Learn Hangul, the Korean alphabet created to help Koreans read and write easily. Study 21 vowels and 19 consonants, and how each syllabic block uses a consonant and a vowel.

Learn five double consonants ㅃ ㅉ ㄸ ㄲ ㅆ in Hangul by building on simple consonants, mastering their pronunciation and writing from left to right, top to bottom.
Learn four aspirated consonants in Hangul (ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅍ) and how they pair with simple vowels to produce airy, resonant sounds, with writing and pronunciation examples.
Learn how Korean compound vowels form by combining simple vowels, write them with correct consonant placement, and pronounce them as single sounds with examples like 애, 에.

Master reading Korean double final consonants by applying two reading rules for following consonants or own status, learn the 11 combinations, and handle empty consonants.
If you have been wanting to learn Korean but you have no idea where to start from or how to start, this course is the PERFECT place to begin with.
I believe that if one is serious about learning ANY language, he or she should always start from the basics and learning Hangul is the perfect starting point for any Korean learner.
What is Hangul, you may ask. Simply put, Hangul in the Korean language is literally equivalent to the ABCs of English. Imagine trying to learn Korean without being able to recognise and read Korean characters... Even a child learns the alphabet first before learning the more difficult stuff!
With proper knowledge of Hangul,
1) Learning new grammar and vocabulary will be made easier (a lot of online learning resources are written in Hangul)
2) Your pronunciation will be more accurate sounding to the native Koreans
3) You can chat with other Koreans using their native language (Koreans can't really read romanization)
4) You will be able to read captions that appear on Korean variety shows (best reason ever)
This course was designed to cater to complete beginners of the Korean language. Content in this lecture has also been arranged to make learning easy, progressive, and logical.
I look forward to teaching you this beautiful language.
