Korean is written in Hangul, an alphabet of 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels that are grouped into syllable blocks. This is the standard Dubeolsik (2-set) layout, with consonants under the left hand and vowels under the right.
Each box shows a key on a US (QWERTY) keyboard, the Korean character it types, and in grey the character it types with Shift.
Open this page and start typing. Each key on your keyboard is turned into the Korean character in the same position, as shown in the table above, so you don't need to change any settings. On a phone or tablet, tap the keys on screen.
Type the consonants and vowels in order and they join into syllable blocks automatically, for example ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ → 한. Press ⌫ to remove one letter at a time while a syllable is being built.
