💡 The "L-R" Secret of Korean Typing

In 20 years of teaching, I’ve noticed students struggle because they don't see the Logic. The standard 2-Set keyboard is a masterpiece: Consonants on the Left, Vowels on the Right. Your brain only needs to alternate between your two hands. Let's set up your digital environment now.

⚙️ Setup Your Korean Keyboard (2-Set)

iPhone/Android: Settings → Keyboard → Add New Keyboard → Korean (Standard/2-Set).
Windows/Mac: Language Settings → Add Korean. Toggle with Win+Space or Cmd+Space.
The Magic Rule: Type C → V → (C) and watch the blocks form automatically! (e.g., ㄱ + ㅏ = 가)
