oh hello my name is one a teacher yeah so welcome to the class so my name is written in English like this in Korean we say surname first so Saul is my surname and India is my name in here for now I know that you cannot read my name because you don't know Korean alphabets yet but in this video you will Master Korean alphabetes but before we start Korean alphabet let's check what is Korean language and what is Korean alphabet so Korean language is official language of South Korea and North Korea and number of native speakers are more than 80 million people and this is like a 15th Place so when we see the statistics number one language is Mandarin Chinese for sure yeah because there are so many people in China yeah I will make it bigger and Spanish and English Hindi are in the like a top rank yeah and Russian and Japanese also are in the top rank let's go down a bit and Korean is here number 15th an interesting thing is French or German languages are under the Korean link so when we think of native speakers actually there are more Korean native speakers than French native speakers or German native speakers of course there are many other people who speaks French or German as a second language yeah but when we just think of the number of native speakers actually Korean language is more stronger than French or German so you can see that you actually can communicate with many people if you study Korean language and Korean language family is quranic and French is language isolate this means that there is no other language which has the same family tree or family or like a family root yeah for example in Estonian Estonian language is quite similar to Finnish yeah you need to study Finnish to communicate of course but it's relatively much easier for estonians to study Finnish because those languages are related but Korean language is there's no like a proven theory that it is related to other languages so some people think that maybe it is related to Chinese or Japanese but with Chinese there is even no such theory that they are related Chinese language and Korean language are totally different yeah and there are some theories that maybe Japanese language and Korean language are from same length tree but this is just Theory and nothing has been improved so far yeah so there are some similarities in Grammar with Japanese and we share some vocabularies with Japanese and Chinese because we are neighboring countries but basically yeah this is just the theory so today we will learn Korean alphabet and Korean alphabet is used in South Korea and North Korea uh first one is written in Korean alphabeta [Music] I am Korean person yeah and when we see Japanese in Japan they use both Chinese characters and hiragana their own Japanese alphabet so what does so what does she hear this is Chinese character and wah this is Japanese alphabet this is again Chinese character this is Japanese alphabet yeah and in China they only use Chinese characters like this the difference between Chinese characters and alphabets are uh alphabets are based on the sound yeah so just like Estonian alphabet English alphabet or Russian alphabet if you write something even if there is no meaning you can still pronounce them right because it is based on the sound Korean alphabet is also same if you write random alphabets even if there is no meaning you can still pronounce them a Chinese character Chinese character is not alphabet Chinese characters are based on the meaning yeah there's no information about the sound yeah so when I see this Chinese character when I well people who reads Chinese character in Korea they know that this means I and Japanese people they use Chinese characters because they also know that this is and Chinese of course they know that this is I you know but the way that they pronounce it are different in Korean Japanese and Chinese so they understand the meaning of Chinese characters but the way the pronouns is based on the their nationality so or Chinese characters are relatively difficult to learn because there are so many Chinese characters that you have to learn to have a daily life daily life yeah but for alphabets because it's based on the sound if you know some few alphabets like 20s or 30s alphabet then it is enough to have a daily life but for Chinese characters you have to learn more and more about this to have a more complicated communication yeah so unlike China or Japan Koreans don't use Chinese characters anymore so it is also maybe easy for you to learn Korean than Japanese or Chinese and who made Korean alphabet hunger yeah uh before hunger was made by King the great Koreans also used Chinese characters and because Chinese characters were difficult and took some time to learn only noble men were able to read and write but commoners visions and slaves they did not have time to learn Chinese characters so there were many poor people who could not read and write so the Kings had done great the Kingston the great uh made hunger and said like this since Korean language and Chinese language are different it is hard to communicate with Chinese Traders so there are many poor people who cannot express their ideas here are means like the slaves or peasants and commoners therefore I made 28 letters for them and she made hunger in 1443 so in the beginning only like a commoners and prisons used is hunger and the woman did not use it but in the modern time hunger is an only official alphabet of Institute also named after him so we will start to learn Korean alphabet now yeah so I sent you this file so I hope you already printed out and let's practice from board first when we see Korean alphabet here there are many circles there circles those circles are the place for consonant those Circle places are for consonant yeah so when we just write r if you just write R without consonant it doesn't look pretty so we