Hangul

[Heidi Kwalk]

I love your idea for this lesson. Hangul is all phonetics--a set of what we could call consonants and a set of vowels. Put the sounds together, and voila! You are reading Korean.  I tell my friends sometimes that I could teach them how to read Korean in 30 minutes! They won't know what they are reading, but they will be able to pronounce the syllables. The movement that Professor Jung-Kim showed us to go with the "letters" is a great activity for students who need those movements to help them learn. Students will feel accomplished and motivated for knowing how to read a whole different language!
