Diphthongs

Diphthongs are defined as: a complex vowel sound in which the first vowel gradually moves toward a second vowel so that both vowels form one syllable, e.g. "a" and "i" in "rail"(source). The vowels we are learning are a combination of vowels we already learned. For example ㅘ is a combination of ㅗ and ㅏ. A lot of these are pronounced but saying the first vowel and the second vowel quickly, however you will notice that all of these sounds (except ㅢ) make a /w/ sound in front.

ㅘ (vowel)

ㄲ (consonant)

ㅘ is a combination of the vertical vowel ㅗ and the horizontal vowel ㅏ. This sounds you are pronouncing ㅗ and ㅏ together, but with a /w/ sound in front. Sounds similar to the 'wa' in 'want.' For full information about this letter, see .
