A rough reading aid, not exact pronunciation. Hyphens separate syllables. Listen first, then try with hints hidden. “eu” is said with unrounded lips; “uh” only approximates ㅓ. Doubled consonants are tense, not extra syllables. Do not add a vowel after a final consonant.
Read, compare and repeat
Build confidence reading Korean words without relying only on romanization. Practice familiar syllables and hear simple final-consonant linking before a vowel-starting particle.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.
가방
Sound hintgah-bahng
gabang
Bag
가 + 방. Watch the final ㅇ.
모자
Sound hintmoh-jah
moja
Hat
모 + 자. Two blocks with no final consonants.

Read it in small steps
나무, 바다, 모자
Try the whole words before checking the guide.
가방, 한국
Include the final consonants.
집에, 문이
Keep the spelling; listen to how the sounds connect.
한국에 가요
I go / am going to Korea. Listen to the whole phrase.
Try it for yourself
Use the word cards in the practice room. Read aloud before revealing the meaning and block breakdown. The goal is to recognize familiar words more comfortably, not to guess the meaning of every new Korean word.
Say it from the meaning
Say each phrase aloud before revealing it. This practice does not change your score.
Make yourself heard.
Listen once. Record yourself saying the phrase, then listen back.
가방, 모자, 우유, 집에
Sound hintgah-bahng, moh-jah, oo-yoo, jee-beh