just put Circle there and those Alpha English alphabets that I wrote is Estonian alphabet yeah this is not English alphabet this is a so let's read first one ah ah yeah you have to repeat together ah second one yeah yeah third one oh oh yeah this all is a bit tricky for you yeah let's compare it with oh oh yeah when you pronounce o your leaves became round like this oh or like this but when you pronounce or you have to open up all all we use all when we found something oh what's that like that or or yeah so ah you will put up the most ah or it's smaller but still you have to make it be quiet or the next one y'all y'all so we just put you eat if there is a small bar there next one or or your your I put some star here yeah because I think it's difficult pronunciation so all and you know it's difficult for you for sure but why did I put o and yo uh here because uh I have tough Korean language for six years in Estonia by now and I noticed that estonians also have uh sometimes quite often wrong pronunciation on all yeah I think it's because actually Estonian o is not exactly the same with konyan or but it's more like between Korean or and or so when Estonia is pronounced o actually they don't Pro they don't make this round that much or or yeah so I want you to make your lips round when you pronounce o to clearly distinguish with all all all or like that so I want you to focus on those four pronunciation or yo yo all yo yo I hope you're repeating after me while you're watching this video so next one uh you you uh-huh and this is uh this is Estonian uh yeah so it should be easy for estonians but people who are not native Estonian speakers you can practice with your pen so put your pen inside your mouse and pronounce who um like this then it's easier so practice with your pen for a while if it's difficult to pronounce and next one e so those 10 volts are like a basic verse basic voice yeah and you probably have noticed some rule yeah so what is this or or check the camera or this is all and what is this oh right and what is this Anna ah okay what is this oh so Korean alphabets are not like uh doesn't look like random shape you know when I studied English for the first time the AE I owe you they just look random you know if it was difficult for me to memorize them yeah but this alphabets are logical right also if I put small bar that's yo it so yeah yeah you you yo yo yo yo like this equals like this right so it's very logical alphabet I'm saying yeah and when you see here like there is a like a small bar here you know on the top of the circle and top of the voice you know but but don't you don't have to write that just write like straight straight like this key of the Korean language is just right straight straight you know and there is no such a small part you know just um only computer is right like this so and then next one there combine the words combine the voice so those 10 volts are basic words so we combine some basic force and make another sound for example e plus e you know U and E Lee three three but it should be one vowel we [Music] and we have two a a so in the past probably my grandparents they were able to distinguish first a and second air yeah but Young Generation they don't distinguish air anymore yeah now I'm even not sure if I'm pronouncing it correctly so you don't have to also work on this part so Koreans also cannot distribute this anymore so you just have to know which air should you use yeah this is more like it in English you know I think pronunciation of C and K are same you know but you just have to know which is right you know so can I use K as a meaning of auto car no you just have to memorize the right spelling yeah so it's similar to that so you have to know which a is right for you and also you don't have to write those small part just this looks like H you know and next one saying yeah yeah yeah yeah so you put small bar and we put you eat J and o plus wall wall next one who plus e u e e we and we have three way yeah o plus a where where where where o plus where mix why but in Korean in English maybe you say what is but in Korean we say where why instead of what meter and Third Way is used for uh foreign language like through where then Sweden silhouette so uh please practice those pronunciations I will send you I probably already sent you the audio file of those so please repeat after me and check the pronunciation let's check once more together and then go to consonant first one ah ah yeah yeah oh yo yo make long ribs oh yo yo oh you you e e H yeah yeah wow wow wow whoa we where where where where where okay then let's go to consonant for consonant you cannot pronounce consonants without voice if you just pronounce good good like that and it sounds like yeah if you just pronounce good Koreans would think that ah you're pronouncing like this so you need forward to pronounce consulate so R is the first consonant so let's put R for those consonant pronunciation practice together ha ha Ka this is G and this is double g double G is similar to Estonian Ka if I wrote e t like this this means Estonian alphabet and e n this means English alphabet pronunciation so for example this one is Ka Ka Ka you know that English Korea and Estonian Korea Korea are different right Korea or air Korea Korea so in Korean language we have both pronunciation so estonians know how to pronounce God Ka and you speak good English so you know how to pronounce English version Ka Ka like this so just pronounce Twitter Ka Ka car car okay it means next one nah nah and ta ta this is D and Double D is similar to Estonian ta ta ta oh so uh double G is like character you know like potato cartoon and Double D is like Italian this is TA in English so we don't live in Thailand we live in Thailand right so English speakers say Italian but this is not right pronunciation like this practice this one ta