Fix Hoya’s mistakes

Hoya wrote these. Each one has one mistake. Work out the right answer, then check.

  • Word for present Hoya wrote 성물
    Check

    선물 Listen to the end of 선: the tongue touches the roof of the mouth — that is ㄴ. ㅇ (ng) stays at the back.

  • Word for watch Hoya wrote 시게
    Check

    시계 계 is often said like 게, but it is spelled with ㅖ. Learn the spelling with the word.

  • Word for old days Hoya wrote 옌날
    Check

    옛날 It sounds like 옌날, but it is spelled 옛날. Korean spelling keeps the letters even when the sound changes.
