🧩 Core Content
Hangul = alphabet, but letters are grouped into syllable blocks (think LEGO). Learn the rule once → reuse everywhere.
한글은 알파벳이지만 글자가 음절 블록으로 묶입니다. 규칙을 알면 빠르게 읽을 수 있어요.
Block formula: (Consonant + Vowel) [+ (Final Consonant)]
- 가 = ㄱ (g/k) + ㅏ (a) → ga
- 고 = ㄱ (g/k) + ㅗ (o) → go
- 공 = ㄱ (g/k) + ㅗ (o) + ㅇ (ng) → gong
Silent starter ㅇ: vowel-initial blocks use ㅇ at the start → 아 (a), 이 (i).
