Hangul day

What is Hangul day?

It is a national Korean commemorative day marking the invention and proclamation of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, by the 15th-century Korean King Sejong the Great. It is the 9th of October.

Koreans celebrate the holiday by taking the day off of school and work to reflect on this writing system. One way they do this is by exploring the National Hangeul Museum, where exhibits showcase Hangul letters and their impact on the country.

The alphabets

The Korean alphabet or Hangul consists of 24 basic letters: 14 consonants (ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ) and 10 vowels (ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ).

Now we will practice writing in Hangul. :)
