Ahh I keep thinking my "Intro to Hangul" is over but then I keep remembering things xD
Now some syllables have 4 letters in one
For example in: 괜찮아 and 앉다/앉아
This isn't too bad.
If there is a "silent" consonant after the syllable, then you carry the last letter in the that syllable to the next. Make sense?
So like 앉아 that is said "Anja" you pronounce the N at the bottom (ㄴ) and since there is an ㅇ after the ㅈ, you carry the ㅈ to that syllable. Pretty much making it 안자. I believe both spellings are actually alright. Correct me if Im wrong.
Same for 괜찮아 (gwaen chanh a) We are focusing on that middle part 찮. Since there is an ㅇ after the ㅎ you pronounce the H, although H is pretty silent in these cases so don't say "Gwaen chan HA" just ignore it lol.
Wonhae manhi manhi anyone? "Manhi" is spelled 많이 but you see? You don't really even say the H in this.
Now if there is a consonant after another consonant. You don't pronounce the first one.
For example: 앉다. ㄷ makes a sound unlike ㅇ so you actually want to just drop the ㅈ and go for ㄷ instead. This is said "An da."
Now don't go for 안다 when spelling because that's a totally different word ㅋㅋㅋ
