안녕하세요!

The title translates, roughly, into "Hello!" It's romanized as "annyong haseyo" and it's pronounced, roughly, like "ahn yawng hah seh yoh." But faster.

I'm doing a language swap with a Korean student at the U of S Language Center. The Korean language is surprisingly intuitive. It was specifically designed that way, actually.

Oh! By the way, contrary to the assertion of the linguist I linked to in my last post, Korean is not a tonal language. It's a minor point, but I thought I'd mention it.
