[Korea] Hangul alphabet poster

[Zuarko]

I was wondering if anyone out ther has any "beautiful" Jamo poster, wallpaper or something similar that one could put in front of his desk to remember the pronuncition and characters. I was looking for something like this (http://thinkzone.wlonk.com/Language/Korean.gif) but not so "raw".

If I don't find anyone I think I'll try to make my own and post it here if there is someone interested :D

How about something like this one??

I have it as a pdf in A3-format if you are interested.

[Zuarko]

Yes! things like that it's what I'm looking for. You know, just like in any children's foreign language class. They have posters reminding them things about the other language (somehow subliminal :rolleyes: )

If you could send it to my mail I'd be so grateful! :) And people, don't stop posting examples :D

Klaasb, or any other knowledgeable sir or ma’am,

Looking at the poster in message #2, blue column: which letter most approximates a long e sound? The third one down?

Actually, I'd like an English word example for each Korean vowel sound.

Thanks, in advance.

I hope Klaasb or Thomas or someone can give a better answer.
The International Phonetic Alphabet uses "i" for that sound, so I would think the corresponding Korean should be it.
The book I have uses the "i" character for both long e and the sound in "it", depending on the location.

If you mean the vowel sound like in the English words "seem" and "tree", it would be the last character down (the single vertical line).

I hope Klaasb or Thomas or someone can give a better answer.

The current "official" Romanization system is explained here (http://english.tour2korea.com/02Culture/KoreanLanguage/roman_korean_language.asp?kosm=m2_9&konum=subm4_1)

Granted, there are a few other systems and many people just use their own (I use a few differences myself)... but it's pretty good.

TY, all.

It just seems that transliteration is very difficult.

This is something I wrote for my students earlier.

Consonants (자음)
ㄱ 기역 [k], soft k-sound. Like in good
ㄴ 니은 [n], n-sound. Like in nice.
ㄷ 디귿 [t], t-sound. Sometimes similar to a d-sound. Deer.
ㄹ 리을 [l], l-sound, but sometimes pronounced as a soft r, Depending on its position in the word. Love or red.
ㅁ 미음 [m], m-sound. Like moon
ㅂ 비읍 [p], p-sound. But also very close to a b, especially at the beginning of a syllable. Hapkido or bold.
ㅅ 시옷 [s], s-sound. Sound.
o 이응 [ng], -ng sound. This character is somewhat special. When encountered at the beginning of a syllable there is no sound. At the end of a syllable it is equal to the -ng at the end of a word in English. Training
ㅈ 지읒 [ch], j-sound. Like in joy.

The following consonants are aspirated. They are very close to some of the previous consonants, but when you pronounce them, air leaves your mouth. To test this, keep your hand in front of your mouth when pronouncing them.

ㅊ 치읓 [ch'], ch-sound, like in chase.
ㅋ 키읔 [k'], k-sound, like in kite.
ㅌ 티읕 [t'], t-sound, like in tennis.
ㅍ 피읖 [p'], p-sound, like in plate.
ㅎ 히읗 [h], h-sound, like in hello.

Vowels (모음)
ㅏ 아 [a], strong a-sound. Yahoo.
ㅑ 야 [ya], ya-sound. Yahoo.
ㅓ 어 [eo], eo-sound or u-sound. Lock or Luck.
ㅕ 여 [yeo], yeo-sound or yu-sound. Your.
ㅗ 오 [o], o-sound. Go.
ㅛ 요 [yo], yo-sound. Yoghurt.
ㅜ 우 , u-sound. You or m[U]oose.
ㅠ 유 [yu], yu-sound. You or beautiful.
ㅡ 으 , ue-sound. A 'strange' one, because it doesn't really exist in English. Like center, but you have to make the sound longer. Pulling the corners of your mouth to your ears.
ㅣ 이 [i], ee-sound. M[U]e or Bee

Consonants combined with vowels
Korean words, or actually the syllables, always start with a consonant, even if the first sound of that syllable is a vowel. This is where the silent 'ㅇ' comes in use. There used to be two ㅇ-characters. One with a little dot on it, and one without. The one with the dot was for the ng-sound, while the other one was used when there was no sound.
This means a syllable in Korean is made of two letters at least.
The vowels can be divided into standing and lying vowels.
The standing vowels (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ and ㅣ) will stand next to the first consonant, while the lying vowels (ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ and ㅡ) will lie under the first consonant. In combination with the letter ㄱ it will look like this:
Standing vowels: 가, 갸, 거, 겨, 기
Lying vowels: 고, 교, 구, 규, 그

If there is an ending consonant as well, this consonant is always below the first two letters. Lets combine the previous syllables with the letter ㄴ.
Standing vowels: 간, 갼, 건, 견, 긴
Lying vowels: 곤, 굔, 군, 균, 근

Double consonants
There a few consonants which have slightly different pronunciation from there single-consonant counterparts, these are; 
ㅃ, ㅉ, ㄸ, ㄲ and ㅆ
They are called the ssang-sounds (쌍) where ssang means double.

Combined vowels
It is possible to make even more sounds, by combining vowels. We won’t go into all the sounds, but will just give an overview of all the vowel combinations that exist in modern day Hangeul.
ㅐ ㅒ ㅘ ㅚ ㅙ ㅔ ㅖ ㅝ ㅟ ㅞ ㅢ
