4. Korean Syllable Construction Practice

4. Korean Syllable Construction Practice

Writing Korean Syllables at this point should be a mechanical process which still requires some practice. In this episode we are going to write some of the Korean syllables that are constructed from the basic 14 consonants and one vowel (episode 1 and 2). In addition we are going to differentiate Korean pronunciation from that of English (Romanization). This attention to the pronunciation should help you talk like native Korean. (Three videos and the part 3 is the random practice)
