Hi, I'm Billy, and in this video series we'll be learning how to read and write Hangul.
2
Hangul is the word for the Korean alphabet.
3
Now you might be afraid to learn Hangul or think that it's too difficult, because at first glance it might just look like a bunch of circles and sticks, kind of like an alien language.
4
But once you learn the basics of how it works, Hangul is really simple to learn.
5
You can actually learn how to read and write it in just a few hours with some practice.
6
I should also note that although it might be tempting to just write Korean using the English alphabet instead of learning Hangul,
7
doing this will really hurt your progress in the language as soon as you begin learning any grammar.
8
So learn Hangul now, and you'll thank me later.
9
Hangul is unique because unlike other writing systems, it was created fairly recently, in the mid -1400s by the king at the time, who was named Sejong.
10
Before Hangul was created, the majority of Koreans simply could not read or write their own language.
11
So people who were wealthy and educated at the time would instead read and write using the Chinese language, because the Korean language didn't have a writing system.
12
Fortunately for us, Hangul is an alphabet, just like English uses an alphabet.
13
So you won't have to memorize thousands of characters like you would if you wanted to read and write Chinese or Japanese.
14
Instead, there are just 24 unique letters
15
that you'll need to know in order to read and write any sound that you want using hangul.
16
So let's get started learning our first few letters.
17
Here's our first letter, and it's a consonant.
18
What is a consonant?
19
Hangul, just like the English alphabet, is made up of consonants and vowels.
20
Now vowels are the letters A -E -I -O -U and sometimes Y, as you probably learned in school, and consonants are just every other letter that's not a vowel.
21
In order to make a sound or a syllable in Korean, we'll need at least one consonant and one vowel together.
22
To write this letter, start from the top left and draw it all in one stroke, going to the right and then downward.
23
You can pause the video to practice writing it yourself.
24
Writing these letters in the correct order is very important
25
because some letters can actually appear to be different letters if their stroke order is done incorrectly.
26
You'll see examples of this later, but for now focus on learning the correct stroke order with each new letter
27
and it'll save you a lot of time later on.
28
This letter is pronounced similar to a K or a G in English.
29
It's not a strong K sound like in the word kite, but it's also not a strong G sound like in the word great.
30
It's between a K and a G and a bit softer.
31
Now since this is just a consonant by itself, it doesn't have a sound.
32
So in order to give it a sound, we'll first need to add a vowel.
33
Let's go ahead and learn our first vowel and then we'll come back to this letter to hear what it sounds like.
34
Here's our second letter and it's a vowel.
35
To draw it, start at the top and draw a single line down.
36
Then draw a second shorter line to the right.
37
Practice writing this on your own a few times.
38
This letter is pronounced ah.
39
Ah.
40
Such as in the words la or car in American English.
41
Now that we have a vowel, we can give our first consonant a sound.
42
So let's put them together and create our first syllable.
43
In Korean, syllables are written arranged into blocks.
44
This is the first type of block that we'll be using.
45
C stands for consonant and V stands for vowel.
46
And there are six types of blocks that we'll use depending on which vowels we use and how many letters.
47
We'll talk about when to use other block types as we learn more letters
48
and once we've learned all 24 letters you'll already know
49
which blocks to use since we've only covered one consonant
50
and one vowel
51
so far we can put the two of them together in this order to make our first sound
52
and here it is just like in english if we take our k
53
or g sound
54
and attach an ah sound we get the sound ka ka notice how it's not ka and it's It's not ga,
55
but it's ka.
56
This sound is between a K and a G in English.
57
Practice it on your own.
58
Ka, ka, and one more time, ka.
59
Here's our next letter, which is another consonant.
60
To draw it, start at the top and draw it all in one stroke going down and to the right.
61
Practice writing it on your own.
62
This letter is similar to N, such as in the word now in English.
63
If we combine it with our vowel, A, we can hear that this letter would become Na.
64
Na.
65
And one more time.
66
Na.
67
Here's another consonant.
68
It's drawn in two pieces.
69
First, draw a horizontal line going from left to right.
70
Then, draw a second line from the left of the first line, and in one stroke, go down and to the right.
71
Practice writing it on your own.
72
This letter is similar to a T or a D sound in English, but it's not a hard T sound like in the word time, and it's not a hard D sound like in the word dog.
73
It's between T and D, and is a bit softer.
74
We can combine this consonant with our vowel A and hear it sound directly. And once more.
75
You can already see how it could be difficult to read
76
and write hangul using English letters because already two of our four letters can't even be written correctly using English.
77
Let's do a bit of practice.
78
Try reading the following sounds on your own without looking at your notes.
79
You can pause the video here.
80
Here are the answers.
81
가, 나, 다. And again.
82
가, 나, 다.
83
Practice these sounds on your own, writing each letter individually, writing them together, and then sounding them out.
84
The key to learning hangul quickly is practicing it as much
85
as possible in the next lesson we'll cover more consonants
86
and vowels and we'll learn another important syllable block

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
