Demonstrative speech

General Purpose: To demonstrate

Specific Purpose: To demonstrate ( learn Hangeul, the Korean Alphabet )

Central Idea: You can learn how to read and write Hangeul.

Introduction: Today I will demonstrate how to read and write Hangeul.

Transition: Let’s get ready by knowing the Korean Alphabet.

Body:

1. Learning simple consonants and vowels

a. Simple consonant letters


b. Simple vowel letters


c. There are 11 consonant clusters and 11 diphthongs. But today I will only teach simple consonants and vowels because consonant cluster and diphthong are way more complicated.

Consonant clusters:


Diphthongs:


Transition: Now, let’s learn how to pronounce the consonants and vowels.

2. Learning pronunciation

a. Firstly, learn how to pronounce consonants
b. Secondly, learn how to pronounce vowels
c. Lastly, combine consonant and vowel into a block
For example, Hangeul is written: 한 (han) ㅎ(h) ㅏ(a) ㄴ(n) + 글(geul) ㄱ¬(g) ㅡ(eu) ㄹ(l)

3. Sing ‘’ Three Little Bears’’ in Korean to test how well you can pronounce Hangeul now.

Lyrics:
곰 세 마리가 한 집에 있어,
아빠곰 엄마곰 애기곰
아빠곰은 뚱뚱해,
엄마곰은 날씬해
애기곰은 너무 귀여워,
으쓱 으쓱 잘 한다.

Transition: Oh well done, now you can read and write Korean.

Summary:

Learning the Korean Alphabet, Hangeul, is a lot easier than trying to learn Romanization of Korean. Throughout your studies, you will run into many resources that will only publish Romanization though. I highly recommend you learn to read Hangul first, as it will be most useful to you.

Conclusion:

Hangeul was designed so that even a commoner could learn to read and write; the Haerye says "A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."
