The 11th Day: Practice Korean Vowel Pronunciations

In the days before online dictionaries, memorizing the order of Korean vowels was an essential step in Korean learning. The traditional order is as follows: 아, 애, 야, 예, 어, 에, 여, 예, 오, 와, 왜, 외, 요, 우, 워, 웨, 위, 유, 으, 의, 이. While memorizing the order is no longer strictly necessary, familiarizing oneself with the authentic sounds of Korean vowels remains highly beneficial for learners. Let’s repeat each one aloud orderly with accuracy, without phonetic alphabets. Play 아, 애, 야, 예,  어, 에, 여, 예,  오, 와, 왜, 외, 요,  우, 워, 웨, 위, 유, 으, 의, 이.
