If that is so then can you have different ways of spelling someone's name in Korean?


Let me ask this:

If I wanted to write a sentence in Korean - would I phonetically sound out the words/syllables and then just put that together?
When Spelling Western Names(Basically Non-Korean Names), You Have To Write The Names Based On How You Pronounce Them(Also, There Are Some Grammatical Rules That You Will Soon Learn)

For Foreigners, When Learning Hangul, They Are Told To Write The Words Down In Western Script, And Then Write Them In Hangul.
Example: I Tell You To Write "Annyeong Haseyo"...
1. Write Down How You Pronounce It, Using Western Script
2. Write The Word Now In Hangul, Using The Words You Wrote In Western Script( This Would Be: 안녕하세요)


Get It?
