Hangul, the alphabet of the beautiful Korean language, consists of vowels and consonants. Let's embark on a journey to explore them!

Korean consonants, known as 자음 (ja-eum), total 14. The first consonant is ㄱ (giyeok), which produces a strong and sharp sound like "gireut gireut." It symbolizes strength and sharpness. Next, we have ㄴ (nieun), which creates a soft and gentle sound like "neugeut neugeut," representing softness. Then comes ㄷ (digeut), producing a firm and definite sound like "ddabun ddabun," symbolizing firmness. ㄹ (rieul) produces a fast-paced sound like "ppallang ppallang," representing quick movements and passion.
