My mother is korean, and I've asked many times this question. She said it's something about the mouth position. 20 years and I still can't tell the difference.
@@28rizzons There's no korean word with a silent ㅎ and there's also no "rr~" sound in the korean alphabet. The closest is ㄹ which is pronounced like a mix of the english L and R.

true, even it so easy to learn the vowel and consonants even they are so many, like (19 consonants and 21 vowels), but some of them will be change from original pronunciation to others depends on the situation, and when you conjugate the word there's a lot of exception,
That’s a glitch type of thingy bro because when u see the thumbnail in your homepage it shows 1 minute but when u see the video it shows 59 seconds/ 59:00
@@Thinking_about_Varija thats not a glitch bro youtube this video length is in decimal number and youtube does not give decimal numbers in a video length. This video maybe 59.4 seconds so yt gave it as 59 seconds if it would be 59.6 seconds it would be 1 minute
Learning the alphabet of a language vs speaking the actual language are two complete different things. You have to learn the connotations and sentence structures too when learning a new language. And don't even get me started on when you mix two languages together xD
I was waiting for this impatiently, cuz the last ep left me in tears and I was so curious.....which I become after every ep. Hehe 😁 But still it was more this time... Love you rafae❤️ Most consistent author ever seen and will see, literally you never disappoint us 🥹
The alphabets are easy to learn, not the language. You can learn the alphabets in a day or two if you practice it over and over but learning it is no joke.
You read what you wrote in Turkish. For example, if you wrote "c" in English, you may pronounce it like "k" or "s". But in Turkish language, you pronounce what you wrote: if you wrote "k", you pronounce it "k" always. However, Turkish is a quite hard language for foreign people. Turkish is a suffix based language. If you are wondered, you can search.
As a person who is learning Korean, I can assure you it isn't as easy at it looks. Yes, the alphabets are easy to know but the way you talk, the grammar, the formality of your speech, the meaning of all the words, it all matters
@@mylifeispain2984 the grammar is nothing like English grammar Ex: in English we would say I like you plain and sinple In korean however 나는 너를 좋아해(요)I you like. 나 means me/I, 너 means you, 좋아 is a verb means like and 좋아해 means to like. 는 and 를 are particles. 는 is an idea particle (me) 를 is an object particle so the object of the sentence. There are quite some particles. 는/은=idea particles 이/가 =subject particles 를/을= object particles ㄹ ㄱ and ㄴ are consonants so if the word ex. 애기(baby) ends in a vowel we put a particle starting in a consonant. And vice versa. Also there has to be atleast one consonant in each syllable. That's why ㅇ exists. It's a consonant but it is silent. Ex. 우유 would be read as oo-yoo ㅜ is oo and ㅠ is yoo but there are ㅇ's which are the placeholder consonants. Honorifics are like respect levels Ex: 안녕=this is a very basic hi. You use it for people who are younger than you 안녕하세요 = this is hello for people who are older and more respectable(ex. Your boss) 안녕하십니까 = this is very respectable. Not sure about the context as I'm still learning but you get the picture Also Honorifics are usually for verbs Hope you learned something lol
I literally learned hangul during one shift as a night auditor. Still I can't speak Korean but it makes Korean customers smile whenever I can read their name in hangul and that's actually how I met my wife.

well in the 15C when Korean alphabetical system was initially invented, they were exactly pronounced as it was written. But like all the other language, it has changed as time goes by. Today, 았 앗 앟 앚 앛 앋 are all pronunciated the same if they are written individually. I guess this happened due to the economics of language.
the problem is that English has a massive phoneme inventory, and lots of letters can represent many different phonemes. just think of the "ough" in these: enough, though, cough, plough, hiccough, thought, ... or that 'a' (similar for most vowel letters, actually) can represent almost any vowel sound: car, cat, range, area, bra, war, wary, about, pirate meanwhile, in Hangul, if you see ㅏ, you know it's pronounced as "a", no matter what.
Actually nas only can read. But to remember all the words and the meaning. It took over a year too. My friend learning korean language. She said. To understand the basic words she took 5 month - 1 year. And to master all the words, depends on yourself. She took 3 years.... For me, to master some language we have to keep practice.( reading, writing, speaking). 💃

