Korean Dipthongs: Complex Vowels
In this final lesson of Study Korean Language 1, you will learn the remaining vowels that you will need to be able to read Korean. Most of these letters are called "dipthongs" – which is just a fancy way of saying that there are two vowels in one. After learning these final letters, you will be able to apply these letters to words and start learning simple sentences and grammatical formations.
Luckily, all of the letters you will learn in this lesson are based off vowels that you have already studied. You should remember these letters from before:
ㅏ = a
ㅓ = eo
ㅜ = u
ㅗ = o
There are four more vowels that we can make by adding one extra line to each of the previous vowels. By adding this extra line, a 'Y' sound gets added to each vowel:
ㅑ = ya
ㅕ = yeo
ㅠ = yu
ㅛ = yo
If we were to make some syllables with these new vowels, they would look like this:
약 = yak
역 = yeok
육 = yuk
욕 = yok
