Consonants - 19 (14 main and 5 constituent).

The creation of consonants is based on 5 initial letters:
(To- at first / G
(n )
(m )
(With )
(not at the beginning / eyn- in the middle or at the end of a syllable)
Next, the remaining consonants were formed:
(T- at the beginning of a syllable / d- in the middle or at the end of a syllable)
(R- at the beginning of a syllable / l- in the middle or at the end of a syllable)
(P- at the beginning of a syllable / b- in the middle or at the end of a syllable)
(zh )
(h )
(kh )
(tx )
(ph )
(X )
These were 5 basic consonants and 9 consonants formed from them, but there are also 5 double consonants:
(ky )
(You )
(py )
(ss )
(tsy )
As we can see, each double consonant is formed from two main consonants. The pronunciation of these consonants is very short but stronger than that of ordinary consonants. In total we got 19 consonants, 14 main and 5 double.

The creation of vowels is based on 2 letters:
(s )
(And )
Next, the remaining main vowels were formed:
(oo )
(e )
(at )
(Yu )
(A )
(I )
(O )
(yo )
These are the basic vowels. There are also so-called diffthongs, these are complex vowels:
(uh )
(yeah )
(e )
(yeah )
(th )
(oh )
(oa )
(oe )
(ui )
(woah )

Everything is simple here, diphthongs are formed in the same way as double consonants. So, in total we have 21 vowels, of which 10 are main and 11 are diphthongs.

P.S. The materials on learning the Korean language posted on the site were written by one of our users who is studying at a Korean school. Since such lessons were created by an unprofessional teacher, they may contain errors (typos in Russian) and discrepancies (in the rules of the Korean language, such as “zh” and “j” or “ua” or “va”). We ask you to treat such materials as an additional tool to test your knowledge. Basically, these lessons are published on the site for users who cannot attend Korean language courses in their hometown.

Korean is easy to learn if you immerse yourself deeply in the culture and society. Russians who strive to master the Korean language from scratch establish good relationships with Koreans.

How long does it take to learn Korean?

Many people wonder if learning the Korean language is difficult and in what time frame it is possible to understand it. All training is carried out as individually as possible. Each person has the right to determine the required level of language proficiency. Also, not all people have the skills to learn languages. The city where the training takes place is also of great importance - the capital provides experienced teachers, small cities do not have such specialists at all. Is it easy to learn the Korean language - only with great motivation, learning will proceed without problems, because a person is maximally interested in getting a high result.

Is it difficult to learn Korean as a beginner?

Each student learns differently. Anyone who has previously studied German and English finds the Korean language quite difficult. However, comparing it with Japanese, Vietnamese or Chinese languages, we can confidently say that its development is much easier. The characters of the Korean alphabet are simpler than the Japanese ones, and audio pronunciation is also easier for all students.

Ways to learn Korean

  • Learning vocabulary. To expand your vocabulary, you need to use literature in Korean, newspaper sources, television programs, films and TV series. Experts advise starting with children's books, which are usually written in simple language, and only then moving on to the press, literature and cinema;
  • Mastering grammar. It is necessary to focus on reading newspapers and books that have a written Russian translation, this will allow you to understand the accents as correctly as possible;
  • Auditory perception. You should start listening to music, watching Korean programs, and best of all, having dialogues with native speakers;
  • Colloquial. Foreign guests living in Korea have a great opportunity to have conversations with Korean residents. But even while at home, you can use the Internet to find an interlocutor who speaks Korean, who will correct and point out mistakes during the dialogue;
  • Mastering writing. Through online learning, you can gain Korean writing skills. By finding sites where texts written by students can be checked by Koreans and errors corrected, you can significantly improve the learning of writing.
