Syllable Builder
Every Korean syllable is a block: initial consonant + vowel (+ an optional final consonant). Pick the parts and watch the block form.
Try: ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 한 · ㄱ + ㅡ + ㄹ = 글
Practice Tools
Six free tools for everyday Korean: pronunciation rules, numbers, particles, dictation, typing Hangul on an English keyboard and printable writing sheets.
Korean is not always read the way it is written. Pick a rule and a word to see and hear how it is really pronounced.
Korean has two number systems. Type a number to see both, plus how it is read for time, dates, money and counting.
Choose the right particle. The answer depends on whether the word ends with a final consonant (batchim).
Listen and write what you hear. Answers are checked letter by letter.
No Korean keyboard? Type with English letters as if a Korean keyboard were switched on — we turn it into Hangul.
Make an A4 Hangul writing sheet: pick the letters, choose how many rows, then print or save it as a PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Are these resources really free?
Yes. Everything on this page is free to use. Some official sites, such as Nuri-Sejong Hakdang, ask you to create a free account first.
How long does it take to learn Hangul?
Many beginners can read the basic letters after a few days of regular practice. Natural pronunciation and fluent writing take longer, which is where a teacher helps.
Where can I get TOPIK past papers?
Past papers are published on the official TOPIK website. We link to the official source instead of re-uploading the files, so you always get the correct version.
The Listen button makes no sound. What should I do?
Pronunciation uses your device’s built-in Korean voice. Try Chrome, or add a Korean voice in your phone or computer settings, then reload the page.
Is my progress saved?
Your progress is stored only in this browser on this device. iSeodang does not collect it.
How do the free email tips work?
After you confirm your email, you get a welcome email and then one short lesson a week for 4 weeks. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and we never sell or share your details.
