It also helps if you NEVER use romanization, not even in your mind. I hear a lot of foreigners speaking Korean and they speak it as though they were reading romanization with exact English pronunciation... Which of course doesn't work.



This is SO true. If you want to learn how to pronounce Korean, read the hangeul. I cannot read the romanization anymore. It is similar to how badly English is written in hangeul. That is why so many people say O-RAN-GEEEEE.
