tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 KOREAN CLASSROOM: INTRODUCTION: Korean is a language spoken by Koreans (duh). It has a structure not unlike English, with consonants and vowels. Like English, how you use characters can change the meaning of a word. It is also fairly complex, and has a few exceptions to the rules. BANNER: Sorry, I don't have the motivation to make a banner for this classroom. NOTE: I am considering posting my lessons on Kaoko's forum... HOW THIS WILL WORK: Anyway, first lesson is ㄱ [g]. I will go in like: ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅂ, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅍ, ㅎ, and then onto the vowels, which will be taught like this: ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅡ,ㅣ , ㅐ, ㅔ, and then more complicated vowels like ㅘ, ㅙ, ㅢ. Unlike Kaoko, I will NOT give you homework, but I will suggest that you practice. I may give quizzes...ohohoho... LESSONS: 1) ㄱ 2) ㄴ 3) ㄷ 4) ㄹ 5) ㅂ 6) ㅁ 7) ㅅ 8) ㅈ 9) ㅊ 10) ㅇ 11) ㅋ 12) ㅍ 13) ㅎ 14) ㅏ 15) ㅑ 16) ㅓ 17) ㅕ 18) ㅗ 19) ㅛ 20) ㅡ 21) ㅣ 22) ㅐ 23) ㅔ 24) The difference between ㅐ and ㅔ 25) ㅘ 26) ㅙ 27) ㅢ 28) ㅚ 29) ㅝ 30) ㄲ, ㄸ 31) Second consonant introduction 32) The ㅅ and ㅆ rule 33) The ㅎ and ㅁ rule More to continue...

LESSON 1: ㄱ ㄱ is one of the Korean consonants, and is pronounced with a hard g sound, i.e as in God or guard. ㄱ is written with two strokes. 1) Starting from the left, a stroke is made to the right. 2) Continuing at the end of the first stroke, another stroke is made down. *shown above* Examples of words with ㄱ: 고 [goh] - means go. No, seriously, it means go, as in GO! Not the game. Loanword from English. 강아지 [gahng ah jee] - means dog. 경찰차 [gyung chahl chah] - police car. 경찰서 [gyung chahl suh] - police station/department. *more examples to come* If you wish, you may practice writing ㄱ. Want me to clarify anything? Just say so. NEXT LESSON: ㄴ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rom Yui 16 Report post Posted March 18, 2011 I'm a fan of Dae jang geum, if you want people to be interested in Korean language, and joining, you need to make them watch this drama... my cousin is a huge fan of it, after she watched Dae jang geum, she started studding Korean language, and cooking Korean food... everything Korean... this is for girls, as for boys I'm not sure ...

Aeyra 260 Report post Posted March 19, 2011 i am confused. I can't find the consonant in half the words there.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anti-APTX4869 181 Report post Posted July 28, 2011 Lol Korean. It's easy when you get used to it. I know the Grammar is similar to Japanese so this would be easy if you know Japanese. The hard part is the spacing and consonant+vowel combination. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is 민에 a name? 예쁜 is an adjective. To make it a verb, do this: 민에, 당신은예뻐 Hope this helped! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
