Making my Korean friends feel at home!
안녕하세요!
This week I started learning Korean. Right now I just know the days of the week, the months, the seasons, and a few numbers
For example, today is Friday, 금요일 (geum-yoil)
Tomorrow is Saturday, 토요일, (toy-yoil) and after that, Sunday 일요일 (il-yoil)
(^^Can someone explain how I could write this in hangeul and say it? ^^^)
I know it's not good to transcribe Hangeul in latin alphabet but it helps me remember the pronunciation.
I really want to learn more phrases that will make my Korean friends smile, laugh, and feel at home. Can anyone recommend a few?
고마워!

Note: this should be in questions/answer section not here >.<, here is to correct the errors on your note xD.
But well, I may be able to help you a bit since I've been learning Korean too :3 (pretty novice though).
Geumyoil would sound like gumioil, not gum yoil (if "y" is not connected by a consonant, it would sound like "g" in English (like when you say "G-Dragon"), if is connected then it sounds like a "i".
For example, 안녕하세요. "annyeong (you say anion or aniong in pronunciation [English] "y" after the "n" (consonant), but in "haseyo" it is after a vowel, so the "y" is pronounced as it is (like "young" [only the yo]). I may be confusing since I'm not that good teaching maybe, I'm just trying to help >.<.
And saturday is "toyoil" (to-yoil) not "toy-yoil". So it is pronounced as I said before (haseyo example).
You can find many useful phrases here:

And if you need help with pronunciation I may be able to help you anytime ^^.
You can also try listening to conversations of movies or dramas that are serious and doesn't uses different accents (so you can get used first). Like those that doesn't includes "comedy" on their category >.<.
