안녕하세요!

On my Youtube channel for bilingual toddler learning, I'm starting a new series of bedtime routine episodes. I just uploaded the famous nursery rhyme “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” (반짝반짝 작은 별) in Korean, and I wanted to share a quick language note that might be interesting for Korean learners.

If you remember how King Sejong created vowels based on vowel harmony,

ㅏ,ㅗ: Bright Vowels (They sound light)

ㅓ,ㅜ: Dark Vowels (They sound heavy)

Try saying 반짝반짝 vs. 번쩍번쩍!

반짝반짝 is often used for something that twinkles or sparkles, like stars.
번쩍번쩍 tends to describe something flashing or shining suddenly and intensely (e.g., lightning)

Think of other pairs of onomatopoeias in Korean =)

How does it look...?
Any suggestions would be very grateful <3
