Saying Hello In Korean
Saying hello in Korean came easy in real life, but it was a little harder to do here. I ran into a few unexpected problems trying to get this section up and running.
I wanted to be able to show the correct pronunciation of the words and phrases, plus show the Korean characters. Reading Korean has turned out to be very easy, but being able to see the characters online and putting them on a page for others to see is a little more difficult. A lot of the pages I went to for the letters of the alphabet left me seeing squares.
I found very good instructions on how to display and input Chinese, Japanese, and Korean here: Korean Language Learning. I downloaded the Microsoft Korean language pack here: Microsoft Global Input Method Editors
Now I could see the characters online and write a document with them in MS Word. I also learned how to put them in my web page. This is welcome in Korean: 환영합니다
Do you see the characters? If not, you can visit the above link for help in displaying them. This is not necessary, however, because I will be displaying all Korean characters in pictures so that everyone can view these pages without having to download anything. This is what the above characters look like:
Now that I've figured out how to publish this section, I have very high hopes for it. Both Alex and myself hope you will enjoy learning Korean as much as we are!
