Building Syllables · 글자 만들기

5. Summary

• Korean letters are packed into square blocks, and one block is one syllable.
• A basic block is an initial consonant plus a vowel.
• Vertical vowels ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅣ go to the right. Horizontal vowels ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ go below.
• The silent ㅇ fills the first place when a syllable starts with a vowel.
• Read inside a block from left to right and top to bottom, then go to the next block.
• A syllable chart joins one consonant with all 10 vowels, like 가 갸 거 겨 고 교 구 규 그 기.
