klo gag tau hrufnya agak2 susah.

ㄱ ‘k’.가! – ka – "Go!"
An unaspirated ‘k’ at the beginning of a word, and a ‘g’ most of the time in the middle of words
By unaspirated, I mean that it’s not pronounced very hard, like the English

ㄴ 나 – na – "I" ‘n’
Made by almost biting on the tongue at the ends of words, and by placing the tongue behind the top teeth otherwise

ㄷ 다 – ta – "all"
Like, ㄱ, this consonant is like the unaspirated ‘t’ in English. It is a ‘d’ in the middle of words.


ㄹ 가라! – ka-ra – "Go!"달리 – tal-li – "differently"
A mixture between the English ‘r’ and ‘l’. When between vowels, it is like a single rolled Spanish ‘r’ or like the ‘tt’ in ‘butter’ in some American dialects. If there are two of them together, it becomes a solid ‘l’.

ㅁ 마음 – ma-ŭm – "heart"
‘m’

ㅂ 반 – pan – "half"
An unaspirated ‘p’ at the beginning of words, and a ‘b’ in the middle of words.

ㅅ 시 – shi – "poem" 산 – san – "mountain"
‘s’
When coming before the "ee" sound, it becomes an ‘sh’

ㅇ 잉어 – ing-ŏ – "carp" 영어 – yŏng-ŏ – "English"
In the bottom of syllables, this character is like the English ‘ng’ without the ‘g’ sound. At the beginning of syllables, this character is just a place marker and has no sound.

ㅈ 자 – cha – ruler 자자 – cha-ja – "Let’s sleep"
Unaspirated ‘ch’ at the beginning of words, ‘j’ inside words.

ㅊ 차 – ch’a – "car"
Strongly aspirated ‘ch’.

ㅋ 카페 – k’a-pe – "Café"
Strongly aspirated ‘k’

ㅌ 탄내 – t’an-nae – "burnt smell"
Strongly aspirated ‘t’.

ㅍ 패 – p’ae – "medal"
Strongly aspirated ‘p’.

ㅎ 해 – hae – "sun"
‘h’
Almost silent after ㄴ, ㅁ, ㅇ, between vowels. When it comes before or followsㄱ, ㄷ,ㅂ, or ㅈ, it makes the consonants aspirated:
ㅋ, ㅌ,ㅍ, ㅊ respectively.

There are also a few double consonants that are "forticized." These consonants must be pronounced with more force than their regular counterparts, but without aspiration (this is somewhat difficult, at least for native English speakers). Here are the possible double consonants:

ㄲ Forticized ‘k.’ Written ‘kk.’ 까치 – kka-ch'i – "magpie"
ㄸ Forticized ‘t.’ Written ‘tt.’ 딸 – ttal – "daughter"
ㅃ Forticized ‘p.’ Written ‘pp.’ 빨리 – ppal-li – "quickly"
ㅆ Forticized ‘s.’ Written ‘ss.’ 쌀 – ssal – "uncooked rice"
ㅉ Forticized ‘ch.’ Written ‘tch.’ 짝 – tchak – "companion"

There are 21 possible combinations of vowels and are as follows (shown here with the place marker ㅇ to make them into real syllables):

아 Like the ‘a’ in father. 아가 – a-ga – "baby"
어 Like the British ‘augh’ in caught. “eo” 더 – tŏ – "more"
This best explained as a rounded low back vowel. It is sometimes pronounced like the ‘u’ in sun.
이 Like the ‘ee’ in tee. 피 – p’i – "blood"
오 Like the ‘o’ in ‘oh’ but more rounded. 오 – o – "five"
우 Like the ‘oo’ in boot, but more rounded/ “u” 구 – ku – "nine"
으 Like the ‘u’ in put. “eu” 그 – kŭ – "that”
We sometimes called this the "gutslash" because it seems to come from the gut.
애 Like the ‘ay’ in hay. 배 – pae – "boat"
에 Like the ‘ay’ in hay. 제 – che – "my"
This and the one before it are almost indistinguishable – even Koreans can’t tell the difference most of the time.
와 this sounds like the ‘wa’ in wand. 봐! – pwa – "look!"
A combination of 오 and 아.
워 sounds like the first part of0 "whoa." 뭐? – mwŏ – "what?"
This is a combination of 우 and 어
위 Like the English "we." 위 – wi – above
웨 Like English "way." 궤도 – kwe-do – "orbit"
왜 Like English "way." 왜? – wae – "why?"
외 Like English "way." 죄 – choe – "sin"
의 ‘ui’ 의 – ŭi – "righteousness"
A combination of 으 and 이.
This syllable is also used as the possessive marker like the "’s" in English. When such is the case, it is pronounced the same as 에.

야 Like the ‘ya’ sound in ‘yacht.’ 야! – ya – "hey"
여 similar to the ‘you’ in ‘young.’/’yeo’ 엿 – yŏt – "taffy"
요 Like the ‘yo’ in ‘yo wassup.’ 요 – yo – "bedspread"
유 ‘yoo/yu’ 우유 – u-yu – "milk"
얘 Like the English ‘ya’ 얘기 – yae-gi – "story"
예 Like the ‘ye’ in ‘yet.’ 예 – ye – "yes"
