Getting know the alphabets

Korean alphabets are very different with the common one that
we use. First of all , let me introduce the alphabets.

As seen in the table , the ` consonant are silent one. Korean

vowels alphabets must be written after `.

The special

consonants are `and `.

=Ga

= Gu

= Gya

= Gyu

= Geo (read as Go)

= Geu (read as Ke)

= Gyeo (read as Go)

= Gi

= Go
= Gyo

As you seen above , ` and ` have some special treatment

with how it was read. For ` , it must be read as G but for
some occasion , it could be read as K too. Read the table , and
Im sure you can read hangul ^^ Practice it and ask for
peoples opinion about how you spelled it :D

Dari gambar di atas, perhatikan juga bahwa ada beberapa konsonan yang akan berubah
bunyinya jika ditaruh di bawah (final), antara lain:

: dari 'r' jadi 'l'

: dari tanpa suara jadi 'ng'

: dari 's' jadi 't'

Pengucapan konsonan pada Hangul mirip dengan konsonan bahasa Indonesia. Sedangkan
untuk vokalnya, perhatikan contoh penulisan bahasa Indonesia menggunakan tulisan Hangul di
bawah ini:

gosong
otomatis
emas
estetika
emansipasi

eo
o
eu
ae
e

Sebagai

latihan,

silakan

baca

beberapa

kalimat

dasar

berikut

ini:

= hai!
= kamu cantik
[____] = nama saya [____]
= terima kasih
Kesimpulannya, untuk menguasai Hangul, sebenarnya kita cuma perlu menghafal 20 bentuk
unit saja, 14 konsonan dasar + 6 vokal dasar. Selebihnya, kita cukup memahami pola
improvisasi pada tiap unit tersebut, apakah didobel, +i, +w atau +y. Hal ini lah yang membuat
tulisan Korea (Hangul) sangat jauh lebih mudah dipelajari daripada tulisan Cina atau Hanja.
