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.
Six phrases you can use today
Start with 안녕하세요 (hello), name your drink, and finish your request with 주세요 (please give me). You do not need a long sentence to be polite. Listen to each phrase, say it out loud, then try the conversation below.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.
