Pronoucing some characters
My friend was looking at my blog posts for korean, and he said I did not make one for the pronoucion of some of words.
When a consonant ends a syllable, like the '한' in '한국' ends with the consonant 'ㄴ', when it is like this and the next syllable starts with the consonant 'ㅇ', then the consonant that ended the syllable is carried over to the consonant 'ㅇ'.
Example: 일월(eel-wol) the first syllable has three characters in it, and it ends with a consonant, and the beginning to the second syllable is the character 'ㅇ', meaning that now the ending consonant from the first syllable with replace the character 'ㅇ' when pronoucing, it would sound like 이뤌(ee-lwol), not like 'eel-lwol'.
Other example: 삼월(sahm-wol) but pronouced as 'sa-mwol'
Here is a example that my friend told to do, he said it would be easier to learn with this example since it is a well known song. haha
Song name is 산소 같은 너(san-so gat-eun neo) by SHINee, but during the song they pronouce it as 'san-so ga-teun neo'(산소 가튼 너), this is because the syllable '같' ends with a consonant while the next syllable starts with the character 'ㅇ', so the consonant 'ㅌ' will replace the beginning of the next syllable when pronoucing.
This is ONLY when a syllable ends with a consonant and the next syllable starts with 'ㅇ', if the first syllable ends with a vowel, then it does change when pronoucing, even if the next syllable starts with 'ㅇ'.
Pronouion of some consonants:
When some consonants are the last character of a syllable, they are pronouced different.
Here they are:
ㅂ - like the letter 'B'
ㅈ - like the letter 'T'
ㄷ - like the letter 'T'
ㄱ - like the letter 'K'
ㅅ - like the lettet 'T'
ㅁ - like the letter 'M'
ㄴ - like the letter 'N'
ㅇ - like saying 'NG'
ㄹ - like the letter 'L'
ㅎ - like the letter 'T'
ㅋ - like the letter 'K'
ㅌ - like the letter 'L'
ㅊ - like the letter 'T'
ㅍ - like the letter 'P'
Same thing goes for the double consonants.
Hope this helps. ^^

Days of the week, months, and seasons.
I will do Days of the week, months, and seasons this time. Months are a lot easier if you know the Sino-Korean number system.
Days of the week:
Sunday - 일요일 (eel-lyo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 이료일 - ee-lyo-eel)
Monday - 월요일 (weol-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 워료일 - Weo-lyo-eel)
Tuesday - 화요일 (hwa-yo-eel)
Wednesday - 수요일 (soo-yo-eel)
Thursday - 목요일 (mok-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 모교일 i Mo-gyo-eel)
Friday - 금요일 (Geum-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 그묘일 - geu-myo-eel)
Saturday - 토요일 (to-yo-eel)
'요일' means 'Day of the week'.
Months:
January - 일월 (eel-wol)(Pronouced as: ee-lwol)
February - 이월 (ee-wol)
March - 삼월 (sahm-wol)(Pronouced as: sa-mwol)
April - 사월 (sa-wol)
May - 오월 (oh-wol)
June - 유월 (yoo-wol)
July - 칠월 (cheel-wol)(Pronouced as: chee-lwol)
August - 팔월 (pahl-wol)(Pronouced as: pa-lwol)
September - 구월 (goo-wol)
October - 시월 (shi-wol)
November - 십일월 (ship-eel-wol)(Pronouced as: ship-ee-lwol)
December - 십이월 (ship-ee-wol)
'월' means 'month'. The reason why the months are easy if you know the Sino-Korean number system is because the months are called after the number they are, January is the first month, so it is 일월, 일 is the number '1'.
December is the 12th month, so it is 십이월, 십이 is the number '12'.
Seasons:
Spring - 봄 (Bom)('B' has a soft pronoucion)
Summer - 여름 (yeo-leum)
Autumn/Fall - 가을(ga-eul)
Winter - 겨울 (Kyeo-ool)
How to tell the date / how to tell someone your birth year:
In korea the date goes like this: YEAR/MONTH/DAY while in the US it is MONTH/DAY/YEAR. In korea we say the year first, then the month, then the day.
