Learn Hangul

한글 배워요

Did you know that Hangul, or the korean alphabet, was specifically created so people could easily learn to read. In 1443, King Sejong, the King of Korea, created the system with a team of scholars. At the time, the other option was the complex system of Chinese characters. It was only accessible to the rich and powerful who had time, money, and access to the means of learning all the characters.
King Sejong wanted the people of the country to be able to read without having to depend on people that may or may not be honest about what was written. The new system could be learned in a very short amount of time, so the literacy of the Korean people improved almost overnight.
