Korean Lesson - Basic Vowels

So someone asked me to teach her some hangul and I was like well why don't I share this information with everyone LMAO

I'm not a native speaker and I still don't know Korean that well, so if you are a native speaker or know it well please correct me! I'm still learning lol

I’ll just list out all the basic vowels first ok
ㅣ= I (ee) 
ㅏ= A (Ah) ㅑ= Ya
ㅓ= Eo ㅕ= Yeo
ㅡ= Eu 
ㅜ= U (oo) ㅠ= Yu
ㅗ= O (Oh) ㅛ= Yo

If another line is added to the vowel then that puts a “y” sound in front of the original vowel. 

And I'm pretty sure eu and ee don’t have one of the “y” sounds because they’d end up looking like one of the other vowels

Adding ㅇ in front of one of the vowels is silent and it makes the vowel pronounced so 야 is still “yah” I don’t remember but i think the ㅇ makes a “ng” or “ing” sound like in 사랑해요 sa-rang-hae-yo

There’s also compound vowels, but I’m not very familiar with them so i don’t think i should be teaching incorrect things LMAO
Idk tbh if you want me to teach you more like the structure i could do that but omg dont expect a lot i havent even memorized the consonants yet

I taught myself a little too, and it's pretty much the same than what you wrote here! Cool, so I'm not the only one ;-)
