안녕하세요你好

韩文元音由横线、竖线和点组成。先学六个基本元音，再学四个带"y"音的元音。

• ㅏalike the "a" in "father" · mouth open, vertical line + dot on the right
• ㅓeolike the "u" in "but" · vertical line + dot on the left
• ㅗolike the "o" in "more" · horizontal line + dot on top, lips rounded
• ㅜulike the "oo" in "boot" · horizontal line + dot below, lips rounded
• ㅡeuno English equivalent — say "oo" with unrounded, spread lips · single horizontal line, lips spread flat
• ㅣilike the "ee" in "see" · single vertical line, lips spread wide
• ㅑyalike "ya" in "yard" · ㅏ with two dots
• ㅕyeolike "yu" in "young" · ㅓ with two dots
• ㅛyolike "yo" in "yoga" · ㅗ with two dots
• ㅠyulike "you" · ㅜ with two dots

辅音的形状模仿发音时嘴和舌头的样子。今天学五个辅音，以及没有声音的 ㅇ。韩语辅音的发音会随位置略有变化。

• ㄱg / kbetween "g" in "go" and "k" in "ski" · back of tongue at the soft palate
• ㄴnlike "n" in "no" · tongue tip behind upper teeth
• ㄷd / tbetween "d" in "do" and "t" in "stop" · tongue tip at the ridge behind teeth
• ㄹr / la soft flap between "r" and "l" — like the "tt" in American "butter" · tongue tip taps the ridge (flap)
• ㅁmlike "m" in "me" · lips together, voice through nose
• ㅇsilent / ngsilent as an initial (아 = "a"); "ng" as a final (강 = "gang") · a circle — placeholder at the start, "ng" at the end

韩文把辅音和元音组合在一个方块里，形成音节块。竖着的元音（ㅏㅣ）写在辅音右边，横着的元音（ㅗㅜㅡ）写在辅音下面。

现在我们来一个字一个字地读第一句问候：
