==Learning Hangeul==
 
I propose a 6 step program for learning Hangeul.
 
*Each step will teach you 3-5 vowels and 3-5 consonants depending on the step. For example first step might teach the person ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㅁ (consonants) and 아, 어, 이.
 
*These pages won't go into detail too much and will teach the basic pronunciation.
 
*Show the stroke order for characters
 
*Audio clips for individual sounds (must be voiced by a native speaker).
 
*Audio clips for words in the section (must be voiced by a native speaker).
 
*Gradually introduce things like 받침 sounds
 
 
===Steps===
 
Possible steps:
 
*Step 1: [ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㅁ,ㅂ], [아,어,오,우]
 
*Step 2: [ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㄹ], [이,애,에,으]
 
*Step 3: [ㅋ,ㅌ,ㅊ,ㅍ], [야,여,요,유,얘,예]
 
*Step 4: 받침 sounds
 
*Step 5: [ㄲ,ㄸ,ㅆ,ㅃ], [와,왜,외,워,웨,위,의]
 
*Old Korean: Letters that are not used anymore (might be interesting for advanced users or those wishing to research Hangeul in depth)
 
 
I'd like it to explain the easier sounds first.

==Project underway==
 +
This project is officially underway as I've purchased a great digital voice recorder. Before recording begins in few days we must carefully select the sounds we want recorded. Some general information:
 +
*Record will be probaly start on 8/3/09, giving us some time to finalize exactly how we want to do this and which sounds we want to use.
 +
*We don't introduce the 받침 until step 4, so the first four steps should not include a 받침.
 +
*

Should we do simple vowels first?  ㅔ and ㅐ aren't simple so they should probably go after ㅓ,ㅏ,etc. --[[User:Mstrum|Mstrum]] 19:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 06:45, 29 July 2009

I'm using this talk page to propose a format for the Hangeul pages. This section should be completed in the very near future as it's frequently visited. -WikiSysop 16:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Individual pages

Each Hangeul letter(자모) should have a detailed page:

  • Basic sound
  • Sound in the initial position (with audio)
  • Sound in the middle position (with audio)
  • Sound in the final 받침 position (with audio)
  • Other sounds this letter is capable of making (i.e. through consonant assimilation)
  • Background information on the character, for example where it was derived from.
  • IPA
  • Stroke order diagram
  • Stroke order animation
  • Links to any consonant assimilation rule that applies to this character
  • Plenty of examples with audio
  • Every possible way to write the character, some characters have many variations.

We can build the main example to copy to the rest at .

Project underway

This project is officially underway as I've purchased a great digital voice recorder. Before recording begins in few days we must carefully select the sounds we want recorded. Some general information:

  • Record will be probaly start on 8/3/09, giving us some time to finalize exactly how we want to do this and which sounds we want to use.
  • We don't introduce the 받침 until step 4, so the first four steps should not include a 받침.

step 2

  • Do not introduce 받침 yet, so no examples should have 받침
  • Add fake examples with real examples,

Examples to add later:

  • ㄱ and ㅏ: 가 (go)
  • ㄱ,ㄴ,ㅏ,ㅜ: 누, 나 (I) , 구 (nine)
  • ㄱ,ㄴ,ㅁ,ㅏ,ㅜ,ㅗ: 모, 마, 무, 고, 노
  • ㄱ,ㄴ,ㅁ,ㄷ,ㅏ,ㅜ,ㅗ,ㅣ: 디, 다, 두, 도, 기, 니, 미
  • ㄱ,ㄴ,ㅁ,ㄷ,ㅇ,ㅏ,ㅜ,ㅗ,ㅣ: 아, 우, 오 (five), 이 (two)


Real examples:

  • ㄱ, ㄴ, ㅁ, ㄷ, ㅇ
  • ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅗ, ㅣ
  • 가구 (furniture)
  • 가나다 (Korean alphabet, i.e. abc)
  • 가다 (to go)
  • 가두다 (to lock in)
  • 고구마 (sweet potato)
  • 고기 (meat)
  • 고모 (father's sister)
  • 고아 (orphan)
  • 구두 (dress shoes)
  • 기도 (prayer)
  • 기모노(traditional cloth of Japan)
