    Korean Alphabet

    Consonant
    Fortunately, as you will find them below, most of them work in the
    same format (consonant + l + + consonant)
    as in for the name of
    However, there are three exceptional consonants, which have their
    own unique names. Ive marked them with asterisk.
    Also, some names are difficult to pronounce. This is due to the
    unrelease or closure of word-final consonants in Korean.
    For example, when in (the name of ) is pronounced,
    the outcome is [ot]. Thats because the sound involved for is
    not released.

    However, in modern Korean, some vowels have no big
    difference in sound.
    You simply just need to learn how to spell some words
    in Korean, just like in English.
