Why it sounds a little different
- TH has no Korean letter. It's usually ㅅ (s), sometimes ㄷ (d) or ㅌ (t).
- R and L share one letter, ㄹ — Korean doesn't tell them apart.
Say it in Korean
제 이름은 캐서린이에요.
Je ireumeun kaeseorin-ieyo. — My name is Katherine.
To be polite, Koreans add 씨 (ssi) after a name: 캐서린 씨.
