you learn Korean with ease! If you’d like, click herefor more lessons like these.

Clickherefor Hangeul Pt.2~

I will be honest with you, this is my account I’m running in instagram LOL

However, it’s still true that this is a good resource to train your hangeul reading skill, learn new Korean vocabularies and practice what you’ve learnt.

:: Concept

Here, you can learn many words by playing a word chain game. On the first day of the month, I suggest a word and you suggest the next day’s word ‘that begins with the syllable that the previous word ended with’. Like this, we are going to play a month-long game together, studying Korean together!

:: Benefits

1. Learn by playing

Just play a word chain game here and you’ll find yourself learning without any pressure about vocabularies! If you are fed up with boring vocab books, Korean Word Chain will be refreshing your mind and boost your study!

2. Actual practice

Once you’ve learned a word, it’s not yet finished until you actually use it in practice! You can use the words you studied by participating this game. To find the next word of the game, you will literally rummage your brain or you may can also find new words.

3. Flash Cards & Pronunciation

From day 1 to 30, you are going to play the word chain game. On the last day of the month, there will be two videos on my youtube channel. A vocabulary video and a flash card video with the pronunciation by professional voice actor(Her Voice is AMAZING, you must check it!). 

:: Course

This FREE and FUN course of three steps will be repeated every month. You can learn, talk, interact, share a wealth of every information about Korean here. 

From day 1 to 30, on instagram account @koreanwordchain, you are going to play the word chain game. During the game, I provide you the flash cards and quiz in my instagram story and highlight. 

https://www.instagram.com/koreanwordchain/

On the last day of the month, you can go check my youtube channel @JIJEON Korean and have the flash cards video with NATIVE Korean pronunciation.

Though I didn’t post that often here in Tumblr but many of you, like almost 900 people, gave big love to this account(Still growing)! I’ve thought a lot about good Korean studying contents for you but I feel a lot of limit in this platform ;(

That is why I chose Instagram instead and here I came to invite you to my IG account @koreanwordchain. 

https://www.instagram.com/koreanwordchain/

I provide not just a word but also many useful informations related to the topic word of the day. Please visit and support my account and let’s communicate more there! Thank you for reading this big promoting post and See you in IG!
