Jane in Korean 제인

Jane letter by letter
Each Hangul block is one syllable, built from a consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant underneath.
ㅈ at the start is soft and unvoiced, halfway between ch and j.
- ㅇ at the top of 인 is silent, so 인 is just the vowel: in.
- Two even beats, je-in: Korean doesn't stress one syllable over the other the way English does.
