Important Note on Honorifics: Korean heavily relies on honorifics (respectful language). The words above marked as "formal" are generally safer to use in most situations unless you're speaking to a close friend or family member. Using informal language with someone who expects formality can be considered rude.
To learn pronunciation, I highly recommend using online resources like Forvo (forvo.com) or YouTube videos. Hearing the words spoken is crucial for accurate pronunciation. There are also many great apps and websites dedicated to learning Korean.
