Talk:Korean/Principles of Orthography

Untitled
Hello,

It's nice to see that somebody is working on improving the Korean lessons now. Thank you! I wonder whether it would be possible to make a step-by-step introduction to the Korean script, as is being done with Modern Greek. I believe that this method works much better than just listing all the consonants and vowels. The basis for the Greek writing lessons was an effort to think up a lot of words and (place) names that sound similar in Greek and English. See Modern Greek/Writing lessons plan. Armed with such a list, it's possible to find an order for the introduction of letters that does not introduce more than one letter at a time except at the very beginning. I'd be glad to help you if you'd like to develop something similar for Korean, however I don't speak any Korean, I can just read the script fairly well. I'd like to learn how to speak Korean, but I haven't yet found a good course. I know the very extensive free online course offered by the university of Sogang, but I haven't been able to study with it because the dialogues are spoken too quickly and I'm unable to distinguish the words and sounds as well as I expect to. Anyway, thank you for your efforts!

Not in this section, probably in another one, though. The truth is, Hangul is best represented by tables for consonants, but I could see your point if we consider vowels, because they are more patterned. I'll try to think of something, and any layout ideas would be helpful - Iamgravity 06:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
