I will teach you the letters, but not everything about it. Sometimes they have little rules; like the "s" sound can sound like a "sh" sound at the beginning. Also, it can be a "t" at the end in some moments. You will pick up on these things when you read more words (like I did). I will teach you this stuff at some point. For now, the basics.
I will put the name of the letter, but you don't have to memorize it really.
Letter name sound
ㄱ giyeok g/k
(g at beginning and k at end)
ㄴ nieun n
ㄷ digeut d/t
(d at beginning and t at end)
ㄹ rieul r/l
(r at beginning and l at end)
ㅁ mieum m
ㅂ bieup b/p
(b at beginning and p at end)
ㅅ siot s
(Weird rules that I will explain later. Just remember the "s" sound for now)
ㅇ ieung -/ng
(You can put it in the beginning with a vowel to make no sound; ex, 아니요 (a-ni-yo). The ㅇ is in the beginning with the vowel ㅏ. You can't just have a vowel by itself, you have to have the ㅇ consonant in front of it. So, 아니요 (correct way), ㅏ니요 (incorrect). The ㅇ can make a "ng" sound at the end of a word; ex, 빵 (ppa-ng)).
ㅈ jieut j/ch
(Cross between j/ch. Not j at beginning and ch at end, like the other ones we've leatned so far).
ㅊ chieut ch
ㅋ kieuk k
ㅌ tieut t
ㅍ pieup p
ㅎ hieut h
There are more consonants called "double consonants" that I will put up
at some point. I had one in the example for ㅇ at the end of the sentence; 빵... ㅃ.
Now, imma go to sleep now. I promise to upload as soon as I wake up. 잘자요! (jal-ja-yo)! (Good night)!