Awesome video. But just FYI: it wasn’t just “adopted” by Koreans because it is “easy,” but it is our national language developed by our King Sejong for the people to read, write and speak. Love your videos. I learn so much from you about things and people of the world. Keep going Nas!
There are more silent letters, depending on the word. For example "닭" should be pronounced "dalg" but is pronounced "dag" instead. Overall though, definitely the easiest alphabet to learn.
He's kinda oversimplifying it but Hangeul really is very logical and simple. Learning it in one day is not overstating things. It was designed hundreds of years ago on the initiative of King Sejong the Great to increase literacy rates, but was not immediately adopted by later rulers bc it was so effective it would empower the lower classes
As a korean, to add to your last info, it was not adopted right away because at that time korea was hugely influenced by China ans many governors(?) were conservative and wanted to keep using chinese letters because they felt like using your own alphabet was “rude” to China. However I am so glad that we now ise Hangul so i dont have to memorize literally thousands of chinese letters, even though they’re freaking cool, im okay with 24 lol nice info btw :) yeah also, King Sejong is the most respected King in korean history :) he was known for being very kind too!
@@baldpika8693 If it comes in a syllable block as the first letter, it's silent. However, if it is the third letter in a syllable block, it produces the "ng" sound.
@@ilh_1057 it takes, at least, 6 months for English speaking person to learn it at sufficient level. It's in level 4 DLAB so, it's hard and requires alot of time than other languages.
"It doesn't have silent letters" Except it does, ㅇ (ieung) which is silent at the start of a syllable but makes "-ng" if at the end Example of silent ㅇ : 요 (yo) Example of "-ng" ㅇ : 랑 (lang)
I’m Korean and there are silent letters? like ㅇ and there are also words with other silent letters too. For example 닭(chicken) which phonetically would be dalk but it’s dak. Plus, there are 2 different letters for ‘eh’, ㅐ and ㅔ which depend on the word. But if you’re just talking about the alphabet it’s mostly easy, but the language is entirely different. Like we have 3 different versions of thank you for different people. Some words are also context based like fish, which can be 생선 or 물고기. Also, just so you know, the mouth thing where you did “O”, you did it upside down, it’s 오. It’s not good to spread misinformation.
@@joshithav18 But it's still is a silent letter even if there is words where you pronounce it Listening and Telling ,T is considered a silent letter even if it's pronounced in telling
Bro it's actually pretty easy to learn Hangul letters. But then, when they're framed...it's difficult to read. And from the moment you start using 3 alphabets in a place...you will know its no joke
Im a Korean and I'm so happy and proud to see people learning and having interest in our language! Mastering letters will be easy but the grammar might be i little hard (I mess up sometimes too lol) but I know that if u learn the beauty inside of it you will love korea! Kpop is mostly what we are known for but also try out learning our traditions too!😍😍
Learning the letters, yeah I managed to learn it in 2 hours. But mastering it is hard. Every single stroke of line matters, as little change can completely change the words'/sentences' meanings. Pronounciation and grammar construction takes a long time too.
mm I'm korean and I have to say, korean's pronunciation is actually kinda easy bc the letters "ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂ..." are based on what your mouth does when your pronouncing them. for example, when you pronounce ㄱ, your mouth uh make that shape if that makes sense
No silent letters : ㅇ at the beginning of the syllable ㅐand ㅔ which used to be different, but are now the same But yeah, except those parts, hangeul is quite easy to learn
There is silent letters like "ㅎ" for example 하얗게 and there's double consonants "ㄴㅅ" "ㄴㅈ" "ㄴㅎ" "ㄹㄱ" "ㄹㅁ" "ㄹㅂ" "ㄹㅅ" "ㄹㅌ" "ㄹㅎ" "ㄹㅍ" and "ㅂㅅ" and I'm a student in korea 4th grade and the 바다쓰기 (teacher after saying and after that you have to right) there's some consonants sound different like 외 sound like 왜 and some sound same like 외,왜,웨 so korean is very hard "for" me (edit there's way more different and difficult things but I forgot 😢 and there's 51 letters in the alphabet total)
Isn't that the case for any language? I mean, many (most?) languages use latin/roman alphabet, maybe with a few additions like ä or ß, but it doesn't mean anyone who know the alphabets automatically become multilingual.
@@Alexei2Brandwob1 exactly you can't learn a whole new language in 30 mins And plus the words are hard to pronounce, I am currently trying to learn the language
Me trying to learn Korean for months now but can only speak only some basic sentences, write some sentences which I have already learned and read. But when it comes to listen and write I am out of my mind for a second.
"Easy to learn" - yes. "What you write is exactly what you say" - no. It has some tricky diphthongs. Pronunciation of almost each consonant differs in accordance to its place in a word. And one should not forget about palatalization!
Well he said the alphabet not the language. Tbf compared to english probably a breeze. Even natives english speakers have trouble with their own language
