Korean uses 24 core letters—14 consonants (ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ) and 10 vowels (ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ).

King Sejong created this alphabet in 1443 specifically so ordinary people could read and write.

• Each consonant reflects the position of your tongue, lips, or throat;
• Vowels combine horizontal and vertical strokes to indicate sound direction;
• Letters stack into syllable blocks, making words visually compact;

With a private teacher, most students recognize all 24 letters within their first two lessons.
