Hey HangeulShoppers,
I haven't forgotten about my blog! Really and honestly, there will be episodes, show notes, links and other goodies up VERY soon. I have committed my time to nailing down topics for the first 12 episodes. No one likes a one-hit wonder, right? So thank you for bearing with me, and let's all give a cheer for podcast/blog longevity! Woop woop!
Alright, some tech-y business -- I made a slight modification to the name of this blog and the corresponding website address. Henceforth, it shall be known as Hangeul Shop, not Hangul Shop. I recently read that the South Korean government would like to encourage the spelling of the Korean language with an "E" between the "g" and "u" in all English Romanizations.
Most important to you, the Korean language learner, this basically allows a more accurate phonology, since there is now a distinction in English translation spellings of "ㅡ" and "ㅜ" ...
An example:
가을 = GA-EUL = autumn (pretty leaves and bearable temperatures in Georgia)
개울 = GAE-UL = stream (trickle, trickle)
Guess this makes it a bit clearer for us then. And I'll do my best to not lapse to ye ol' Romanization system (which isn't really that old since the revised version came out in 2000...but that was still a decade ago!)
Don't forget to stay tuned!! :)
