    It really is easy to learn. The consonants (generally) make the same shape as your tongue does when making the sound. For example the letter makes the sound “n”. I learned to read it in a few weeks just hanging around Uijeongbu.

      My wife picked up reading Hangul pretty quickly. She says it’s easy to read and write but difficult to speak. Japanese is the opposite, easier to speak but harder to read and write.

        Speaking for me is always the hardest part of learning a language. Reading, writing, and listening are fairly simple but forming a full spoken sentence properly can be daunting.