PA ta da ta ta together and next one is LA la La so in Korean we don't distinguish L and r l r so if I write like this what is this oh [Music] this is radio but we pronounce it l but sometimes we pronounce r as well yeah so when do we pronounce r if then we pronounce r like that but in other cases is l so if Lu comes between two words then pronunciations are and others are l so it's mostly L yeah because there are many cases like consonant Lu Vore or vulner consonant consonant like this so mostly L pronunciations next one Ma m and then PA PA PA so in Korean we don't have re pronunciation V so if I write like this how can you read it p t o p t or PTO is video right like this and then double B Double B is Estonian like Spark Punk ba ba ba and English p is PA pop we also don't have a f sound so when we say France you say it's similar to Estonian Francis Ma let's pronounce compare the pronunciation PA PA PA PA PA PA ah next one is s a so this is soft s first one is softness that's why I put H in the middle but I would write without H yeah but many people pronounce in a strong way so I put ha ha and double s is SA SA and circle circle we put Circle when there is no consonant right when we pronounce war I said if there is no consonant we put Circle here so as a first consonant there is no found yeah there's no sound as a first concern but when it comes as a second consonant so for example here Khan is good it's the first consonant ah is here as our second consonant second consonant so then the pronunciation is oh so let's pronounce it ta SA Kang look at her how please okay and then next one is cha cha cha this is similar to English J word that of course it's different but maybe similar and da second one double G da da da next one ta ta ta third one is like church you know cha cha Church so I think those three are quite difficult consonants pronouns I said ta ta means quite a lot I think ta ta da da da ta cha guitar cha cha cha cha ta da cha so I think cha is easy it's like English CH you know church church oh just remember that the last one is ha ha I will tell you the writing part when you write s this right like this oh okay it's the other way around so we'll rewrite it please write like this yeah audience mostly write like this so let's write like this and foreign just put here foreign part you know this is strong only one way only one way okay well like a horizontally this is okay yeah yeah or you can lean a bit like this yeah but not this not UV for sure and who is also same and other things are just like straight straight okay let's pronounce once more and then move on ah first one let's practice the like a confusing ones correct ha ha Ka Ka foreign and then ta ta ta da ta together ta and then first one ah SA Kang that's one the most tricky part ta da da da ta ta okay and then other things nah nah la la Ma ha ha haha okay well done [Music] let's move how to write your name in hunger yeah so firstly consonants can only be pronounced with a Vore as I said if there is no war for consonant we add uh this is like this part not Estonian alphabet some people countries were confusing it you know but for example Christina named Christina first part Cree I Koreans cannot pronounce because there is only one vowel so you have to separate them first Curry KR cannot share one word what's the same s means war so we put uh you have to translate that not Christina but you have to pronounce clearly because there is a verb there is a kuri okay and so does that mean that you need one vowel for one consonant no no no consonants also can share one word together two consonants can share one bone if consonants are located at the front and back front and back so for example Palin you know t-a-l color like T and L can share a together because T is at the front and L is at the end you know but Cree was k r words together you know I was at the end so they cannot share but ta have they can share revolver put the volume in the meter Lean l and N can share I because I is in the middle so like this so we put first consonant and then vowel and then bottom part will be second consonant part second consonant part okay number two if there is no consonants in front of or we put Circle to make the letter pretty yeah for example indirect indirect on minus indirect is my Estonian name yeah because indirect sounds same when they start you know in in the rack so in when we write in I is a vowel right there's no consonant so you just put e right away no you have to put Circle first because there is no first consonant and then e and then Moon so e and drag ID means Vol right direction yeah so into an r e k d a good like indirect indirect um so how do we write Estonia or more SD in the student is St but in Korea we say Astonia because we learned it from Americans so when we write a we use this a and there should be Circle because there is no first consonant so Circle and then a and then s and uh because we cannot pronounce still together right stop s means volt so foreign this is how we pronounce Estonia okay and let's check just uh grammar rule in general yeah in Estonian and in English it's mostly subject verb object I love you like that but in Korean is subject object verb I you love the key is we put verb at the end love yo uh we put verb at the end yeah and in Korean there are post positions just like in Estonian so in Estonia there are 14 cases you put some grammar cases to at the end right do it too you put something like this yeah in Korea is the same with friend Hangout Korean food as an object yeah and we have many more post positions so we even put nin for first kiss as a subject like this yeah the Korean subjects as well okay so if you have any questions yeah feel free to ask through YouTube comment or through email yeah uh and if you you're okay then you can take the next video yeah okay see you in the next video
