Since consonants cannot be pronounced without the help of a vowel, we have decided to teach you the vowel first, then proceed to pair it with a consonant. Note some of these files are set to loop, so you must manually stop the files yourself.

介绍Introduction

Since consonants cannot be pronounced without the help of a vowel, we have decided to teach you the vowel first, then proceed to pair it with a consonant. Note some of these files are set to loop, so you must manually stop the files yourself.

In this lesson, you will learn:


ㅏ(元音) (vowel)

ㄱ(辅音) (consonant)

ㅏ.jpg

For full information about this letter, see .

link=ㄱ(辅音)}

This is pronounced like a mix between a G and a K at the beginning of a word. However, when found between vowels, the sound is voiced and makes a /g/ sound. For full information about this letter, see .



练习Practice


ㅜ(元音) (vowel)

ㄴ(辅音) (consonant)

ㅜ.jpg

This sound makes an "ooh" sound, similar to 'moon' or 'blue' or the U sound in Spanish (i.e. usted in "usted"). For full information about this letter, see .

link=ㄴ(辅音)}

This sound is the same as the N sound in English. For full information about this letter, see .



练习Practice


ㅗ(元音) (vowel)

ㅁ(辅音) (consonant)

ㅗ.jpg

For full information about this letter, see .

link=ㅁ(辅音)}

This sound is the same as the M sound in English. For full information about this letter, see .



练习Practice


ㅣ(元音) (vowel)

ㄷ(辅音) (consonant)

ㅣ.jpg

This sound is similar to the 'ee' sound in 'see' or 'free.' For full information about this letter, see .

link=ㄷ(辅音)}

This is pronounced like a mix between the sounds of a T and a D at the beginning of a word. However, when found between vowels, the sound is voiced and makes a /d/ sound. For full information about this letter, see .

ㅇ (辅音consonant)

link={{{link}}}

ㅇ represents no sound when found in the initial position of a syllable. Instead, it simply acts as a placeholder since vowels cannot be written by themselves. However, if ㅇ is in the final (bottom) position, it makes an "ng" sound, i.e. 'sing' or 'wrong' (IPA: ŋ ), but these final position sounds will not be discussed until step 5 of this lesson. For now, think of it as a placeholder for a consonant when only a vowel sound must be written. For full information about this letter, see .
