Korean vowels 4(ㅐ, ㅒ, ㅔ, ㅖ)

In this post, we will look at th Korean diphthongs "ㅐ", "ㅒ", "ㅔ" and "ㅖ", which are all formed by combining "ㅣ". So there are some diphthongs that share the same pronunciation. ㅐ : 애(ae) "ㅐ" is a Korean diphthong, formed by combining "ㅏ"(a) and "ㅣ"(ee, i) . Because of this, both pronunciation and writing reflects characteristics of these two vowels. ▶ How to write "ㅐ" Start by drawing a "ㅏ". Add "ㅣ" to the right side. ▶ Pronunciation "ㅐ" is pronounced like the "e" in "egg" or "bed". "ㅐ" and "ㅔ" are pronounced the same. When a clear distinction between "ㅐ" and "ㅔ" is needed, Korean people pronounce "ㅐ" more distinctly as "a-ee"(ㅏ + ㅣ). ▶ Examples 새(sae) : Bird 애인(ae-in) : Lover 배(bae) : Pear, Ship ㅒ : 얘(yae) "ㅒ" is a diphthong, formed by combining the "ㅑ"(ya) a...

Basic Korean vowels3(ㅡ, ㅣ)

이미지
In this post, we covered the pronunciation and writing of "ㅡ" and "ㅣ". Since they are the last of the basic Korean vowels, they are quite simple to learn ㅡ : 으(eu) ▶ How to write "ㅡ" draw a horizontal line from left to right. ▶ Pronunciation There is no exact equivalent of the "ㅡ" in English. It's kind of like "eu", but without "u" sound at the end. ※ another way : If you say "s" in "style" and then take it away, the vowel sound that's left is pretty close to the "ㅡ". ▶ Examples 금요일(geum-yo-il) : Friday 음식(eum-sik) : Food 스키(seu-ki) : ski ㅣ : 이(i, ee) ▶ How to write "ㅣ" Draw a vertical line from up to down ▶ Pronunciation "ㅣ" is pronounced like "ee"(ee, i) in "see", but it's about half as long when spoken. ▶ Examples 이름(i-reum) : Name 이유(i-yu) : Reason 시작(si-jak) : Start
