EnglishKorean

You can learn to read Korean this week.

Not a claim — an arithmetic fact. Korean writing has 24 letters, and those 24 are built from 8 shapes.

Korean is written in Hangul. Learn the letters first and every lesson after that becomes readable. If you can already read them, skip ahead to the level test.
