Korean Alphabet Basics
The Korean alphabet (Hangul) has 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels. Unlike English, Korean letters are combined into blocks to form syllables.
Korean consonants often have similar sounds to English. For example, ㄱ sounds like "g", ㄴ is "n", and ㄷ makes a "d" sound. Some consonants might be tricky at first, like ㄹ which is somewhere between "r" and "l".
Vowels in Korean have simple, consistent sounds. ㅏ is pronounced "ah" (like in "father"), ㅓ sounds like "uh", and ㅣ makes an "ee" sound (like in "meet"). When you see ㅑ or ㅕ, those are just "y" plus a vowel (ya, yeo).
Try This! Practice writing each character several times while saying its sound out loud. This helps your brain connect the symbol with its pronunciation.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.
