This PDF is for Part 2 of the series “How to read and write Hangeul”. If you have not studied with

Part 1 yet, please go check out Part 1 before you study with this portion of the series.

and the vowels ㅐ, ㅔ, ㅓ, ㅡ.

ㅅ has the sound value of [s].

ㅂ has the sound value of [b].

ㅈ has the sound value of [ j] or [z]. It’s stronger than the English [ j] but less strong as [z].

ㄹ has the sound value of somewhere between [r] and [l]. It’s stiffer than [r] but softer than [l].

ㅐ has the sound value of [ae/e].

▶ 새 [sae] 배 [bae] 재 [ jae] 래 [rae] 애 [ae]

ㅔ has the same sound value as ㅐ . These two vowels used to have different sounds but not

any longer.

ㅓ is a vowel that is difficult to be romanized correctly, but it’s usually romanized as [eo]. It has

the sound value similar to ‘ea’ in ‘earth’, ‘a’ in ‘an’, ‘i’ in ‘girl’, or ‘u’ in ‘understand’.
