The Korean Language

The Mouse Linguist is very glad that her degree is in Linguistics, since learning the Korean alphabet based on phonology is much easier than based on Romanization.

The Mouse Linguist finds the Korean alphabet rather interesting from a linguistic perspective, since it makes use of distinctions which are not made in her native language, but the knowledge of French has helped The Mouse somewhat.

The Mouse learned the alphabet in a day while bored at work, but made the note cards so that her recognition and pronunciation upon recognition will increase in speed. She can write her name in Korean with almost no thought now:

밸턴 린시 안

- though she is aware that her second given name is a particle of negation. It is perhaps best to leave this out when writing her name.
