30分钟学会读韩文字母
世宗大王在1443年设计韩文字母时，就是为了让人一个上午就能学会。读完这一页，你就能读懂招牌、地铁站名，还有大部分咖啡馆的名字。说话是后话——先解锁"读"这项技能。
1

把它们叠成音节方块
一个音节＝辅音＋元音，还可以再加一个收尾辅音（받침 batchim）。每个方块都按从上到下、从左到右的顺序读。
| 方块 | 发音 | 意思 | 拼合方式 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 가 | ga | "go" (verb stem) | ㄱ (g) + ㅏ (a) |
| 나 | na | I / me | ㄴ (n) + ㅏ (a) |
| 한 | han | one / Korean | ㅎ (h) + ㅏ (a) + ㄴ (n, batchim) |
| 국 | guk | country / soup | ㄱ (g) + ㅜ (u) + ㄱ (k, batchim) |
| 말 | mal | word / language / horse | ㅁ (m) + ㅏ (a) + ㄹ (l, batchim) |
| 안 | an | inside / no | ㅇ (silent) + ㅏ (a) + ㄴ (n, batchim) |
| 집 | jip | house | ㅈ (j) + ㅣ (i) + ㅂ (p, batchim) |
| 밥 | bap | rice / meal | ㅂ (b) + ㅏ (a) + ㅂ (p, batchim) |
