“Hangul is a really charming language”

When i first visited Korea, specifically Seoul, what really caught my attention is their language, Hangul. I see Hangul as a very unique and beautiful language.

Hangul caught my interest, that is why I decided to learn the language. To explore and assimilate its beauty.

And as I think of it right now, I know I have made the right choice.

As I get to be more knowledgeable about Hangul, I discovered a lot of beautiful things not only about the language, but also the rich culture of Korea.

Of course, I won’t let this opportunity pass without all of you knowing more about the wonderful language of Korea, Hangul!

So for you to understand Hangul better here’s a little background!

Hangul is divided into three (3) parts. The initial consonant which is called as the Ch’osong. The peak vowel which is called as the Chungsong. Lastly, the final consonant which is called as the Chongsong.
