Korean Language~~한국어~~

The Korean Language is a very scientific language: 

• 21vowels 
• 19consonants

~invented in 1443 by King Sejong the Great during Chosung dinasty.

1. Vowels:

ㅏ   =  a                                              ㅑ  = ya
ㅓ   =  eo                                            ㅕ  = yo                     
ㅗ   =  o                                              ㅛ  = yo                      
ㅜ   =  o *like to say boo*                     ㅠ  = yu                                   

ㅡ   =  eu                                            ㅒ = ya                        
ㅣ   =  i                                               ㅖ = ye
ㅔ   = eeh                         

ㅢ   = ui  
ㅚ   =weh
ㅟ   = wi
ㅐ   =  eh

ㅘ  = wa
ㅝ  = wo
ㅙ = wae
ㅞ = whe

~Consonants

ㄱ = k   *not strong*                                              
ㄴ = n   
ㄷ = t   *(d~t)                                                         
ㄸ = tt
ㄹ = r   *r~l
ㅁ = m  
ㅂ = ph                                              
ㅃ= pp
ㅅ = s                                                 
ㅆ= ss
ㅇ = ng
ㅈ = ch                                              
ㅉ= jj
ㅊ = tch
ㅋ = K    *strong and aspirated
ㅌ = t     *aspirated
ㅍ = p    *aspirated
ㅎ = h    *aspirated

To combine and form words u just need to put together consonants and vowels...

example:

가 (k+a= ka), 나 (n+a= na), 다 (d+a = da), 라 (r+a= ra), 마 (m+a= ma),바 (p+a =pa), 사 (s+a = sa), 하 (h+a =ha), 자 (ch+a =cha), 차 (tch+a =tcha), 카 (kk+a =kka), 타 (t+a =ta), 파(ph+a =pha)...

Once these u have memoriezed these symbols..it will be easier to read and create sentences.
That's all for today!

See ya soon^^

김밥~~~ Kimbap!

is the traditional Korean food..and is a well~known food even abroad. Basically, it is made following the sushi style but, there is one difference!
Sushi rolls are filled with raw fish...Kimbap is filled with meat or veggies. Kimbap is like the Korean version of a sandwich- you can change the filling to fit any diet, palate, or occasion.

I tried to eat it in a Korean restaurant in Seoul, and it was sooo good and tasty. There are so many kind of kimbap u can choose not just *meat* and usually they serve even side dishes..etc..

Shin Ramyun

Hello^^ Let's talk about food ^=^

 

The most common Korean students food and ...not only is the ramyun!

They eat is wether they are in office, in University, or at home during nightime if

they feel hungry.

Although it's not the healthiest food, and though is very kaloric (140kcal) I

decided to buy

a cup of this kind of Ramyun for trying and even because after some time spent

in there I begun starting to behave like them kkkk



Btw...I tried the Shin Ramyun, very famous, but also so spicy! In the cup you

can find some wooden chopsticks, dehydrated veggies, beef chips, togheter with

a red powder,  all in a small wrap.

 

Be careful if you can't stand spicy food..just add some not add the whole powder!! U may regret!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are the steps for the preparation:

 

 

-open the cup without removing the label totally,

 

-boil the water,

 

 

-pour the water inside the cup and try to close it with its label again,

 

 

- wait 3minutes

 

 

 

 

 

Ready to eat ^^))

고기구이 or Korean BBQ

Let's talk about the Korean BBQ, or 고기구이^^

I find it extremely tasty and it's the prefect way to share it with friends while

talking and laughing or drinking.

For dinner I went in a typical BBQ restaurant in Gangnam with my friend, I

wanted to eat  Mul-naengmyeon (Cold noodles with chilled broth and ice)

and my friend wanted to eat BBQ..so we chose to go to this restaurant, which

cook both BBQ and Naengmyon.

The served us lots of 고기 (meat) such as: 갈비살 ( galbisal= beef), 삼겹살

(samgyupsal = pork belly)

etc...together with the typical and usual side dishes (반찬)..such as : 밥,

(cooked rice), guk (soup), gochujang , kimchi, mushrooms, shrimps,

soy,  and finally the Noodles

we ordered.

This is how the restaurant looks for inside, it's Always full so we had to wait a

bit before sitting inside. Those kind of "seats" have a special use hahah guess

what??

They are made for putting bags inside.

Almost all korean restaurants that serve grilled meat has a grill place at the

center of the table.

And...after the meat is cooked.. you will need to use a scissor for cutting it into

small pieces, prepare your chopsticks and...

 

 

 

 

voilà...ready to eat^^
