Hangul Mnemonic Card

$5.00

Digital

A two-sided 4×6 card on where the Hangul consonants came from: each basic letter is a small drawing of the mouth making its sound. A good one to keep in a notebook while you’re learning.

The front shows the five basic consonants next to simple drawings of how each sound is made: the tongue root for ㄱ, the tongue tip for ㄴ, the lips for ㅁ, a tooth for ㅅ and the throat for ㅇ. The back shows how the rest of the consonants grow from those five by adding strokes or doubling, and how the vowels are built from a dot and two lines. Every letter has its Revised Romanization. Once you know why the letters look the way they do, they’re much easier to remember.

It’s a download, and you can print it two ways. At home, use the Letter or A4 sheet: one fold-over card per page, printed single-sided at 100%. For a print shop, there’s a 4×6 in file with bleed for double-sided printing. A short how-to-print sheet walks through both.
