Mission 9: Talk about yourself

Recall the Korean from the meaning before opening each answer. Then choose the phrase that matches each quiz prompt.

Sound options

Choose a voice and play the sample. Availability depends on your device.

If your language voice is missing, you can try browser automatic voice. Stop if the pronunciation sounds wrong.

Your voice choice stays in this browser. Some voices need internet.

Check your media volume and Bluetooth connection. Choose another voice or recheck after enabling the language in your device's speech settings.

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

First recall each phrase without looking. Then check the Korean and practice saying it. These cumulative missions reuse phrases from earlier lessons.

Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.

01

저는 알렉스예요

Sound hintjuh-neun ahl-rehk-sseu-yeh-yoh

I’m Alex.

Replace 알렉스 with your own name. The ending depends on the final sound of the Korean spelling.

02

I’m from the United States.

Literally, “I came from the United States.” Replace 미국 with your country.
