About ‘Hangul’ which is Korean

June 30th, 2012 · No Comments

The title of my talk is ‘Hangul’

 .

That is what korean use a written language. Easily korean alphabet.

Today I’ll be talking about hangul. Because Hangul is language of my country.  I heard that hangul is very scientific and creative.  I’ve wanted to know about hangul for a long time. After reading this post I expect you to realize a few knowledge in hangul and I want you to be interested in hangul.

let’s start with some stories about hangul. oxford university in england evaluated lots of main languages around 30 countries about rationality , creative and scientific. as a result , hangul was top of many languages.

here is another story. some people call hangul is ‘ a day language ‘ because you can learn hangul just in a day. due to that reason, surprisingly illiteracy rate of korea is nearly zero percent.

 

Now let me tell you ‘history of hangul’ hangul is made by king sejong in 1446.

and first published hangul book called ‘ Hunminjeongeum ‘ was designated a world heritage of UNESCO in 1997. hangul is the only language that we can know ‘ who made hangul and when was made and what Is principle which was made. there is no anywhere like this language.

 

 

don’t you think it is time to learn how to make words with hangul. Korean words consist of an initial consonant and a vowel or sometimes a consonant placed under a vowel. when we make a word , we generally use 19 consonants , 21 vowels .

consonants                                                           vowels

for example , 안녕 means ‘hello’ when we make a this, ㅇ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 안  and ㄴ + ㅕ + ㅇ = 녕 we write like this. and can you divide ‘ 사랑해‘ ?

I want you to know just how hangul looks ike.

 

Finally I’d like to say hangul’s sound . when you read a english word , you can feel it is a little hard because that sound is different according to word. for example alphabet ‘A’ can be sounded as /[a]/, [eo ]/, /[ei]/, /[æ]/ .  but hangul is always same sound . so some foreigners who learn korean feel easy. but as you know the more you keep learning another language, the more you feel hard.

I want you to understand and have a little knowledge about hangul.
