Learning Hangeul
In Korean, simple vowels can be combined to form compound vowels.
There are 11 compound vowels in Hangeul.
The vowel ㅐ is pronounced [ae], like the "e" in "men".
The vowel ㅒ is pronounced [yae], like the "ye" in "yesterday".
The vowel ㅔ is pronounced [e], like the "e" in "egg".
ㅐ and ㅔ are not distinguished in modern pronunciation. They sound the same.
The vowel ㅖ is pronounced [ye], like the "ye" in "yellow".
ㅒ and ㅖ are not distinguished in modern pronunciation. They sound the same.
The vowel ㅘ is pronounced [wa], like the "wa" in "watch".
The vowel ㅙ is pronounced [wae], like the "we" in "wet".
The vowel ㅚ is pronounced [we], like the "we" in "wet".
The vowel ㅝ is pronounced [wo], like the "wo" in "wonder".
The vowel ㅞ is pronounced [we], like the "we" in "wet".
ㅙ, ㅚ and ㅞ have very similar pronunciations.
The vowel ㅟ is pronounced [wi], like the "wi" in "wig".
The vowel ㅢ has no exact equivalent in English. It starts with the sound ㅡ [eu] (produced with stretched lips rather than rounded) followed quickly by ㅣ [i].
