How Hangul Works
Korean syllables are written as blocks. Each block combines a consonant + vowel (and optionally a final consonant).
한
ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ
han
글
ㄱ + ㅡ + ㄹ
geul
한글
= Hangul!
Vertical vowels (ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅣ) sit to the right of the consonant. Horizontal vowels (ㅗ, ㅜ, ㅡ) sit below. Final consonants (받침) go underneath the whole block.
