When it comes to the popular Korean martial art of “Taekwondo” many non-Korean speakers may wonder how to pronounce it correctly in English

Firstly we need to understand the phonetics of the English language “Taekwondo” is spelled as “태권도” in Korean which can be transliterated as “taegwondo” in Revised Romanization of Korean (RR) system However the letter “g” sounds like “k” in English when it is followed by “w” or “y” Therefore the correct pronunciation in English is “taekwondo” (tay-kwon-doh)

It is important to note that the emphasis in the pronunciation is on the second syllable “kwon” To make it clearer we can divide the word into three parts: “tae-kwon-do” The first syllable “tae” is pronounced with a long “a” sound like in “day” The second syllable “kwon” is pronounced with a short “o” sound like in “hot” The third syllable “do” is pronounced with a long “o” sound like in “go”
