Audition Global

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

^ - weh (as in web)

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.

Oh wow xD thanks for this! <3
