Korean
 

Hi everyone, im learing korean and how do you know when ㄹ is translated as a L or R?

ask koreanforum.com

if i did that then this is what i would have to do....
1. make an account
2. find out how to post a thread
3. wait for a reply.

and since i already have a account on here and posted a thread about it then that would knock out the first two steps, and im pretty sure they are koreans on here.

OR you could just ask me nicely ;)

I believe that could be taken as done when the first post in this thread went up. You did respond and...

*looks up*

...weren't helpful. So how about reversing that, hm?

FINE

ㄹ - Here's a source of much trepidation. At the beginning of a word, this is r. When surrounded by vowels on both sides, it's also r. When there's a consonant directly after it, it's r again. It can also be L, but only at the end of a word or when followed by another ㄹ and its respective vowel. This is why you'll see lalala written in hangeul as 랄랄라, because 라라라 would be rarara. Unlike Japanese, there is an L sound in Korean!! When next to ㄴ (either before or after), it makes the ll sound.

Thought you were on my side, Koir?

oh okay thank you. i started learning korean yesterday.

Okay another question...how do i know when ㄱ is a G or K?
and how do i know when ㄷ is a T or D? Please?

Hey, I'm just trying to be helpful and bring out your potential? :)

You decided you'd start learning or you actively started learning? Best thing i can say is to buy a book, seriously. Learn as much of that as you can, then ask for help if you need it.

Why Korean instead of Japanese?

erm.. Thanks.. I think.

i actively started learning, and bc i listen to korean music also and i think its also an interesting language...is it a bad thing that im learning korean instead of japanese?
