Albert in Korean 앨버트
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Albert as 앨버트: three syllables, said ael-beo-teu. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Albert letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
트 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- ㄹ at the bottom of 앨 is an l: the tongue touches just behind the teeth and stays there.
- ㅓ (eo) in 버 is the open "uh" of "sun", not an "o".
- ㅐ (ae) is said like the e in "bed" by most Koreans today, a little more closed than the a in "cat".
- Give all 3 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's ael-beo-teu, evenly.
How Koreans would call you
Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 3 syllables 앨버트 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 앨버트 or 앨버트 씨.
Why it's spelled 앨버트
Spelled letter-by-letter you'd get 앨벗, but Korean media write 앨버트, because the name is written the way it sounds, not the way it's spelled.
- An r after a vowel (before a consonant or at the end) isn't written. Korean spelling follows British-style pronunciation, where that r is silent.
- The unstressed "uh" vowel is written ㅓ (eo), whatever letter English uses for it.
- Korean adds the vowel ㅡ to consonants that have no vowel of their own (트), which is why Albert has 3 syllables in Korean.
