Korean for complete beginners
Learn to read Korean, one letter at a time.
Free Hangul lessons you can hear, printable workbooks you can write in, and two guides: Sori, a patient magpie who teaches, and Hoya, a tiger who makes the mistakes before you do.
Try it now: the six vowels
Tap a letter to hear Sori say it.
How it fits together
Four ways in. One path.
Each part does one job well, and they all teach from the same lessons — the words you trace on paper are the words you hear online.

Hangul in eight lessons
Eight short lessons, from six vowels to sounding out real words. Each one takes about fifteen minutes.
Sori
Your teacher. Patient, precise, a little dry. For three hundred years she read letters aloud for people who could not — now she would rather you read them yourself.
안녕하세요. 저는 소리예요. 한글, 같이 읽어 봐요.
Hoya
Learning right beside you. He grew up far from Korea and is learning to read a letter his great-grandmother left him. He makes the mistakes you are about to make — your job is to catch them.
안녕하세요! 저는 호야예요. 저도 지금 배우는 중이에요!