To tell someone what the date is, like to tell someone it is 2011/11/16, you would use '2011년 11월 16일' when typing it or writing it. But to say it you would say: 이천십일년 십일월 십육일(ee-chun-ship-eel-nyeon ship-eel-wol ship-yook-eel)
To make it easier to pronouce I will put it like this: 이천십일년(ee-chun-ship-eel-nyeon) 십일월(ship-eel-wol) 십육일(ship-yook-eel)
년 - Year (Nyeon)
월 - Month (Wol)
일 - Day (eel)
To tell someone your birth year, you do the same thing as to tell someone the date.
Like I would tell someone 천구백구십육년 십이월 십이일(chun-goo-baek-goo-ship-yook-nyeon ship-ee-wol ship-ee-eel), If I was to type that on the computer I would put '1996년 12월 12일'.
Another birth year example is 천구백구십칠년 십일월 십사일(chun-goo-baek-goo-ship-cheel-nyeon ship-eel-wol ship-sa-eel) which is '1997년 11월 14일'.
That is all, I hope I helped. ^^

Korean Number systems
I will do numbers this time, there are two number systems, Sino-Korean and Native Korean. I will start off with Native Korean.
Native Korean number system:
1 - 하나 (Ha-na)
2 - 둘 (dool)
3 - 셋 (seht)
4 - 넷 (neht)
5 - 다섯 (da-suht)
6 - 여섯 (yeo-suht)
7 - 일곱 (eel-gop)
8 - 여뎗 (yeo-duhl)
9 - 아홉 (a-hop)
10 - 열 (yeol)
Now to say 11 you would say 열하나(yeol-ha-na) which is just 10(열) and 1(하나). Just say 10 then 1, same goes for other ones, like 12 is 열둘(yeol-dool), 13(열셋)(yeol-seht), 14(열넷)(yeol-neht).
Other tens:
20 - 스물 (seu-mool)
30 - 서른 (seo-reun)
40 - 마흔 (ma-heun)
50 - 쉰 (shwin)(note: it may sound more like 'shin')
60 - 예순 (yeh-soon)
70 - 일흔 (eel-heun)
80 - 여든 (yeo-deun)
90 - 아흔(a-heun)
To say 23 it would be 스물셋(seu-mool-seht), to say 98 you would say 아흔여덟(a-heun-yeo-duhl).
For the numbers higher then 아흔아홉(a-heun-a-hop)(99) they are rarely said using the Native Korean number system, instead use the Sino-Korean number system.
Sino-Korean number system:
0 - 영(young)(used for mathematics) and 공(gong)(used for phone numbers)
1 - 일 (eel)
2 - 이 (ee)
3 - 삼 (sahm)
4 - 사 (sa)
5 - 오 (oh)
6 - 육 (yook)
7 - 칠 (cheel)
8 - 팔 (pahl)
9 - 구 (goo)
10 - 십(ship)
To say stuff like 14(십사)(ship-sa) and others, then it just like the Native Korean number system, just say 10(십)(ship) then 4(사)(sa).
Other tens:
20 - 이십 (ee-ship)
30 - 삼십 (sahm-ship)
40 - 사십 (sa-ship)
50 - 오십 (oh-ship)
60 - 육십 (yook-ship)
70 - 칠십 (cheel-ship)
80 - 팔십 (pahl-ship)
90 - 구십 (goo-ship)
To say other tens, just say 5(오)(oh) then 10(십)(ship) to say 50(오십)(oh-ship). To say 53 you say 5(오)(oh) 10(십)(ship) and 3(삼)(sahm) to say 53(오십삼)(oh-ship-sahm)
Others:
100 - 백(baek)
200 - 이백(ee-baek)
1000 - 천(chun)
2000 - 이천(ee-chun)
2053 - 이쳔오십삼(ee-chun-oh-ship-sahm)(it is 2, 1000, 5, 10, and 3.)
That is all. I hope I helped. =)
I know it may seem like a lot to learn, but you will get it. Don't give up. ^^
