How Hangul typing works

Korean is not typed letter after letter in a line. The letters stack into square blocks — one block per syllable. You type , , and the three snap together into .

That is why backspace here removes one letter, not the whole block. It is also why a consonant can jump forward: type then and you get 하나 — the leaves the first block and starts the second, because a syllable that has a vowel wants the consonant in front of it.

Every key on the board carries its QWERTY legend underneath, so the layout you learn here is the same one a Korean keyboard uses. It is the standard 2-set layout: consonants on the left hand, vowels on the right.

What to do with the text

Paste it into the romanizer to see how it reads in the Latin alphabet, or into the pronunciation converter to see how it is actually said out loud — those two often differ, and that gap is why Korean sounds unfamiliar even after you can read it.
