It seems as if most of the confusion is from people using romanization. ㅏ Doesn't make a sound like "ay" or "ah". It makes the "aw" sound. ㅣ Doesn't make a sound like "ie" or "ih". It makes the "ee" sound. Once you memorize the alphabet, abandon romanization, the characters don't make the exact sounds romanized, it's really hard to replicate most of the sounds with the simple English letters.
Yeah i also agree, I am watching Youtube videos on the subject and then use this app and I'm getting mixed messages.... Just using Hangeul seems the way to go.
I think you are the first person to ever explain 아 to me as being more similar to "aw" rather than "ah". I feel like people always say it's like "ah" and I get confused because to my ears it doesn't sound like that, but then I'm afraid of being the dumb American who pronounces it like we often pronounce the letter A in English words. I think if I try to focus on leaning more towards "aw" than either of the other two, then maybe the pronunciation will be a bit closer. Thank you!
http://www.ryanestrada.com/learntoreadkoreanin15minutes/ this helped me a lot when i first started learning hangul and the pronunciation of the hangul. some things are different when it is romanized because hangul doesn't have a direct roman character translation.
I don't het how it translates to child, milk, like I don't understand how your suppose to figure that out
I think the reason for that is one of three, 1: they want to understand the lyrics, 2: they think they'll be able to meet them and want to learn their language or 3: They hear them speaking korean, thought it was cool and wanted to learn. I, personally, am number 3.
아 is "a" and 이 is "i" then together u get "ai", if you say it fast it'll sound better. 우 is "u" and 유 "yu" because of the added mark at the bottom that makes it a y. so together it is "uyu" pronounced as u-yo. hope this helps and aye namjoon :D
If anyone is stuggling with the alphabet, I found the app "Drops" very helpful with learning the Korean alphabet. Give it a go if you're interested. Also I strongly recommend writing down the translation of every letter you learn.
it's difficult when we have to match them because it makes a sound that looks different than how it should be pronounced so I fully agree with @Paul862466 on this topic.
Who else is here to learn korean only for understading bts?ARMY HEREEEEEEE
I don't get how your suppose to sound that out like what when was I suppose to learn it
I cant tell, but it almost sounds like there's an h at the beginning of the pronunciation for child? I don't think there would be because that's not how the character usually sounds, but can't unhear it. Can somebody please confirm or deny whether my ears are playing tricks on me?
??? i dont get it. i know how to pronounce the letters but idk how to translate it. help please
The Korean pronunciation for "milk" sounds like that "ohyo" thing Sana says a lot. Any Onces here? lol
Guys if there's letter 'a' in the pronounciation for ex. 'wae' , there's letter 'a' in it so we use '오', but if there are other vowels like i,e,o, etc. then we use 우 for ex. 'wi' (위) ? Pls correct me of im wrong
If you aren't native in English (like me) first you are thinking what does it mean? Then trying to translate it then your brain is blow up. Btw this comment not only for this example. So what can I say? I think I am learning two languages at the same time. But please duolingo add more laguages cause we need it
Okay so the romanizations really confuse me. I know the sounds from youtube videos, so the romanizations just dont fit and theyre confusing. Just abandon them once you have it down. :/
yes milk children its good for the envirement
this is a joke dont milk the children

Not clear that one is supposed to check both blocks to make a correct answer.
