Korean Language Notes

My notes are kind of messy because I compiled it from a bunch of scratch papers. My tools for compiling in word are Korean Language pack for Windows XP and Babelfish translator (http://world.altavista.com). For the list of official romanization of Korean language I like to refer to Official Site of Korea Tourism Org: Romanization of Korean.
