An-nyeong ha-sae-yo, everyone! This has been the 4th post of #JomKoreanwithMawen, have you been enjoying the whole new language learning experience so far? In the past 3 lessons, we have learnt 10 vowels and started with 3 consonants. We are reaching half-way in unlocking all the Hangul alphabets. Just stay strong and we are very close to the success!
Have you downloaded all the worksheets and practiced writing them these few days? Remember this, practice makes perfect! You can go back to the previous lessons to have a recap: part 1, part 2 and part 3.
In this lesson, we are learning three consonants: ใน-, ใ - and ใ -. Watch the video lesson first before making any notes referring to the written materials, especially on the correct pronunciation as the romanization is not always the best representation for the sound.
The first consonant has a more complicated shape, with the combination of (ใฑ), (ใ ก) and (ใด). It represents a sound that similar like ‘l’ and ‘r’. Most of the Korean terms do not have this sound, therefore you can observe that this consonant is most commonly found in loan words. Loan words are vocabularies that derived from foreign language. However, they will sounds different that the original pronunciation as they are adapted into the Korean reading patterns.
Example
1. (๋ผ)๋ฉด : ra-myeon (instant noodles)
2. (๋ก)์ผ : ro-ket (rocket)
3. (๋ผ)๋์ค : ra-di-o (radio)
4. ํ(๋ฃจ) : ha-ru(radio)
The second one is easy to remember of its shape. It looks just like a rectangle. You can write (l) as your first stroke, followed by (ใฑ) and close the box last. It has a sound of ‘m’ and ‘b’ in English romanization. It’s closer to the ‘m’ sound, if we compare with the next consonant later.
Example
1. (๋ง)๋ ์ด์์ : ma-re-i-si-a (Malaysia)
2. (๋จธ)๋ฆฌ : meo-ri (head)
3. ๋ง๋ง๋ฌด : ma-ma-mu(Mamamoo)
4. ๋ชจ์ : mo-ja (hat)

The last consonant for this lesson will be sounded similar like ‘b’ and ‘p’ in English. The shape of this character is like a container with a lid, or a tank filled partially with water. But, we need to write it in the correct sequence, from left to right, and top to bottom. We will draw two (ใ ฃ) strokes, then complete with another two (ใ ก) across the lines. The sound of this consonant can be confusing, as it is somehow sounds very similar like ‘p’, but mostly close to the ‘b’ in English.
Example
1. (๋ฐ)์ง : ba-ji (pants)
2. ๋ณด๋ค : bo-da (to see)
3. ๋ฐ๋ณด : ba-bo(idiot)
4. ๋น์ธ : bi-ssa (expensive)
