Each hangul character has either 2, 3, or 4 "letters". This website explains how to organize each character http://learnkoreanlanguage.com/learn-hangul.html. It is a pretty simple system ㅎ+ㅏ+ㄴ=한. Sometimes you read the character left, right, down and sometimes up, middle, down it depends on what the vowel is. Vowels like ㅗㅜㅡ go in the middle and vowels like ㅓㅏㅣgo on the right. Good luck! I think learning to read and right in Korean is a very important part of learning the language. Its also very fun showing your friends.

Let's get you talking in Korean.

We love Korean people and Korean culture - from binge-worthy K-dramas and crunchy kimchi to the majestic Gyeongbok Palace and the breathtaking sights of Jeju Island! And there's no better way to connect with them than by learning 한국어 (Korean).
