You won't. Once you start learning words, you'll see them as words and not as syllables anymore. But it will take some time and practice, and you'll only be able to do that with words you're very familiar with.
Well I’ve returned to say, for anyone who might be curious, that I have personally seen a lot of improvement in Korean over even the past 6 months since I left this reply. So I know I’m not OP, but I wanted to let you guys know that it is possible!! 화이팅
@@danielasophia788 there were lots of days, even weeks where i didn't study korean at all, but when i did was around an hour maybe or two (?)

I was supposed to study the class about saying hello in Korean, but I decided to come back here just to make sure there wasn't any kind of knowledge gap with what I learned. I'm super happy, because I can say all the letters in Hangul, write them, and also I know how to say all their names pretty fast. I'm ready to go to the first class on learning vocabulary
I originally learned diphthongs w romanization and have struggled with it ever since. This made SO MUCH MORE SENSE! Also, super relieved that theres a rule for the names of letters. There kind of is for english, but its mostly all over the place lol
This right here, this is why I was scared to start this lesson.... I thought it was like the ㅛ/ㅠ/ㅑ/etc and added a W sound the way they have a Y sort of sound because they all said "wae"/etc. This was much easier to understand thank you Billy.....
You are the best, Billy!!! I bought a Korean textbook in Korea and it was so disorganised, some pronunciations weren't available and topics were put in a random, unhelpful way. It wasn't even clear about Hangul and I didn't know how to self-study. I ended up abandoning it out of frustration and spent 8 months in Korea being a confused and stressed waygook saram. With your lessons, I feel I can go to Korea again with more confidence and knowledge. Thank you!! ^^
Very informative @Billy 👍 I was totally confused at the practice section because I forgetfully was applying the rules for _ and | to all pairs of vowels 😂 rewatched & realised it was for just those 2 vowels and so i got the pronunciations spot on when I again reached the practice section a second time !
I heard that people from Latinos countries find easier to pronounce and understand hangul comparing to English speaking countries. In Portuguese we have similar consonants and in French too (as I speak both). Anybody else from South America or Portugal/Spain or even Italy relate to that?
Your reading speed will naturally get faster as your general Korean comprehension improves, and that will improve as everything else improves. It's not something I think you have to work at separately for the time being :)
Im not familiar with Korean and im not a kpop fan thing im just here cuz japanese and korean is actually kinda similar so i want to learn both lol 위이이이
Dude....... I know duolingo isnt the best, and Im using several resources at the same time, but it was teaching most of these as a "w" and I was so confused why it kept changing shape.
Hi BILLY GO 3 days ago I asked you videos for begginers.But when I saw all I saw too that I knew all of them. also I know _how to conjugate verbs in past and present tense _greetings _korean sentences like (I can do...I can't do something) _hangul and how to write What do LEVEL do you think I am? 1-absolute begginer 2-begginer 3-Intermediate 4-advanced? Please answer me. #thanks
I have a question I really need an answer to, if anyone understands please put me through, 감사합니다.🙏 My question is: It seems that in 한글 diphthongs, 오 and 우 ends up being pronounced the same as in how you'll pronounce "w" in English. For example, I think 와 and 우ㅏ will both be pronounced "wa" in English, am I right? Or is there a logic as to when 오 and 우 can be used as left vowel in a diphthong?
ik this is super late to comment on but still, i wanted to ask. are symbols like ㅜ or ㅗ always gonna have the ㅡ part of it slightly bended when its connected to another symbol? if so, is it important or does it not really matter when writing it?
Hi Billy or anyone can help me with this two, 오ㅔ and 외. Is my understanding correct? the 1st one is how we pronounced it same with 왜 but it is written as 외? 감사합니다 ☺️
That's like in English how the letter "Z" is pronounced as "Zee" (or "Zed" in other countries). Those are just the names of the letters, for how you can pronounce them out loud. For example, if you want to know how something is spelled, those are the letter names you'll hear.
I mention in the second episode that it's best to avoid romanization, since none of the sounds will match with English. Here's another video about it: th-cam.com/video/i2jPpO7VG5k/w-d-xo.html Also here's another video about how to pronounce ㄹ: th-cam.com/video/2-4ShB33Eu4/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps~! :D
@@GoBillyKorean So, I can only write it in the order you wrote? Or I can write it randomly? Because I have seen it written in different order on different sites. I am confused about the correct order.
@@Sunshine-uk5pi If you're asking "Can I write 안 as ㅏㅇㄴ" then the answer is no. Korean also has spelling for words. The word "안녕" should be "안녕" in that order. But if you have a specific example you're curious about you can show me.
@@GoBillyKorean I feel very bad to bother you so much😭, I'm very sorry for that and thankyou so much for answering.🌷What I mean is, there is a specific order to write English alphabets (like ABCD...) and writing it randomly (like ACDB...) would be incorrect. So, is it like that in Hangul too? Because I have seen it written in different order sometimes. You wrote it as "ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁ..." but I saw it written as "ㄱㄲㄴㄷㄸㄹㅁ..." somewhere. I'm talking about alphabet orders here and not letters in a word. Hope you'll understand my question and thankyou again for being so patient and helpful. 🧡
@@Sunshine-uk5pi Yes, there is an alphabetical order in Hangul too. It starts with ㄱㄴㄷ officially. Double consonants go inside their original versions (ㄱㄲㄴㄷㄸ, etc.).
You most likely won't need to know the names of the letters until later on when you're having full conversations. They're just here for your reference and to take notes.
All romanization will be incorrect for Korean, which is why I don't use romanization in the lessons. Here's a video I made about why: th-cam.com/video/i2jPpO7VG5k/w-d-xo.html
It's pronounced correctly. But it's common to be "expecting" a different sound, because these sounds are different than in other languages. It gets better with time and practice.
Kind of, but it's not as effective as other sorts of entertainment (variety shows, podcasts, TH-cam videos, etc.) th-cam.com/video/PlONK6a-HPM/w-d-xo.html

