#hangeul

Over the 10 years we’ve been teaching, we have seen hundreds of students come to us after failing to learn Korean on their own. The reason being that they were relying on inaccurate romanization to be able to sound out Korean words. This resulted in them pronouncing everything wrong and unable to communicate with Koreans – the very reason they are learning in the first place!

Many Korean learners avoid Hangeul altogether with the idea that learning a whole new alphabet is virtually impossible. However, this is completely untrue. Hangeul is actually one of the easiest and fastest alphabets to learn, and the basics of the Korean alphabet can be learned in as little as a matter of hours. With a total of 40 letters, plus the added simplicity of similarly shaped letters having similar sounds and being pronounced from the same area of the mouth, this alphabet is easy to memorize!

In fact, by the time Korean children have reached school age, they have already mastered the Korean alphabet, which goes to prove that Hangeul really is quite simple to learn compared to any other alphabet in the world.

Now you know how easy learning Hangeul is, here are 5 good reasons for you to take the plunge:  http://bit.ly/1T8avhm
