Also, it can help many FTs brush up on their Korean or pick up useful expressions.
Its not pretentious unless its used to show off.... |

Absolutely. My pet hate is the romanization of 김밥. Kimbab, gimbop etc
How one romanizes 'bop' from 밥 is totally beyond me, 브라 |

because the word bop sounds similar to 밥, lets keep in mind when translating from any language to another and using romanization that things arent entirely perfect.
i think caLLING it pretentious, might suggest that you are secretly jealous of those who know how to do it? lol
seriously though, this is a forum for things korean, if someone types in it, lets not have a sissy fit. If you dont understand it, im sure someone will translate it or something close to it |

i find people changing their facebook name to hangeul after being in korea for a month to be pretty freakin' pretentious.
i also don't see the point in using hangeul on an english forum either, particularly if the author knows for a fact that there are new members who can not read it, but i guess there are exceptions. |

how does hangul, the world's most perfect and scientific alphabet define the sound of something in between a k and a g?
or better yet, how does it teach your mouth, tongue and throat to make said sound? |
