Learn the Korean Alphabet (Hangeul/한글)

Here are some resources for learning Hangeul (한글), the alphabet used in the Korean language.
It is absolutely essential that you learn the alphabet at the beginning of your Korean journey,
as you cannot simply rely on romanisation of Korean words!

The Korean alphabet contains just 24 letters, so it is very easy to learn!
