You've probably seen the video and heard of the claim that you can learn to read and write Korean in 15 minutes.  - That's true.
But how about the time it takes to memorize all the symbols? Oh geez.
In my classes you start speaking Korean from the day 1. But on this day, we will focus on Hangeul only. You will learn simple sentences and expressions as a part of practice. We will clean up your pronunciation. By end of the day, you should be able to read and write most of the things that you hear -- in Korean and ACCURATELY!
This is one day only. So click "Read full details", RSVP, and make a plan to be there!

This event was moved from Second Saturday to Third Saturday for May only. We apologize for this change.

Let's meet for an easy-going and relaxed workshop - but on a serious topic: Korean Vocabulary.

We will use whatever tools necessary to expand our vocabulary. We will start with basics and move to practical then to higher level. We will be guided throughout the workshop to pick up new vocabs, play silly games, and sing silly songs. We will divide into groups - or be paired up - and help each other memorize new words and encourage each other to move forward and up.

Our focus is not on grammar, but you will be shown a quick-and-dirty grammar points that will help you double your vocabulary. We will also discuss what we do to help ourselves in this area.

As always, your RSVP is strongly recommended. Your RSVP helps us minimize the cost of the event - so that we can keep on organizing events like this at very low cost.

The workshop is free, and we ask one thing only: please buy a drink or two at the venue. Please support the venue so that they can support us.

Google Commemorates Hangeul Nal

Google doodle today, commemorating and celebrating the 565th Hangeul Day (제525돌 한글날) on Oct 10, 2011, Korea time (http://google.co.kr).

Hangeul is the name of Korean writing system, and the day falls on Oct 10 each year.

And, of course, the message is an addition by yours truly, not by Google. :)

How many characters can Hangeul create?

Hangeul (Korean writing system) has only 14 consonants and 10 vowels. Combining them, you can create virtually limitless sounds and characters.

So just out of curiosity, how many characters can Hangeul create?
