Introduction

Good day~

A little introduction to Hangeul. First of all, Hangeul = Korean. So now, you are learning Hangeul.

Basically, Hangeul is made up of consonants and vowels. There are altogether 14 basic consonants, and 10 basic vowels.

Consonants:
ㄱ   ㄴ   ㄷ   ㄹ   ㅁ   ㅂ   ㅅ   ㅇ   ㅋ   ㅌ   ㅍ   ㅎ   ㅈ   ㅊ

Vowels:
ㅏ   ㅑ   ㅓ   ㅕ   ㅗ   ㅛ   ㅜ   ㅠ   ㅡ   ㅣ

* There is no exact soundings to all these consonants and vowels, as in reality, they differ.
* But if you want, you can check out the vowels and consonants post.

* You form words by combining consonants and vowels.
* Korean is basically written in squares.

(Before you even start doing anything, it is best if you practice how to write the consonants and vowels.)

e.g.  한 = Han
       국 = Gug
       어 = Eo

So when put together, it's 한국어 (romanization: HanGugEo) which means Korean.
This shows that one square, one sounding.

* Must at least have 1 consonant and 1 vowel to form a word in Korean.
