You mean the romanization rather than in hangul?
Anyong Hasaeyo. Jae eerum une Jenna. Mannaso banga woyo. |

Is this for adults or children?
If it's for children then use "Beong-a beong-a" in place of the last sentence. The kids will laugh and loosen up.
You could even use that on adults. I assure you they will smile. |

Doesn't mean anything. He meant 방아방아. Oh sorry, I used those pesky symbols. Here, I'll write it in real Korean for you: banga banga. Don't forget that b isn't b, though, and g isn't g. G'luck. |

Actually, it means banga woyo. It's actually used as an online greeting, but is being used in real life more and more...or so my students tell me. |

ah.. I was just saying his transliteration was wrong.. 벙아벙아 is nothing. And I think my spelling was wrong. Shoulda been 방가방가. This is children speak. Elementary, Watson. |

Actually, using 반말 with kids is not a cardinal rule etched in stone. You'd be surprised at how many Koreans opt to speak to kids a little more respectfully (but not necessarily with the 'imnda'). Usually between strangers or people that don't know each other well. It seems to be a little discretionary. For example, if you were at a guest's home, it would not be out of place to speak politely with the children when first meeting them and going through the initial pleasantries. |

I'm completely uncomfortable with any kind of banmal. I often use 요 to kids.
One more alternative, Jenna (because the suggestions so far look so dreadful in Roman) is 저 (cho - the 'o' sound is like the o-sound in 'stop' in British English) 는 (nern, again pronounce in British English) 제나 (Jenna) 라 (la - not really an 'l' but definitely not an 'r'*) 고 (go) 해 (heh) 요 (yo).
"I Jenna called"/"I'm called Jenna" (chonern Jenna la go heh yo)
* For everyone else, Jenna will not be understood if she uses an English 'r' here, but will be understood if she uses an 'L', though imperfectly. We should advocate that ㄹ has no resemblance whatsoever to an English 'r' and I've never encountered a language that does. It's completely baffling why Koreans sometimes make English words like letter, liar, Latin, sound like an 'r' at the beginning and I can only assume this is the reason folks wrongly advocate that ㄹ is in any way similar to an 'r'. |
