[Must-Read] [Lesson 1] The Complete Hangeul Chart : Master All Korean Letters
Welcome to the K-Language Master Class! Today is the most important day of your journey: Mastering the entire Hangeul alphabet.
Hangeul is scientific and logical. Once you know these basic building blocks, you can read almost any Korean word!
1. The 10 Basic Vowels
Vowels are the "heart" of Korean letters.
| Shape | Sound | Example |
| ㅏ | a (ah) | Father |
| ㅑ | ya | Yard |
| ㅓ | eo (uh) | Dog |
| ㅕ | yeo | Young |
| ㅗ | o (oh) | Go |
| ㅛ | yo | Yo-yo |
| ㅜ | u (oo) | Food |
| ㅠ | yu | You |
| ㅡ | eu (uh) | Put |
| ㅣ | i (ee) | See |
2. The 14 Basic Consonants
These are the building blocks that start the syllables.
| Shape | Sound |
| ㄱ | g / k |
| ㄴ | n |
| ㄷ | d / t |
| ㄹ | r / l |
| ㅁ | m |
| ㅂ | b / p |
| ㅅ | s |
| ㅇ | silent or ng |
| ㅈ | j |
| ㅊ | ch |
| ㅋ | k (aspirated) |
| ㅌ | t (aspirated) |
| ㅍ | p (aspirated) |
| ㅎ | h |
(Note: There are also double consonants like ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ which make harder sounds, but let's master these 14 first!)
3. How to Combine Them
In Korean, you always combine a Consonant + Vowel to make a syllable.
Example 1: ㄱ (g) + ㅏ (a) = 가 (Ga)
Example 2: ㄴ (n) + ㅗ (o) = 노 (No)
Example 3: ㅎ (h) + ㅣ (i) = 히 (Hi)
[Your Homework]
Look at the tables above and try to write your name in Hangeul! If your name is 'Sam', it would be 샘 (Sa + e + m).
Leave your name in the comments, and I will help you write it in Korean.
In our next lesson, we will learn how to add the final consonant (Batchim) to finish the syllable structure. See you in Lesson 2!
