SHUTUP.....Let's Go Crazy With Hangul!

First things first....

Hi ^^. Right now I am to frustrated with my teacher to study so I thought I should at least write a new post.

I decided it's time to buckle down and try my best to show you how I learned how to remember the Korean alphabet. So here we go.

When I first decided I wanted to try to teach myself Korean, I did the worst thing possible: I bought a bunch of random Korean books. They were so expensive and in the end, they didn't even teach the alphabet!

Feeling miserable (and out of $$) I went into the iTunes app store hoping to find something free to help me. After downloading a ton of free Hangul apps, I stumbled upon the best teacher ever! The app is called TenguGo Hangul and personally, for a free app, it's the best!!

This app does everything from the basic stroke order of every letter, to how to write in the block system! It also goes into great detail about how each letter sounds with audio.

 

The best part about this app is it also has quizzes for you to take as practice. You can take them as often as you want in order to make sure you understand every letter.

 

 

Of course long after learning Hangul (maybe like a 2 year break) I found talktomeinkorean.com. The books are wonderful and easy to understand not to mention the teachers audio podcasts make learning fun as they joke around. In the workbook, there is a brief description of the Korean alphabet which is nice if you are just learning or need a refresher.

Because I am still learning Korean, I don't feel like I'm the best to teach the alphabet to you all but if you have any questions just comment and I will do my best to answer them ^ ㅅ ^.

Now that you have the tools to read and write in Korean, here is our words of the week.
