In America, I’ve always heard the word pronounced as 타이권도.
After learning the Korean alphabet, I realized the pronunciation was wrong.
Thanks for the video~
i’ve always said ‘tae-kwan-do’ – until i started learning korean, that is. i figure it’s the anglo-ised version.
In Persian we pronounce it as “Tekvando” but I knew how to pronounce it in Korean!;)
Thanks anyway!
It’s pretty awesome that you took the time to make a video reply :-)
I’m training Taekwondo! ^^ In Bulgaria we pronounce it as: 타에권도, but I knew the correct pronunciation. 비디오답을 주셔서 고마워요! ㅇㅅㅇ
근데 [태권도]보다 [태꿘도]처럼 들리는데요…
