The 1st character of the Korean alphabet is ㄱ (gi-yeok). It makes the "g" sound of the language. It can also be a 'k' if it was a batchim. However, that is something we won't get to until after this unit.
ㄱ Sound : 'g' Name : 기역 (gi-yeok)
To write the character, draw a line going straight to the right. Then move down from where you are.

The 2nd character is ㄴ (ni-eun). This character makes the 'n' sound.
ㄴ Sound : 'n' Name : 니은 (ni-eun)
To write it, draw a line going straight down and draw another line going to the right.

Write ㄴ five more times.
The third character is 'ㄷ' and makes the 'd' sound.
ㄷ Sound : 'd' 't' Name : 디귿 (di-geut)
To write this one, draw a line going to the right. Move back to the point where you started that line and draw another line that goes down. From there, don't move your pencil or pen. Go straight to the right again.

Write ㄷ seven more times.
Pronunciation :
When you try to make their sound, know that they are similar to the English alphabet. For example, you learned that 'A' made an 'ah' sound.
ㄱ =guh
ㄴ=nuh
ㄷ=duh
Once you've practiced enough and think you can read and write these pretty well, move on to the next three characters.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO MOVE ON WITHOUT PROPERLY LEARNING THEM. IT CAN HINDER YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE AS YOU MOVE ON!
Extra practice:
WITHOUT looking at your notes, try to pronounce the sounds they make. If you got it right, you could give yourself a smiley face or comment an emoji!
