Common words Idols use when tweeting - Part 2

I'm back with part 2 of common words idols tend to use when tweeting ^^ Words regarding photos~~ ^^


 1. Selca 셀카 (Selca comes from the words Self camera.)

2. Two Shot 투샷 (Which just means a photo of 2 people)

3. Three Shot 쓰리샷 ( and the list goes on ^^)
4. Another word that you might want to know is 도찰. It means a photo is taken secretly or unexpectedly.  

5. Proof shot 인증 (This just means that the photo is proof of what they were saying is true)


Lesson 3 - Syllable ~ Final closure (Pronouncing the final consonant)

Hey guys~ i hope your able to memorise the Korean Alphabet by now~ or atleast half of it ^^ 
NOW this is where learning Korean gets harder~ ^^ ready? ㅋㅋㅋ


This lesson is on the Pronouncation/Sounds of each final Consonant
So what the chart above means is:
When a character/syllable ends in a ㅂ, you will pronouce it as a ㅂ. 
But when a character/syllable ends in a ㅍ, you will pronounce it as a ㅂ
Confusing? Don't worry, you'll get there! ^^
Some more examples



 Don't get this confused with the special consonants  g/k*   and   r/l*
(In lesson 2)
Recap: Its is WRITTEN as a G if the consonant is first (or on top) and it is WRITTEN as a K is the consonant is last (or on the bottom) etc.


But with the other consonants mentioned in this lesson, it is still WRITTEN the same but pronounced differently.


Now, don't worry if you didn't understand this lesson, it's not something you'll need to memorise just yet (trust me) ^^
As long as you know why sometimes its written one way BUT pronounced another way then that's fine~ ^^


**Have you ever noticed how Koreans freaks out when they need to play a dictation game? It's not because they can't spell haha Its because (as you just learnt) Speaking and Writing Korean is two different things. 
Example: I can say to you "Hey buy me a ggot (flower)" but if i was going to write it to you, ill write "Hey buy me a ggoch (flower)"


But i might forget that flower is written as 'ggoch 꽃' and write it as 'ggot 꽅' by mistake, thats when ill have a spelling mistake.
Make sense? LOL, dun worry if it didnt ^^
