Korean 1 - Colors

Now that we are done with Hangul here are some words, I will start with colors.

Rainbow colors:

Now that you can read hangul(If not then go back to the other posts and practice more) test how well you can read it. Read the the words written in hangul below and see how quick you can read them, You may not being able to read it fast at first but the more words you read and the more practice of reading and writing hangul the faster and easier you will be able to read and write it. =)
Also another tip: When learning Korean, or any language, get two notebooks and in one write down the words in Hangul, in english(or any language you want) and also how they are pronouced. In the second notebook write the words down in hangul (while using the first notebook as help) and as you write down each one in hangul say it in korean and then english (or any language you want), write it down a few times till you master it. =)
