    I spent an hour typing it up earlier, but when GN sent me a link it opened in the goaudi window and the entire post was lost (oppa i not blaming you!). So I shall finish it when I have time, but for now I shall get you all started with the basic pronunciation of each Hangul letter, and I will add the exceptions soon (probably tomorrow ^^)

    Also, if you ever have any questions on anything found in this thread, just reply and I will do my best to answer ^^

    Consonants:
    1 - k
    2 - kk (tensed - I will explain this later)
    4 - n
    7 - t
    8 - tt (tensed)
    9 - r,l
    A - m
    B - p
    C - pp (tensed)
    E - s (t at the end of a syllable)
    F - ss (tt when followed by a consonant)
    G - silent at the beginning of a syllable, ng at the end
    H - ch
    I - ch (tensed)
    J - ch (aspirated - a puff of air should escape as you say it)
    K - k (aspirated)
    L - t (aspirated)
    M - p (aspirated)
    N - h

    Vowels:

    O - a
    S - eo
    W - o
    \ - u (pronounced oo)
    a - eu
    c - i (pronounced ee)
    P - ae
    T - eh
    Q - ya
    U - yeo
    [ - yo
    ` - yu
    R - yae
    V - yeh
    Z - oe
    X - wa
    Y - wae
    ] - weo
    ^ - weh (as in web)
    _ - wi (pronounced wee)
    b - uey

    This is the basic pronunciation for each letter, but there are quite a few exceptions which seem complicated at first, but really aren't so hard once you get accustomed to them. Let's look at them now:

    Exceptions/Changes to standard pronunciations:

    1.) Changes affecting 9 and 4

    a.) Pronounce 4 as L when it is next to 9
    examples: Ԩ (weollam),

    No problem ^^ I'm almost done now, but my Ganada book is a little confusing when it comes to pronunciation of a double final consonant so I'm trying to find more clarification on that before I post.
