Copyright 2005. Dennis L. Bangerter All rights reserved Preface Welcome to the Korean English Phonetic Dictionary (Travel Companion Edition). This is meant to be a starting point for newbie's to the Korean language. Since most people new to Korea are not familiar with the language at all, and not yet ready to attempt reading or writing the actual Korean language, I have not included any introduction or comparison between the actual Korean characters and the English equivalents (Romanization).

5 I use the "Revised Romanization of Korean (2000)" for the correct spelling of the English version of the Korean word. I then show a phonetic spelling of the word to help with the correct pronunciation of it. Various tables and charts are included, as well as word puzzles and games to help with memory retention of the Korean words and to help with recognition and comprehension of the Romanized spelling of the words. Also included is a Korean / English version of the dictionary for looking up the English version of the Korean words. Keep in mind that the sounds we are used to making in our language are different in the Korean language. This dictionary will give you a starting point to the Korean words, but in order to perfect the actual pronunciation, you should try to practice the words with Koreans or others that have spent some time in Korea, and are familiar and comfortable with the language.

6 Enjoy! The Korean Romanized Alphabet and Phonetic Equivalents Most double consonants sound the same as their simple counterparts with a slightly heavier emphasis.
