Introduction

Since consonants can't be pronounced without the help of a vowel, we have decided to teach you the vowel first, then pair it with a consonant.

In this lesson, you will learn:

  • Consonants: ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㄷ, ㅇ
  • Vowels: ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅗ, ㅣ


ㅏ (vowel)

ㄱ (consonant)

Error: file ga.mp3 not found



ㅜ (vowel)

ㄴ (consonant)

ㅜ.jpg

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

Male
Female
link=ㄴ}

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

Practice 니 (replace with image)
Practice 미 (replace with image)


ㅇ (consonant)

link={{{link}}}

ㅇ gives off no sound in the initial position, instead it just simply acts as a placeholder since vowels can't 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 final position sounds won't be discussed until step 5 of this lesson. For now, just think of it as a placeholder for a consonant when only a vowel sound must be written. For full information about this letter, see .
