I decided to go to Gangnam for a daily walk, and it was a good opportunity to talk to you about pronouncing romanized Korean, as there are four subway stations along our route with names that serve as good examples.

Romanization is the transliteration of Korean characters to English. There have been different approaches to it over the years, meaning there are several possible English spellings to any given Korean word. And because the English alphabet can never accurately reflect the actual Korean pronunciation, nonKoreans will inevitably be led astray by the English letters.

So in this video, I give you a few tips regarding three common representations: 'a', 'eo', and 'eu'. Of course, I can't help but bring up trivia about some points of interest we pass along the way.

If you enjoyed this video, please consider buying a coffee for me!
