Korean has 10 basic vowels and 11 compound vowels (diphthongs). Vowels are built from three elements: a vertical stroke, a horizontal stroke, and a short tick.
| Vowel | Sound | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ㅏ | a (as in 'father') | 아버지 (father) |
| ㅑ | ya | 야구 (baseball) |
| ㅓ | eo (between 'uh' and 'oh') | 어머니 (mother) |
| ㅕ | yeo | 여자 (woman) |
| ㅗ | o (as in 'go') | 오리 (duck) |
| ㅛ | yo | 요리 (cooking) |
| ㅜ | u (as in 'blue') | 우유 (milk) |
| ㅠ | yu | 유리 (glass) |
| ㅡ | eu (no English equivalent — unrounded, back) | 그림 (picture) |
| ㅣ | i (as in 'see') | 이름 (name) |
Key compound vowels:
| Vowel | Sound | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ㅐ | ae (like 'eh') | 개 (dog) |
| ㅔ | e (like 'bed') | 세계 (world) |
| ㅘ | wa | 과일 (fruit) |
| ㅙ | wae | 왜 (why) |
| ㅚ | oe (like 'weh') | 회사 (company) |
| ㅝ | wo | 원 (won/circle) |
| ㅞ | we | 웨이터 (waiter) |
| ㅟ | wi | 위 (above) |
| ㅢ | ui | 의사 (doctor) |
Important: In modern Korean, ㅐ and ㅔ sound nearly identical (both like 'e' in 'bed'). Context distinguishes them.

ÜbungsaufgabenConfused similar-sounding vowels (ㅗ/ㅓ, ㅐ/ㅔ)
Practice: ㅗ (lips rounded, high) vs ㅓ (lips open, low); ㅐ/ㅔ are interchangeable in modern Korean
Mispronounced ㅡ (eu) as a familiar vowel
ㅡ: lips spread flat (like smiling), tongue pulled back — not 'oo' and not 'uh'
아버지가 오셨어요.
Vater ist gekommen.
ㅏ (a) ist ein offener 'a'-Laut wie in 'Vater': 아버지 (abeoji) = Vater.
우유를 마셔요.
Ich trinke Milch.
ㅜ (u) klingt wie 'u' in 'Blume': 우유 (uyu) = Milch. Beide Silben verwenden ㅜ.
그림이 예뻐요.
Das Bild ist hübsch.
ㅡ (eu) hat kein deutsches Äquivalent — Lippen ungerundet, Zunge hinten: 그림 (geurim) = Bild.
개가 귀여워요.
Der Hund ist süß.
ㅐ (ae) und ㅔ (e) klingen im modernen Koreanisch beide wie 'e' in 'Bett': 개 (gae) = Hund.
