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.
