English to Romanized Korean Translator: Your Gateway to Hangul Made Easy
Ever Struggled to Pronounce Korean Words? This Translator is Your Ally
You see a K-pop lyric or a Korean drama subtitle and think, "I wish I could read that!" But Hangul (Korean script) looks like intricate art. What if you could bridge that gap instantly? That’s where our Normal English to Romanized Korean Translator shines. It transforms English text into readable Romanized Korean (Korean written in the Latin alphabet), so you can practice pronunciation, memorize phrases, or simply enjoy Korean culture without the initial script barrier.
What Exactly Is Romanized Korean?
Romanized Korean, or "Konglish" when mixed with English, writes Hangul characters using Latin letters. For example:
- Hangul: 안녕하세요
- Romanized: Annyeonghaseyo
It’s not an official script but a helper tool for learners, travelers, or K-culture fans. Note: Romanization can vary slightly (e.g., "g" vs "k" sounds), but our tool follows the Revised Romanization of Korean, Korea’s standard system.
