A rough reading aid, not exact pronunciation. Hyphens separate syllables. Listen first, then try with hints hidden. “eu” is said with unrounded lips; “uh” only approximates ㅓ. Doubled consonants are tense, not extra syllables. Do not add a vowel after a final consonant.
Read, compare and repeat
Build confidence reading Korean words without relying only on romanization. Practice familiar syllables and hear simple final-consonant linking before a vowel-starting particle.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.

gabang
Bag
가 + 방. Watch the final ㅇ.
모자

모 + 자. Two blocks with no final consonants.

Try the whole words before checking the guide.

Include the final consonants.
집에, 문이
Keep the spelling; listen to how the sounds connect.
한국에 가요
I go / am going to Korea. Listen to the whole phrase.
Try it for yourself
Use the word cards in the practice room. Read aloud before revealing the meaning and block breakdown. The goal is to recognize familiar words more comfortably, not to guess the meaning of every new Korean word.
Make yourself heard.
Listen once. Record yourself saying the phrase, then listen back.
가방, 모자, 우유, 집에
