Introduction: Use of Lesson 1
It would be shame if you dont use what weve learned before we jump into Lesson 2.

Weve already learned 4 basic Korean writing blocks.

C : Consonant, V : Vowel

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!

1. Yes, actually there are more blocks. You dont have to remember all the blocks here,
because you need to learn more specifically about how to use and read blocks in
Lesson 2. You just need to practice some simple words in this workbook using only first
2 types of the block.
2. All the words in this workbook are noun or gerund.

Vowel positioning
Lets learn which vowels are used for which type.
type (1) type (2) type(3) type(4)

C C
C V C V
V V
C
C
type (1) Any vowel drawn vertically

C V
type (2)
Any vowel drawn horizontally
C

V

So, basically you put vowels drawn vertically on the right side of the consonant, and
vowels drawn horizontally on the bottom of the consonant all the time. No exception.

Wrap up
This is end of Use of Lesson 1.
Did you find any difficulty memorizing all the letters or writing orders?

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!

1. There are 2 options here.

2. You can go back to Lesson 1 and watch the video and read the soft copy of it until you get
naturally familiar with it.
3. or, you can go to Lesson 2 and study more specifically about reading & writing Hangeul
until you get familiar with the shape and the sound of it with more advanced examples.
4. You can always go back to Lesson 1. Its going to be where it is all the time.

Lets move on to Lesson #2!
