1 Practising Korean vowel sounds
In the list below all the twenty-one Korean vowels are given with approximate Australian English
equivalents. As we will learn in the next unit, each of the twenty-one Korean vowels – not just ‘single’
vowels (ie a, e, o, u and i) but also ‘complex’ vowels (eg ae, ya, wa, etc) – is represented as a
different vowel symbol in Hangeul. Let’s practise the sounds.
a as in part
ae as in cable
ya as in yard
yae as in yabby
eo as in pot
e as in pet
yeo as in yonder
ye as in yet
o as in port
wa as in wonder
wae as in wag
oe as in wet

2 Practising Korean consonant sounds

What are the consonants that you have in your language but not in Korean?
• As mentioned in the main text, b, d, g and j are pronounced the same
as in English, except when they occur sentence-initially. In this case
they are pronounced as p, t, k and ch, respectively. Now practise
reading the following expressions.
ban-chan a-beo-ji don pa-do
g side dishes father money waves
kk as in sky gom a-gi Jo-a-yo a-ju
bear baby That’s good! very much
n
• Korean r is a ‘flap’ r. Although replacing r with English r does not
d bring about a meaning change, you should know r is produced by a
tt as in stop single, quick flap of the tongue against the alveolar ridge – the inward
projection of the gums between the upper teeth and the hard palate.
r/l Ask your instructor for a demonstration. Now practise.
m sa-rang gu-reum da-ri Geu-rae-yo
b love clouds bridge That’s right!
pp as in spot • Korean l is a ‘retroflex’ l. You produce a retroflex l sound in the same

manner as you do an l, except that your tongue tip should be placed on
s the hard palate, not at the back of the upper teeth. Now practise.
ss sal-lim Mol-la-yo Dal-la-yo gil
ng as in sing house keeping I don’t know. It’s different. road
j • A doubled consonant, ie
pp, tt, ss, jj or kk,
jj indicates tensed
bul ppul pul
ch pronunciation. In English
fire horn grass
tensed consonants do not
k dal ttal tal
constitute separate sound
the moon daughter mask
t categories for
geun kkeun keun
distinguishing between
p root string large
words, but tensed
Ja-yo Jja-yo Cha-yo
h consonants do exist. For
I’m sleeping. It’s salty! It’s cold!
example, the p, t and k
sal ssal
sounds in s clusters are
flesh rice
tensed consonants – such
as spot, stop and sky. Now
practise.
• By convention, s and ss shall be pronounced respectively as sh and ‘tensed’ sh (ie sh with a
stronger hiss) if they are followed by i or y. When you read si, for instance, you should not
read it in the same way of naming the English letter c but as she.
si-heom si Sim-sim-hae-yo Me-i-seun-ssi
exam peom I’m bored! Mr Mason

and if they are available, we also practise asking for them.
If you take the shopkeeper’s role, cover the right Column, listen carefully what your partner says,
and respond. Things that you have in your shop are listed below.
If you take the customer’s role, cover the left Column, and ask your partner if he/she has the things
that you need, one by one. If your partner says yes, then ask for it. Things that you need are in the
frame below.

5 More Hangeul Reading and Writing ...

Have a look at the following words. They include Korean words of English origin, countries’ names,
and English first names. As you read through, you will find that at least one of the Hangeul characters
in each word is not right – it is upside-down, rotated, etc. Your task is to locate the ‘funny’ character
and re-write the word as it is supposed to be. See if you can finish this exercise within two minutes.

7 Making New Words ...

Korean nouns usually combine quite freely with each other, and being aware of the combinations can
help us to expand our vocabulary at a rapid rate. Look at the following words, and discuss their
meanings with your instructor. All of them combine elements from the vocabulary lists we’ve studied
so far.

2 What’s the left of the first row?

Do the same as above. This time, however, we are practising ‘identifying’ various places. The
expression, eg, the left of the first row, is not used here to designate the location whereon something is,
and thus we don’t need to use the particle -< V. What we are practising here is simply saying “Where, ie,
what place, is the left of the first row?” — “It’s a classroom,” and so on.

9 When are you free?

This is a class activity to help you practice asking when people are free. Look at the timetable below
and mark with a cross the times in a week when you are usually busy.
The Situation: Your Korean class was disrupted last week and your teacher has asked you to find
time for an extra class. Various students in your class have various commitments – just as you have, and
a time will have to be negotiated. To do this, form a group of four or five and liaise with each other to
find a time when everyone is free.
Here are some useful phrases.

10 Let’s sing: Arirang

There can be few countries in the world where communal singing is more a feature of life than is the
case with Korea. Singing is an almost obligatory part of informal partying, and the visitor would be
well advised to come prepared to offer a song. Best of all, of course, would be to come with a Korean
song, and without doubt the best-known of these is Arirang. Arirang is a folk song, sung on the
indigenous Korean five-note scale, and like many folk songs it is not always easy to trace it back in
time. It mainly consists of a distinctive chorus with multiple verses which are not always linked in
meaning very noticeably to the chorus. What is certain is that it is the most easily recognisable tune in
Korea, and well worth taking the time to learn.

Like many folk songs, the literal meaning of Arirang is not very susceptible to analysis and there is
little or no thematic continuity in the verses. Everyone has their own special understanding of what the
song really means – our understanding is as follows.
The Chorus: The chorus suggests a tone of lament – literally ‘(My love) has gone over the hill.’
Verse 1: (The idea) ‘He’s thrown me over and gone, but he won’t even go ten li before he gets
footsore.’ implying that he will come straight back again.
Verse 2: (The idea) ‘It’s been a season of plenty all through the land.’ – no discernible connection
with Verse 1, but a cheering sentiment in a song that is heavily used as a farming and rice-planting song.
Verse 3: (The idea) ‘There are as many stars in the sky as there are sorrows in my heart.’ – a
somewhat conventional expression of sentimentalised sorrow.

NEGATIVE ANSWER: WF

In case you haven’t met ‘¢WF

of negativity effectively – and more politely – than a brusque ‘ x§’.

1. You want to go to the beach tomorrow, and you want your friends to go with you. You ask them
what they’re doing, and would they like to go to the seaside.
2. They say yes, suggest you all go together, and ask if you’ve got a car.
3. You say you have, and ask whereabouts should you all meet.
4. They suggest the station, and ask where you’re planning to go.
5. You say Seaview (

®) Beach is good.
6. They ask how far is it?
7. You tell them it’s twenty kilometres, and that it should take half an hour to get there.
8. They ask you what time you should leave.
9. You suggest nine o’clock, and that you’ll arrive at the beach at nine thirty.
10. Perhaps because all these details make you sound like a tour guide, they ask, as a joke, how much
the fare will be.
11. You answer twenty dollars a person!

6 Conversation: the Family (1)

Form yourselves into groups, designate who will be @ M
} û #1, #2, #3, #4, and then fill in the

questionnaire sheet about family members below. Mark the appropriate boxes with ticks and crosses.
Remember that this is not just an automatic tick-off exercise, but a real-life conversation activity.
This means that you should take into account what you can see and what you may already know about
the members of your group. It wouldn’t be appropriate, for example, to ask young undergraduates if
they have children, and so on.
The types of questions you will need to ask are:

Now we’re inviting you to introduce one of your colleagues to the class on the basis of the
information gained during that exercise, and to help you we’ve set out a standard format below. Where
the format doesn’t fit the case of the person whom you’re introducing, you’ll need to improvise.
Note that this is a formal situation, and so we use formal language.

major foreign language they speak, and 5) the university they attend in Korea. Your task is to consult

basically involve the following actions, but you can add to them if you want to.
