Reading Hangul

this may be the most difficult part in learning Korean language. I myself isn't an expert when it comes to this part. you know, koreans have this certain way of writing their alphabets. you'll know that as we go on. so i'll try to teach you with what i know as of now.
FIGHTING!!

okay...so let's try to read these..
TIP: usually the korean syllabes are read clockwise, up to down, left to right...try:D :
(don't be a cheater..don't look at the answer key...you can check out the alphabet chart^^)

1.빌딩 a house, hall, skyscraper or the like
2.안도라 tiny country between France and Spain
3.인도 big country in Asia, former British colony
4.라디오 extremely popular before there was television
5.비디오 now being replaced by DVD

ANSWER KEY:
1.빌(bil) + 딩(ding)= 빌딩 (building)
2.안(An)+ 도(do) + 라(ra)= Andora
3.인(in) + 도(do)= Indo (India)
4.라(la) + 디(di) + 오(o)= ladio/radio (koreans have difficulty in saying the letter "r"..
5.비(bi) + 디(di) + 오(o)= bidio/video

can you try it on your own now?
