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?

Okay -

Let's see...
There is no "V" in Korean.
There is no "R" in Korean.

If I hear a word a different way like tomato (tomaeto vs tomoto).
I say it like "toe mae toe". - how does that work?


So if I wanted to write "school" like where you go to learn - I am guessing there is a symbol written in hangul that represents "school" versus me just spelling it out phonetically like "sk-ool"?
