Read Hangul, then say it out loud
한글 (Hangul) is the Korean alphabet — 24 basic letters that stack into square blocks. Most people can sound out their first words the same day. Tap any letter below to see what it sounds like, then use the mic to hear how close you got.
ㅏ
a
like the a in father
In a block: 아 (a) — ah
Vowels — start here
Every Korean block has one vowel. Learn these ten and half the alphabet is done.
Consonants
Korean consonants sit between the English pairs you know — ㄱ is not quite g, not quite k.
Your first four words
You already know these — they are borrowed from English. Sound out the blocks.
커피
keopi — coffee
물
mul — water
카페
kape — cafe
버스
beoseu — bus
