1. Korean Alphabet ( Hangul, 한글)

Korean Alphabet consists of 40 letters. It has 21 vowels and 19 consonants.

Consonats(모음) : ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅎ , ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ

As you can see, some of them are combined together.

So, at first please remeber the blue letters.



I found the good free Korean language lessons of Sogang University in Korea.

http://hompi.sogang.ac.kr/korean/kkl100/lesson01/index.html

On that page, please click "Vowels" and "Consonants", then you can see the vowels and consonants in circles,
Can you see the speaker symbols? You can hear the pronouciations!

Are you still with me ??


Ok, if you understand till now, you can read the table below.

At fisrt, please read the rows of the table, then you can easily feel how you can read Korean letter combinations!

I will add a mp3 file which i record, reading the table later~
