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.
Six phrases you can use today
Practice a few complete polite sentences. Change one familiar word at a time and ask a simple question back.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.

Notice 을 and 를
For these object phrases, use 를 after a vowel-ending noun, as in 커피를, and 을 after a consonant-ending noun, as in 음악을. These are first patterns to recognize, not a complete grammar course.
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.
