Hangul 4 life!

Did you know that Hangul (한글) is the native alphabet of the Korean language? Neither did I until this afternoon. Today I learned, or rather was introduced to it, because I didn't master it yet. And I probably won't soon. It's nothing like Japanese, this one is really hard, especially the pronunciation. Those who learned know. I don't say Japanese is easy, it's actually a very difficult and complicated language, but for me it's simpler.

I will show you the difference between those two based on the example of my name:
Roman alphabet - Dominika
Japanese alphabet (katakana) - ドミニカ
Korean alphabet - 도미니카

But it's different with e.g. the word love:
Japanese -
Korean - 사랑

Which one seems easier? It's for you to decide!

Hangul is everywhere!




Stay tuned.
