Korean romanization

Okay kiddo, so you know how in Korea they have their own alphabet called Hangul? Well sometimes people who don't speak Korean want to read and write Korean words using letters that they know, like the English alphabet. This process is called romanization. It's like taking a Korean word and turning it into English letters.

Now, when people romanize Korean, they have to decide which English letters to use for each Hangul letter. For example, the Korean letter "ㅂ" sounds like the English letter "b", so when we romanize it, we use "b". But some Korean letters can sound like different English letters depending on the sound that comes after it. So people who romanize have to follow some rules about how to use English letters to approximate the Korean sounds.

There are a few different systems for romanizing Korean, but one of the most common is called the Revised Romanization system. This system was made by the Korean government to help people all over the world learn Korean more easily.

In Revised Romanization, we use some special marks to show how to pronounce the Korean letters. For example, if we romanize the Korean word "안녕하세요" (which means "hello"), we would spell it like "annyeonghaseyo". The "ng" at the end is a special mark that tells us to make the "ng" sound like the "ng" sound in "singing".

So that's a little bit about Korean romanization. It can be helpful for people who don't know Korean to learn and read Korean words, even if it's not the same as using the real Hangul alphabet.
