Preface (서문)
I am writing this self-study book for beginners of Korean language who are starting to learn
through the social network service. The most important aspect in learning for beginners is to
learn how to pronounce and write Hangul alphabet in a correct way. Because once beginners
get used to pronouncing and writing in a wrong way, it takes a long time to correct them.
I have met many beginners who try to read and write romanized korean to communicate with
Korean people and other learners. If you are a Korean language learner who rely on
romanization you have to remember two things. First, There is almost no romanized words in
Korean and Korean people will not understand it. Second, You cannot move on to the next level
in grammar, reading or writing with only knowing romanized korean.
Most Korean textbooks, however, spend only one or two chapters in introducing Hangul
consonants and vowels, then move on to the next topics, such as grammar, conversations
or vocabulary. It is hard to find a Korean textbook that explains the exact articulation position
and the sound value of each Hangul letter. These types of textbooks cannot be a good start
for self-studying learners.
This book is designed to help self-studying learners to focus on the pronunciation and writing
of each letter before they move on to the next level of study. The learners will learn How
Hangul Alphabet was created and how to pronounce and write each letter. Then, finally they
will learn about Korean word structures and how to read and write them in the correct way.
I decided to release this e-book for free to all Korean language learners. Each chapter has a QR
code and a URL address that links to the free Teacher Kim's video lessons, allowing learners to
increase their understanding about Hangul and improve listening and pronunciation. And at the
TEACHER KIm’s
end of each chapter, black-and-white-based writing exercises are provided so that learners can
print the pages and practice with their own handwriting.
Please understand that my English explanations may be awkward sometimes as it is my second
language. I am a foreign language learner just like you. I hope this book is a good starting point
in your journey of learning Korean.

본 교재는 사회관계망 서비스를 통해 스스로 한국어를 학습하는 영어권 초급학습자를 대상으로 하는 한글 자모
학습 교재입니다. 필자는 초급 한국어 학습자에게 가장 중요한 공부는 정확한 조음 위치에서의 한글 자음, 모음의
발음을 익히는 것이라고 생각합니다. 한 번 학습자의 발음이 잘못된 방법으로 굳어지면 이를 고치는데 오랜 시간
이 걸리기 때문입니다. 그러나 한글 자모 학습의 경우, 대부분의 초급 한국어 교재에서 조차 한 두 단원을 할애하여
자음, 모음을 소개하는데 그치고 있고, 정확한 조음위치나 음가의 대립을 설명하지 않고 있어 사회관계망 서비스를
통해 한국어를 공부하는 학습자들은 정확한 자음, 모음의 소리를 익히지 못한채 회화나 문법 학습으로 넘어가고 있
는 실정입니다. 쓰기 학습의 경우도 비슷합니다. 정확한 획의 모양과 순서로 한글을 쓰는 것은 장차 한국어를 학습
함에 있어서 길러야 할 기초적인 소양이지만 충분한 쓰기 연습을 제공하고 있는 자모 학습교재는 드뭅니다. 교실
수업을 통해 원어민 한국어 선생님으로부터 적절한 지도를 받지 못하는 초급 학습자들에게 정확한 한국어 자모 교
육의 필요는 더욱 절실합니다.
따라서 필자는 사회관계망 서비스를 통해 한국어를 공부하는 학습자들을 위해 이 책을 무료로 배포하기로 결심했
습니다. 본 교재는 학습자의 정확한 발음 학습을 위해 무료 동영상 강의를 지원하여 각각의 소리를 정확히 익힐수
있도록 돕고자 노력하였습니다. 각 단원에는 동영상 링크와 QR코드를 수록하여 학습자가 동영상 강의를 시청할
수 있도록 구성하였습니다. 또한 각 단원에 쓰기연습지를 제공하여 학습자가 정확한 순서로 충분히 자모 쓰기 연습
을 할 수 있도록 구성하였습니다.
필자의 영어 설명이 다소 어색하더라도 널리 이해해 주시길 부탁드립니다. 저 역시 영어를 제 2 언어로 공부하는
외국어 학습자이기 때문입니다. 아무쪼록 이 책이 초급 한국어 학습자들의 좋은 출발점이 되기를 소망해 봅니다.

