Firstly, want to sincerely thank those of you who came to my birthday lesson

🎉🎊감사합니다!!🎊🎉

I had a ton of fun and learned a lot! One of the things I learned is that it would be a lot easier to talk about these things if we knew the names of the "letters" in Hangul. (Oh, and Webex can eat shit. I learned that too.)

So, class, the lesson i want you to study this week is here:
howtostudykorean.com/unit0/let

Your assignment is to go back to your list of idols names and write out what all the "letters" in their name are called.

In less-uplifting news, as much as *I* enjoyed your singing, I guess my laptop got so much second-hand embarrassment that it took a dive off the counter (everyone's a critic 🙄). The drives are fine, but everyone will have to wait until my new one arrives to see the little meet-up teaser we recorded.

💪화이팅 ‼️

I am going to modify the assignment since the names are so regular.
All the vowels are just ㅇ+ the vowel. ㅐ&ㅔ are just ㅏ or ㅓ+ㅣ. There is no sense in writing those a bunch of times.
All consonants but three (ㅅ,ㄱ,ㄷ) follow the same patrern. To use ㅁ as an example: 미음.
The double consonants just have 쌍 (not to be confused with 짱, the first syllable of the noodle dish) meaning "double" or "twin" in front of them.

If this assignment seems useful to you, write three regular consonants, three double ones, and the three irregular ones three times. I trust you all with the vowels.

More regular progress should pick back up soon.

@tdhssh this was partially inspired by me trying to spell something and not knowing the names of any characters lol
