Trying to learn the Korean alphabet can be frustrating and time-consuming.But it doesn't have to be that way. This book uses an easy mnemonic system to teach you the sounds and writing method of Hangul in just one hour.If you're interested in Taekwondo, Korean drama, or K-pop, or are a student of the Korean language, this is the place to start.Many people try to learn the Korean alphabet using English letters, but this is not only a waste of time - it can also be very embarrassing!I know this because I first learned Korean in English from a taekwondo instructor in Kentucky. When I went to Korea and tried to use my limited vocabulary, no one understood me because my pronunciation was just so bad.Example: sam jang - sounded like the name Sam and 'jang' rhymed with 'sang'! It should have been more like 'sahm jaeng' with an almost long A sound.That's why I've developed a system that uses mnemonics to teach you the sounds of Hangul so you can easily remember the Korean alphabet.You'll also get a vocabulary list of useful words for each character, so you can more easily remember how to write and say them. The vocabulary is chosen based on the characters you have learned up to that point. So earlier characters will be repeated in the new vocabulary list along with each new character.Plus, I've included samples of typed and handwritten characters so you can see how they should look. Handwritten characters and typed characters can be quite different in any writing system. Knowing the order of the strokes and shapes will make it much simpler to recognize the characters when you see them in their more free-flowing handwritten form.Get your copy today and start learning Hangul in no time!