Thank you so much Billy. You explain things far better than the university professor.
Your videos are so good! All explanations are concise and I dont get bored at all! 감사합니다!!
Thanks for the clear explanations. I now get the feeling I begin to understand :)

These dipthongs literally just sound like french 😭😭🙏 I'm so glad that i speak french for once
in my native language (buryad) we also have diphthongs, but they are different from korean
Vowels/diphthongs are so confusing to me! But the names of the letters make so much sense now :)
I saw so many videos , learning about naming letters and trying so hard to remember . But this video , Oh GOD it simplified everything . Thanks a ton!
Very informative @Billy 👍 I was totally confused at the practice section because I forgetfully was applying the rules for _ and | to all pairs of vowels 😂 rewatched & realised it was for just those 2 vowels and so i got the pronunciations spot on when I again reached the practice section a second time !
Billy, you’re a genius
#8 DONE! I can't belive i'm learning the korean alphabet lol :O
For those reading, just know that the Korean W, is used more like an English U. So words like "Uiwang" sound more like "wee-wang" or "ooey-wang."
Now watching all of your vids. For me working at South Korea
Thanks so much
this is a good one to rewatch!
thank you for these videos! i'm on week two of learning and it can get a little overwhelming at times, but i'm taking it one day at a time! :)
pure gold ✨
I feel so french saying 위위
I was actually plan to learn Hangul since I got the first taste of KDrama and here I am 3 years later watching your videos.
I FINALLY GOT ITTT
We have the same diphtongs in french so for once i know how to pronounce something correctly ! ^^
having a hard time before how to read them, huhhu thank you
감사합니다

I sleek French and Spanish and I somewhat agree! I do realize there are some sounds that resemble are languages!
Yeah, I'm from Brazil, and when it comes to pronunciation, most sounds are easier to pronounce.
these lessons are easy. I knew hangul for years now. I just keep giving up when I get to grammer and vocab

both are hard to learn at the same time unless you dedicate 8 hours a day. you'll probably be intermediate in 4.5-5 years max.

Thank u sir :)
When do you use dipthongs?
ik this is super late to comment on but still, i wanted to ask. are symbols like ㅜ or ㅗ always gonna have the ㅡ part of it slightly bended when its connected to another symbol? if so, is it important or does it not really matter when writing it?
That's just to make it fit nicely into the syllable block. You can write it more straight if you'd like.
I want to know the translation of those words
everything was fine until course #8 lolol
this one took me 45 minutes to go over with note taking - def going to really need to work on this
Hi Billy or anyone can help me with this two, 오ㅔ and 외. Is my understanding correct? the 1st one is how we pronounced it same with 왜 but it is written as 외? 감사합니다 ☺️
There is no 오ㅔ, but there is 외 and 왜.

What all diphthongs pronounced like 의
Coming back to this comment when I am fluent in Korean🤭
I really hate diphthongs...i just can't remember it
Billy, i didn't get that name of the letters part
One of the irregular ㄱ you wrote it's name like 기역 and not like 기윽 ....why so?
The irregulars you can just memorize separately, because those don't follow the standard format.
It’s really Late to comment but 6:51 ㄷ it doesn’t have ㅇ on top and You explain please..?
Yes, that's why it has a * to indicate that it's different :)
@@GoBillyKorean oh Thank you so much
Hello billy I have a question why does 왜 and this 외 and this 웨 sound all the same like wae wae wae I'm 🤔 confused
They sound similar, so you can simply memorize the spelling of each word as you learn it.
Thank you
I didn't get the point of naming letter part of the lesson. Would be grateful if anyone can explain
That's like in English how the letter "Z" is pronounced as "Zee" (or "Zed" in other countries). Those are just the names of the letters, for how you can pronounce them out loud. For example, if you want to know how something is spelled, those are the letter names you'll hear.
@@GoBillyKorean Thank you!
I'm not getting pronunciation of some syllables .like same syllables sounds differently in different words. For ex. ㄹ is it l or r , ㄱ is it k or g
