Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-Do

The pronunciation of Korean words (i.e., pattern names, commands, etc.) often seems difficult.  Part of this difficulty is in establishing sounds in the English language which correspond to Korean vowels and consonants.  This website contains many Korean words in their Romanized form

Korean has interesting vowel combinations containing both “o” and “u”

The Korean alphabet has both an “o”, which is pronounced like the “o” in “rope”, and an “eo”, which is pronounced like the “au” in “caught”.

The Korean alphabet also has both an “u”, which is pronounced like the like the “oo” in “root”, and an “eu”, which is pronounced like the the “u” in “cup”.

For further discussion concerning this subject, and a complete list of Korean words used in Taekwon-Do, please refer to “A Martial Artist’s Guide to Korean Terms, Translation, and Han-Gul”  (ISBN 1-884583-00-8).
