Learn Korean:
sarang = love.  When pronouncing sarang, the "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father."
irunkuya = this thing like (intimate style).  When pronouncing irunkuya, the "u" is pronounced like the "au" in "caught" and the "ou" in "young."
eun = is a topic particle that is added after the topic when the topic ends with a consonant.  If the topic ends with a vowel, the topic particle "neun" (pronounced  "nun") is used instead.  Topic particles are a new concept for English-speaking people since topic particles are not used in English.
