Learn Korean with KoreanClass101.com! You’re on the prowl in Korea, and you and your friends are appraising everyone who walks through the door in Korean. First, a tall, dark, and handsome Korean man walks through the door. You ask your friends in Korean, “Who is that?” Without even bothering to answer your question, one of your friends responds in Korean, “Married.” Enough said. Next, another tall Korean man with glasses walks through the door. Five paces in, you can see that this Korean man is losing his hair. An unusual silence falls across the table until one of your friends pipes up in Korean, “Isn’t anyone going to ask about him?” You respond in Korean, “Well, not after that last guy…” She responds in Korean, “Well, even if he’s not drop-dead gorgeous, he looks like he might be a nice guy. I want to know who he is!”

Learning Korean with KoreanClass101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Korean! This Korean Absolute Beginner lesson will show you how to ask questions about people starting with the Korean word that means “who.” We’ll also teach you the Korean demonstrative adjectives that mean “this” and “that.” Who would want to miss this Korean lesson?

Good afternoon timandyou,
thnx translate to me.
last year i went go to korea. 3 months during.
so i know some korean. i understand a litle. nega arigesamnida hehe
but it is only by hearing myself. so i don’t know spelling. / Eon mali dukate hehe./
I am traveled. i am seen mix museum and sea / nega pada chalipassoeo. padanuni jincha aramdava/ i like it
i was live in Suwongshi ibugdun.there live in my mother.
Ddu hanbunban tuvajuseyu
nega chali mol-layo about some korean letter.
it’s some letter very same. i can’t difference.
examle: circle form. form writed with “vowel” and “n” letter. they are same with circle form.
And last one I found keyboard with korean letter :roll:

avatar
timandyou says:

Hello happy,
Thanks for the comment,

I think… you are talking about “ㅇ” and “ㅗ”.
To simply say and compare them with English… (I think that’s the best way for me to make you understand the difference…)

Remember, any ‘STICK’ is called “vowel” - ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅗ, ㅜ, ㅡ, ㅣ….
any letter without ‘STICK’ is called “consonant” - ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅂ, ㅇ….

Now you know “ㅇ” is a consonant & “ㅏ” is a vowel.
Now let’s take a look at its pronunciation.
1. “ㅇ” = [ng] ex. “singing” [ng], “going” [ng], “doing” [ng]…
2. “ㅏ” = [a]

What’s more…
At this point, that’s all I can give you…
cheers,
Tim :cool:
