"런던"

Translation: London

[LeonardoN.M]

[Balfantz1]

How did you that?

[2005andy]

ok but... that's beautiful

[beatricegastii]

I love how they say "LAN-DAN" :3

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Laendaen

[kylizzle16]

it's Leondeon

[isafarhan]

Why do they use eo instead of o? For example, why is it not 론돈?

[ClassiDuo]

The "o"s in "London" don't sound like /o/; using that sound would make the Korean even less similar to the English.

[huibp]

Vowels in the romanization don't sound the same as how you would pronounce them in English. Compare this to other languages: for example in Dutch "Landen" comes closer as how you would pronounce "London" in English (although we write it as "Londen" :P).

[132.n27Pi1JXXSj2]

In Spanish we didn't give a f. so we end up pronouncing it as /'lo̞ndɾe̞s/

[sugakookied127]

Lol,savage

[VictorAyo]

Chinese will say lundun

[VictorAyo]

Why is it sounding dandan

[Anna750471]

I have no idea of the meaning of what you wrote lol

[rylew0925]

How do we know when to use the "L" OR "R" sounds for "ㄹ?"

[Zahira413124]

I dont know if this will help you, but ㄹ+vowel= sound R. (Ra, re, ri, etc)
Consonant+ㄹ= sound L.

[PERCE_NEIGE]

And vowel + ㄹ = L ?

[deactivated user]

It helps. Tysm. :)

[deactivated user]

It helps. Tysm :)

[CamSei]

Thanks, very helpful.

[circularsquare]

At the beginning of a syllable it's pronounced "r", and at the end it's pronounced "l". However, in some loanwords it's pronounced "l" when it normally wouldn't be (take 런던, for example)

[bts_is_perfect]

For me is sounds like they are saying "Dun Dun" my actual name is London so I found this quite cute! uwu

[KIKI_ISMUFFIN]

It means London,
It sounds like: don don
;^;

[Ryko330433]

Why am i learning captial cities and brand names in Alphabet 3?????

[Lars.ofthe.Stars]

Because since they sound similar to the English words it gives practice with the sounds and alphabet. I recommend using a Korean keyboard to type out the words for this section if you're on mobile

[EduardAlex13]

Reondeon

[GSparklyAvocado]

OMG! This is so freaking cool! I had the volume off and I'm getting the correct answers by sounding out the characters. It's really starting to "쿨익" Sorry, I'm nerding out here

[DaliaSanchez96]

런(leon)던(deon)

[Maahibtsarmy1234]

I heard bangtan

[Sissi772773]

Why is she saying clearly an "L" sound when pronouncing it? I thought "ㄹ" is somewhere between an 'r' and an 'l' but when it's at the start of the word and/or a syllable it's more of an "r"...

Also, the first 'ㅓ' she pronounces more of an 'o' and the second 'ㅓ' like an 'a' (as in 'ㅏ') and none of them is pronounced as they should be, as in 'eo'

:(((

[Cloutdog]

Doulingo doesn't teach alphabet have you tried to go on websites like Learn to read korean in fifteen minutes? I want to explain but i need a korean keyboard ;-;
I'll do it the best i can, the letter you mentioned has a rule to it. If it is at the end it makes a "L" sound. Do you get it? If not i can explain more :)

[korea_rules]

What is used for the letter b in korean?

[LalaHagoro]

런던=Leondeon

[Arkomnesia]

it sounds like done done

[HappyRose16]

How do i know when ItS pronounced like r o l ??

[Isaac_Luna_]

Is this really supposed to be pronounced like "lonDON" as it is here, or should it be pronounced "LONdon" like it would be pronounced in English?

[PERCE_NEIGE]

Why do you expect Korean language to have the stress at the same place? You can't talk Italian with English stress marks for instance.

[Martyna521969]
