			**Romanization is based on the English use of the Latin alphabet. If that is not your native language, you have to 'think back' how you would pronounce these letters in English. For example 'ㅈ' is in romanization 'j'. But the 'j' in Dutch, German or Spanish is not at all like the 'j' in English. That can be confusing, especially when you try to read in a high pace.

	==~~De ce să înveți alfabetul coreean~~?==		==Why Learn the Korean Alphabet?==
	~~Unii oameni consideră că învățarea limbii coreene romanizate este suficientă și nu-și dau seama cât de mult ii reţine de la a progresa în coreeană~~. ~~Mai jos sunt câteva motive~~ simple ~~pentru care limba coreeana romanizată nu este bună~~.		Some people feel that learning Romanized Korean is sufficient and do not realize how much it holds them back from becoming better at Korean. Below are some simple reasons why Korean Romanization is bad.

	*'''~~Sunetele englezeşti şi sunetele coreene nu sunt aceleaşi~~.''' ~~Ar avea sens să încercaţi să învăţaţi limba engleză folosind alfabetul coreean~~? ~~Mai ales atunci când nu există literele~~ F, V, Z ~~și nici sunetele corespunzătoare în coreeană~~? ~~Evident~~, ~~coreeana nu conține toate sunetele din limba engleză și în același sens~~, ~~limba engleză nu conține toate sunetele din coreeană~~.~~Prin urmare, alfabetul englez nu poate reprezenta cu acuratețe sunetele din limba coreeană~~. ~~Dacă cineva vrea să învețe limba engleză~~, ~~ar trebui să învețe alfabetul englez și sunetele sale~~. ~~În același sens~~, ~~în cazul în care cineva dorește să învețe coreeană~~, ~~ar trebui să învețe alfabetul coreean și sunetele sale~~.		*'''English sounds and Korean sounds are not the same.''' Would it make sense to try to learn English using the Korean alphabet? Especially when there are no F, V, and Z sounds in Korean? Obviously Korean does not contain all the sounds of English, and in the same sense, English does not contain all the sounds of Korean. Therefore the English alphabet cannot accurately represent the sounds of Korean. If one wants to learn English, one should learn the English alphabet and its sounds. In the same sense, if one wants to learn Korean, one should learn the Korean alphabet and its sounds.
	*'' '~~Romanizarea limbii coreene este înșelătoare și ambiguă~~.'		*'''Korean Romanization is misleading and ambiguous.'''
	**~~Dacă cineva nu are nici un fel de experiență cu coreeana şi foloseşte o carte cu fraze de călătorie cu coreeana romanizată~~, ~~pronunția va fi complet greşită~~. ~~De exemplu~~, ~~cum ați pronunța cuvântul romanizat "~~neon"? ~~Ca și "~~ni-~~Yon", sau mai aproape de "~~nun"? ~~Pronunția cuvântului este mai aproape de "~~nun~~", dar cum aţi putea ști asta atunci când este scris ca şi cuvântul englezesc "~~neon?"		**If one has no experience with Korean at all and uses a book with travel phrases with Romanized Korean, the pronunciation will be totally off. For example, how would you pronounce the Romanized word 'neon' ? Like 'ni-yon' or closer to 'nun'? The pronunciation is closer to 'nun' but how would you know that when it is spelled like the English word 'neon?'
	**~~Există diverse sisteme de romanizare și uneori este greu să știi care dintre ele este utilizat~~. ~~De exemplu~~, ~~numele patinatorului medaliat cu aur la olimpiadă~~ "Kim Yuna" (김연아) ~~nu este romanizat în mod tradițional~~, ~~ci este scris mai aproape de pronunția în limba engleză~~.		**There are various Romanization systems and sometimes it is hard to know which system one is using. For example, the gold medal Olympic skater "Kim Yuna" (김연아) is not romanized in the traditional way, but is instead spelled closer to its English pronunciation. If it were assumed it was from the Revised Romanization System, it would sound like Yoona, not Yuna since yu represents ㅠ not ㅕ.
	~~Daca presupunem că ar fi fost romanizat în sistemul revizuit~~, ~~ar suna ca~~ Yoona, nu Yuna ~~deoarece~~ yu ~~reprezintă~~ ㅠ not ㅕ.		**There is no such sounds as Woo and Yi and it is impossible to write in Korean, yet sometimes the sound ㅜ gets spelled as Woo and 이 gets spelled as Yi.
	**~~Nu există sunete cum ar fi~~ Woo şi Yi ~~şi este imposibil să le scrii în coreeană~~, ~~totuşi uneori sunetul~~ ㅜ ~~este scris ca~~ Woo şi 이 ~~este scris ca~~ Yi.
