1. 0:01안녕하세요 링고리의 성찬이에요 (Hi, this is Seongchan from Lingory)
2. 0:03Hi everyone, this is Seongchan the founder of Lingory. I'm here to help you succeed in learning the korean alphabet
3. 0:17This video is a lesson about the korean alphabet
4. 0:21I've seen many posts on the internet about  whether learning korean is hard or not
5. 0:26I guess that many people are afraid of starting to learn korean
6. 0:30But, don't worry
7. 0:31Learning the Korean alphabet is quite easy. So, let's give it a try
8. 0:36Before we get into consonants and vowels, I will show you how the Korean alphabet or hangeul looks like
9. 0:43All korean syllables are formed like blocks
10. 0:46You don't have to pause the video to memorize all  of them now but there is one rule I want to tell you
11. 0:53which is, we read korean from left to right and  from top to bottom.
12. 0:59Keep this in mind. And I will tell you how to combine them into a block later
13. 1:04Now, let's check out the 10 basic vowels first
14. 1:10So, the vertical line with a little  stick on the right side, this is ㅏ(a), ㅏ
15. 1:17and if we add another stick on the  right side of the vertical line, it's ㅑ(ya), ㅑ
16. 1:27and a vertical line with  a stick on the left side is ㅓ(eo), ㅓ
17. 1:34and then, if we put additional stick on ㅓ(eo), then it's ㅕ(yeo), ㅕ
18. 1:42Now, we have a horizontal line with a stick on the top which is ㅗ(o), ㅗ
19. 1:51and putting one more little stick on it, it becomes ㅛ(yo), ㅛ
20. 1:58if a horizontal line has a little stick on the bottom it's ㅜ(u), ㅜ
21. 2:05and an additional stick on ㅜ(u), it's ㅠ(yu), ㅠ
22. 2:11ㅜㅠ(u-yu) together means milk in korean. The last two vowels have no little sticks on the lines
23. 2:20so the flat horizontal line is ㅡ(eu), ㅡ
24. 2:26and the flat vertical line is ㅣ(i), ㅣ
25. 2:31If you would like to write down the vowels, you can pause the video now.
26. 2:36Alright let's move on to the 14 basic consonant
27. 2:41This is ㄱ(giyeok) with  a g sound, ㄱ(geu),
28. 2:46next one is ㄴ(nieun) with a n sound, ㄴ(neu)
29. 2:52and then ㄷ(digeut) with a d sound, ㄷ(deu)
30. 2:57This is an r sound. But, it can also kind of be  like an l. it's kind of in the middle of the two
31. 3:07To make this sound, you should put the tip  of your tongue behind your upper teeth
32. 3:12ㄹ(reu), ㄹ
33. 3:15and this is ㅁ(mieum) with an m sound,
34. 3:19ㅁ(meu), ㅁ
35. 3:23If you think about the shape of your mouth your  mouth is kind of square shape, when you make the meu sound
36. 3:29That's why it's ㅁ(meu). if ㅁ(mieum) has its  hands up, then it's ㅂ(bieup) with a b sound
37. 3:41and ㅅ(siot) is an s sound
38. 3:45That ㅇ(i-eung), the one that looks like a circle
39. 3:49If it falls in our first section, this consonant becomes silent
40. 3:55So, if you put this ㅇ(i-eung) in front of any vowels,
41. 3:59it's just exactly the same pronunciation as the  vowel sound, like it doesn't change anything
42. 4:07The reason why ㅇ(i-eung) comes first even though it's silent  is because you have to have a constant first
43. 4:15but if this ㅇ(i-eung) appears on the bottom of a syllable,
44. 4:20the sound is changing to ng sound, eung sound. So, if you take a look at this example syllable
45. 4:28the first ㅇ(i-eung) is silent and then the vowel ㅡ(eu), then again, ㅇ(i-eung) at the bottom of the syllable as a last consonant
46. 4:39is not silent but has a ng sound. So, this whole syllable sounds like 응(eung), eung
47. 4:50The next one is ㅈ(jieut) with a j sound
48. 4:55and if there is a little dash on the top of the ㅈ(jieut) It becomes ㅊ(chieut) with a ch sound.
49. 5:03if ㄱ(giyeok) has an extra line inside, it becomes ㅋ(kiyeok), ㅋ with a k sound
50. 5:12and with ㄷ(digeut) if there is an extra line inside it becomes ㅌ(tigeut) which is a t sound
51. 5:22Do you remember how ㅁ(mieum) became ㅂ(bieup)? ㅁ with its hands up became ㅂ
52. 5:30but if ㅁ(mieum) stretches its arms and  legs horizontally then it becomes ㅍ(pieup), peu with a p sound
53. 5:41and ㅎ(hieut) the one that looks like a head wearing a head is h sound
54. 5:48alright you're done with the 10 vowels and 14 consonants. Now it's time to learn how to combine them into a block
55. 5:57i know you may not remember all of them yet but  just try with me. so this is our first example word
56. 6:07Can you guess the pronunciation of  this word? I will give you some seconds
57. 6:15so this word is starting with ㄴ(nieun) with n sound
58. 6:22and the vowel with a sound so it's together
59. 6:30나(na), 나.
60. 6:34Second example, it's starting with  ㄱ(giyeok) with a g sound and the vowel ㅏ(a), 가(ga)
61. 6:49and the second syllable is starting  with ㅅ(siot) with s sound and vowel ㅜ(u)
62. 7:00together it's 가수(gasu), 가수 which means singer
63. 7:09Third one
64. 7:13It's starting with ㄷ(digeut) with d sound and vowel ㅗ(o), 도(do)
65. 7:23and consonant ㅅ(siot) with s sound
66. 7:29and vowel ㅣ(i)
67. 7:32ㅅ(seu), ㅣ(i), 시(si)
68. 7:36So, together it sounds 도시(dosi), 도시 which means a city
69. 7:46Last one, do you remember how it sounds?
70. 7:53if ㅇ(i-eung) comes first in the syllable, it  becomes silent. So, silent with vowel ㅑ(ya), ㅑ
71. 8:07and the first consonant in the second syllable
72. 8:13ㄱ(giyeok) with g sound geu and vowel ㅜ(u)
73. 8:19ㄱ(geu), ㅜ(u), 구(gu)
74. 8:23so together it sounds 야구(yagu), 야구 which means baseball.
75. 8:31Congratulations everyone, that was the basics of the Korean alphabet, hangeul. Hope you guys enjoyed the lesson and i will see you in the next one. Bye
