One Korean Letter, Two Sounds: ㅇ — Epoche A1
Dear Mina, I found my problem, and it is one letter: ㅇ. At the start of a box, ㅇ says nothing at all. It is only a chair for the sound after it. At the end of a box, the same letter says "ng". And there is one more rule. If a box ends with ㄱ and the next box starts with ㅇ, that ㄱ jumps into the empty chair. So 한국어 is not "han-guk-eo". People say "han-gu-geo". The book did not say this. A woman in a shop in Busan told me, with her finger on the menu. Sarah
