Romanization 101


 Romanization is the translation of sounds of a foreign language into English letters. Romanization of Korean words allows those who can't read Korean to phonetically pronounce it.


From the time i learned how to read the korean alphabet, i have been immersing myself in romanization. This helped me to phonetically pronounce the words. And with the help of  tutor KJY for the correct pronunciation. I might not understand most of the words for now, alteast i'm making a li'l progress. No pressure.. Now i can sing along with the song while i'm driving.. ummhh.. probably.. mumbling the words is how i describe my singing in korean.. hehe

Romanizing is so much fun.. although i still have a cheat sheet on my keyboard.. i'm getting there in memorizing the keyboard kk .. patience is a virtue.. aich...

Here's the first part of the song that i patiently and carefully romanized..


Cause you’re my love forever