1. What is Hangeul?
First of all, We need to understand the definition of 한글(Hangul) and 한국어(Hangukeo).
한국어(Hangukeo) is the Korean language that is used in South and North Korea and some provinces
in China. They can understand each other but the accents and intonations are a bit different.
한글 (Hangul) is an Alphabet that Korean people use. There are many Alphabets around the world
like Roman, Greek or Arab Alphabets. All the Alphabets have consonants and vowels. Hangul has
21 vowels and 19 consonants.

Unique Writing
Writing Hangul Characters are different to English ones. English words are written by
ordering the alphabet from left to right. But when we write 한글(Hangeul) we put consonants
Korean Class
and a vowel in one character and words are made by putting these characters together.

Pic 2 - Hello in Hangeul
Sound letters
한글 is sound letters like english. That means each alphabet doesn’t have any meaning but
just a sound. We don’t write 한글 making meaning but expressing the sound. We can express
more than 50,000 sounds with combination of Hangul Alphabet.
2. Who created 한글?

한글 is the only alphabet that the creator is known. 한글 was made by King 세종(Sejong) and
his scholars in 1443. Before 한글 was created, Korean People talked to each other in Korean
but they used Chinese characters for writing which was not suitable. So King 세종(Sejong)
wanted to help his people and decided to create Native Korean Characters that is called
훈민정음(Hun min jeong eum). Now we call it 한글(Hangeul).

3. How was Hangul(한글) created?

The Hangul(한글) was created philosophically and scientifically.
Three symbols (ㅣ ㅡ . ) for making Vowels

According to the Korean origins, there are three important elements in the universe : that
TEACHER KIm’s
is Sky, the Earth and human. King 세종 used these symbols in making the Korean vowels.
He used a little Dot to symbolize ‘sky’, the horizontal line for earth and vertical line for
human. All 한글(Hangul) vowels consist of a combination of these three symbols.

We need to review Korean Character Structure before we learn prop consonant. There are 4 kinds
of character structures in the Korean language.
4 Korean Character Structures

1 Vowel only.
: For making syllable with a vowel only put ‘ㅇ’ before or above the vowel.
아 우
2 Consonant + vowel
: When making syllable with a consonant and a vowel we write a consonant first and
then put a vowel after the consonant.

Vowel + prop consonant
: When making syllable using a vowel with a prop consonant we put ‘ㅇ’before a vowel
and draw a vowel then draw a prop consonant at the bottom of the syllable.

: When making syllable with a consonant, a vowel and a prop consonant draw a consonant
and put a vowel and then draw a prop consonant at the bottom of the syllable.

2 prop consonants rules
1. As you see the 3rd and 4th Korean consonant structures, the position of the prop consonant is
always at the bottom.
2. There are only 7 prop consonant sounds. That means when some consonants are used as prop
consonants.
Let’s learn each prop consonant.
1. ㄴ
Attach the tip of the tongue to the gum behind
the upper teeth and keep your tongue shape and
release air through the nose only.
The sound of the prop consonant ‘ㄴ’ is the same as
the final ‘n’ sound of the english word ‘noon’.

Listen to Teacher Kim’s pronunciation and practice.

2. ㅁ
Attach upper lip and lower lip and release air through
the nose. (Keep your lips closed.)
When the consonant ‘ㅁ’ is used as prop consonant

It sounds like the same as final ‘m’ of the word ‘mom’.

3. ㅇ
When this little circle is nitial consonant it doesn’t have any
sound. But when this circle is located at the bottom as prop
consonant It sounds like the english alphabet ‘-ng’of the word
‘song’.

4. ㄹ
When pronouncing prop consonant ‘ㄹ’ the tongue’s tip

should tap slightly behind your upper teeth where the
hard part of your palate. Then vocalize.

consonant they sound like the same. Just close your
lips and stop vocalizing.

6. ㄱ (ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ)
The back of the tongue attached to the soft part
of the palate to stop the air coming out.
When ‘ㄱ’, ‘ㅋ’ or ‘ㄲ’ is a final/prop consonant their
sound are exactly the same, because we just stop
the sound from the same articulation place.
