Study Korean Alphabet – how to write (2)

How to write Korean alphabet

Let’s study Korean Consonants first.

Consonant Chart

This is consonant list for teaching how to write

The chart above doesn’t have the double consonant we learned like ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ.

I intentionally didn’t add double consonants because one you can write single consonants, you can also write double consonants. – For example If you can write ‘ㅂ’, you just can write ‘ㅂ’ twice to make ‘ㅃ’.

Let’s study basic word that start with each consonant to get familiar with consonants

Vowel Chart

This is vowel list for teaching how to write

As you may have already noticed, vowels have three rules.

Vowels are created by these two rules.

  • One or two vertical lines
  • a horizontal line

you won’t find any vowels that break the above rules.
