Here is the PPT of my teaching exercise: Korean%20Character.pptx
Korean characters consist of 24 consonant and vowel letters. I taught 6 basic vowels and 9 basic consonants. Korean characters are written into blocks, thus so long as we memorize the letters, we can pronounce Korean characters just like English words.
For example:
Basic vowels:
uㅣ= i
uㅏ= a
uㅓ= eo (“uh”)
uㅡ= eu
uㅜ= u
uㅗ= o
Reflection:
After teaching the pronunciation of 15 vowel and consonant letters, I ask each student to pronounce 7 Korean characters. This teaching exercise is a great way to facilitate my learning. One thing I would add into this exercise is to have each student actually write some of the characters by hand, so that they can gain some experience of writing Korean characters, not simply pronouncing them.
