Alessandro in Korean 알레산드로
Korean media, baristas and the immigration office write Alessandro as 알레산드로: five syllables, said al-le-san-deu-ro. Here's how it's built, how to say it, and what people will call you.
Alessandro letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㄹ between two vowels (드로) is one quick tap of the tongue, like the tt in American "butter": closer to a soft d than an English r.
- The double ㄹ in 알레 is a clear English l, as in "hello", not an r.
- 드 carries the filler vowel ㅡ (eu). Keep it short and light, almost just the consonant.
- ㅗ is a pure "o" with rounded lips. Don't add the w-glide English puts in "go".
- Give all 5 syllables the same weight. Korean has no strong stress, so it's al-le-san-deu-ro, evenly.

Korean given names are almost always two syllables (after a one-syllable family name), so at 5 syllables 알레산드로 reads as a foreign name at a glance. With foreign names some Koreans skip 야 and just say 알레산드로 or 알레산드로 씨.
