A little Hangul

Ok, Korean language....

Korean language is called hangul.

English sounds to Korean sounds:

F=p

l=r  (these are kind interchangeable)

one of the hardest words to hear a Korean say is "laugh"

it has the l/r and then the gh make an f sound, but in Korean it's a p sound.  Whew.  It took my like ten minutes one time to figure out what a student was asking for.

Today a boy was reading the word "food."
Now say it in your head with a "p" instead of an "f"

Yup, you "pooed" ;)

I couldn't help myself to laughing.  I told the kids what he just said.  Its not as embarrassing as it sounds.  The entire class was laughing, but i think they were laughing more because they're teacher was laughing.
Boy, English is fun!
