Speaking English, especially slient letters is unfamiliar with the Korean. Because korean usually speak the Hangeul which is made by King'Sejong'. The purpose of making Hangeul is people have to deserved with just fair. So, he tried to make the language simple and easy for the ordinay people, due to the his effort, the all letter in Hangeul can sound not having silent sound. Therfore when the korean learn English first time, they can not speak well the word included the slient sount, later they learn the logic about the slient sound, they understand and adopt the slient sound during speaking English.

Hello Gloria,

I love how you connected this to the history of Hangeul and King Sejongs efforts to create a simple and fair writing system. Its fascinating to think about how every letter in Hangeul has a sound, which makes it so logical and accessible for everyone to learn.

You did a great job describing how this difference can make learning English challenging at first. But you also pointed out something very important: with time and understanding of the rules, Koreans can adapt to pronouncing silent letters in English. Thats such a positive and encouraging way to look at it!

Keep up the great work in explaining these cultural and linguistic differences. It helps deepen understanding for everyone, and youre doing so well with expressing your thoughts in English!
