Hey!
Today I’m going to write about hangul. I hope you’ll enjoy it!
So hangul is a Korean alphabet. It was created under King Sejong during the Choson Dynasty in 1446. The first Korean alphabet was proclaimed under the original name Hunmin chong-um, which literally meant "the correct sounds for the instruction of the people". At the beggining in Korea they employed Chinese language, but it was really difficult and only the educated elite could write in hanja. When first proclaimed by King Sejong, Hunmin chong-um had 28 letters as a whole, only 24 of which are still in use today.

A Korean syllable is divided into three parts: Ch'osong (initial consonant), chungsong (peak vowel), and chongsong (final consonant). This is the basic framework that King Sejong adhered to when creating the letters. Chongsong was not separately created and was a repetition of the ch'osong. Therefore, Hangul is the consonants and vowels.
Because of its simplicity and the rather small number of letters, Hangul is very easy to learn even by children and foreigners.
I’m trying to learn hangul by myself and it’s a really good fun.
In next post I’ll show you some books which can help you in learning this language.
See you soon!
