Korean is very interesting. If you can pronounce a word, the meanings
can be guessed by similar English words or Chinese words. And the
"words" are like Chinese Pinyin. After remembering each part of the
word, it is easy to get the pronunciation. However, it may be difficult
to translate sentences from other languages into Korean if you are not
familiar with the vocabularies.
Google translate is a great tool.
You can copy a sentence in most of the languages into the text box, and
listen to the pronunciation by clicking one button.
