한글 기초 — The Korean alphabet, taught through the vocabulary you’ll need for every case.
Here’s the secret nobody tells you: Hangul is one of the easiest writing systems on Earth. It was designed in 1443 by King Sejong specifically so ordinary people could learn it fast — the saying at the time was that “a wise man can learn it in a morning.” You don’t memorize thousands of characters. You learn about 24 letters, and rules for stacking them into syllable blocks. That’s it.
By the end of this page you’ll be able to sound out real evidence from Case 1.
Each consonant is a letter, just like English. A few key ones:
Vowels are vertical or horizontal strokes. They never appear alone — they attach to a consonant (using silent ㅇ if there’s no consonant sound):
Korean doesn’t write letters in a line — it stacks them into square blocks, one block per syllable. Consonant + vowel, with an optional final consonant underneath:
That’s the entire system. Read block by block, left to right.
These words all appear in Case 1: The Red-Stained Script. Sound them out block by block:
You don’t need more drills — you need a reason to read. In the free case, every Korean word is clickable, your notebook saves what you learn, and your linguistics partner explains the grammar behind every lie.
