What if we told you that even if youve never studied Korean
a day in your life, you already know plenty of words!
!
How is this possible? Perhaps you were a Korean scholar in
your past life? Or maybe your roommate has been secretly
teaching you in your sleep.

While those may be possibilities, the more likely scenario is

because of a good friend of oursKonglish!

For words that werent in the traditional Korean language,
Koreans simply took the English word and sounded it out in
Hangeul (Korean alphabet).
!
This is great news for you, because you can start saying
words in Korean from the get-go without having to pick up a
single book.

There is one thing you need to take into account, and that is
pronunciation.
!
Since were sounding out English words in Korean, the
words may sometimes sound slightly different than the
standard English pronunciation. Some will sound identical,
and some will sound a bit different to you.
!
Lets take a look:
!
(menu) Pronounced exactly like the English word
!
(orange) Pronounced similar to orange.
However, there is an extra syllable in the Korean version.
Therefore, the pronunciation sounds like o-ren-ji
!
Yikes! How do I know when the pronunciation is slightly
different than English? Great question.
!

that pronunciation. And since youve already learned how to

So, if you kick things off with the pronunciation o-ren-ji, you
already get bonus points! Koreans will recognize your
language skills, so you will get more Korean speaking
opportunities if you want them. Stepping up as King of
Konglish reaps many benefits!
