    Rapid Korean Learning"

    (Korean + English = Konglish).

  • For words that werent in the traditional Korean language, Koreans simply took the English word and sounded it out in Hangeul (Korean alphabet). !This is great news for you, because you can start saying words in Korean from the get-go without having to pick up a single book. There is one thing you need to take into account, and that is pronunciation. !Since were sounding out English words in Korean, the words may sometimes sound slightly different than the standard English pronunciation. Some will sound identical, and some will sound a bit different to you. !Lets take a look: !

    (menu) Pronounced exactly like the English word ! (orange) Pronounced similar to orange. However, there is an extra syllable in the Korean version. Therefore, the pronunciation sounds like o-ren-ji

    !Yikes! How do I know when the pronunciation is slightly different than English? Great question. !

  • If youre looking at the word in Hangeul, then you just follow that pronunciation. And since youve already learned how to read Korean from the 90 Minute Challenge, youre ready to advance in your Konglish career! ! The other great thing

    about learning Konglish words is that Koreans will be

    impressed with your pronunciation! !

    They are used to hearing visitors and expats saying orange. !So, if you kick things off with the pronunciation o-ren-ji, you already get bonus points! Koreans will recognize your language skills, so you will get more Korean speaking opportunities if you want them. Stepping up as King of Konglish reaps many benefits! !Today we are going to cover some of the most frequently used Konglish words. These words follow the 80/20 Principle, which states that 20% of vocabulary is used 80% of the time. !We want to make sure these words stick, so were going to walk you through the process that we use here at 90 Day Korean. Just follow the three simple steps, and repeat as many times as you need!
