(a)  

Answer explanation

When it comes back to its origins these letters follow the movement of the mouth. So like in the picture here can help direct to the sound each vowel makes.

Can the vowels appear more than once in a syllable?

• yes

• No

Answer explanation

A syllable block can have up to only for spots but the syllable only contains one set of vowels in that syllable. Example:

E: da - r -k

K: 어 - 두 - 운 (so in this breakage of syllables all only have one set of vowels as it make up the word. Why? Because unlike English to make a sound you need a consonant and vowel together while in English the consonants make a sound by itself but cant have a word without a vowel. So to make the whole word you need the sound to do so therefore it looks like this formation of organization.)

Does ㅇ make a sound?

• Yes

• No

Answer explanation

Now lets use this image as for a example.

First the pink circle is the letter of discussion.

Second the 2 line of letters is the Korean we'll b looking at.

Third the bottom letter that are in English form is called romanization a way to spell it out in English but to do that you need to know Hangul to say it correctly.

Anyways the purple part of the Korean word doesn't have a lower part like the yellow side. The lower part is called a batchim. So in the yellow part you also see the same letter at the bottom and that is what we be looking at is the difference.

So the purple one its before the vowel and that is where the letter is silent (making no sound almost like its not there) but in the yellow part as the Batchim it makes a sound and that sound is (ng). So that's the difference which you can also see in the third row in romanizations. As it skips the letter and goes straight to the vowel unlike at the end where you see ng.

Is it true that if ㅇ is place with a vowel that the vowel will stay the same?

• False

• True

When the consonants have two English letters paired with it for your pronunciation benefit what does this means?

(a)  

Answer explanation

When it comes to paired pronunciation it is like team work both having it shared time. So if you can find a middle ground in between the two there it will be revealed in how it sounds. Also hears a hint that in the Korean pronunciation it's a lot softer than English pronunciation and more dragged out. As in there is air still flowing out as you pronouncing it.

Ex:
E: go
K: goo

See the differents?

Is it true that the consonants can be paired with any vowel and it changes sounds?

• True

• False

Now lets go over what we have learned so far....

Guess the letters in order with their pronunciation.
syllable 1. eo + m

syllable 2. m + ah

syllable 3. n + i

Add the syllables together and see what it makes.

Answer explanation

Your answer should be:
엄마니

Explain:

syllable 1. it said eo + m which makes 엄 because the ㅇ is there because korean words don't starts with a vowel so coming from the ㅇ lesson it place there as a see through consonant.

syllable 2. it said m + ah which makes it 마 adding the consonants and vowel together to make the sound.

syllable 3. it said n + (I)ee which makes it 니 so the (i) ee part might be confusing that is because the vowel is represented as the i vowel in English put its pronounce ee in the korean language.

Now add all the syllables together you'll get 엄마니

which means mother.

Compound vowels are combination of other vowels that are being paired with eachother.

• True

• False
