Hangul,korean language has 10 vowels and 14 consonants. The alphabet may appear complicated, but it is actually easy to learn.

When speaking Korean, you use formal or informal words and phrases, depending on the status of the person to whom you are talking. For example, you generally use informal speech to children and formal speech to older people. It is better to speak by being too formal rather than showing disrespect. However, Koreans do not expect foreigners to be fluent and will usually excuse minor mistakes.

NOTES: Phrases use the informal level of politeness except those denoted with (F). If you see a lot of garbage on your screen, you need to set your Web browser to read Korean characters.
