Dear Parents,
The language is a basic characteristic which constitutes one's own representation of who you are.
What is one of the first things to learn when you study a foreign language?
The alphabet, of course.
The official writing system for South Korea is Hangul or Hangeul. Korean is the official language of South Korea, and it uses Hangul as it's alphabet and writing system.
"Han" means "Korean", and "gul" means "letter". Put them together, and you've got the term "Korean letter", or "Korean Alphabet".
Hangul consists of 24 letters (originally 28), including 14 consonants and 10 vowels. The consonant characters are formed with curved or angled lines. The vowels are composed of vertical or horizontal straight lines together with short lines on either side of the main line.
Hangul is a very scientific writing system. It was developed with precision in mind about 500 years ago by King Sejong the Great.
Unlike Japanese or Chinese, which have thousands of characters and each can have 10, 15, or more strokes, the most complex Korean character in the alphabet can be written using only five strokes.
You may feel that using English as a common language, it won't matter whether your children learn Hangul or not.
It happens that your child might just stop speaking Hangul, leading to identity change. Since a child's korean language skills are lacking, they will not be able to interact well in Korean as they do in English.
The Korean alphabet has a lot of similarities to the English alphabet, which makes it easy to learn. It has consonants and vowels that form syllable blocks. These syllables can be sounded out just like words in English..
How can parents support their child's learning process? Here the solution is! This book enables your kids to practice and learn letters, words in an interesting way.
Content of the book:
For each alphabet letter there will be a page.
- 1st page has an outline of a letter with the image that starting with that letter, name in Hangul (Korean), English with the phonics of Hangul (Korean) name and image.
- The children can color the letter and images that are allocated for each letter.
- 2nd page is for next alphabet.

- Pages 18-23 and 34-40 contain all alphabets along with their complex forms in single pages with one extra page for practice.
