How to write words in Korean

~ First off, Vowels in the Korean language may be attached to the right or beneath the consonant.

Examples:

가 - vowel to the right

고 - wowel underneath

더 - vowel to the right

두 - vowel underneath

ㄱ + ㅏ = 가 (gah)

ㅂ + ㅣ = 비 (bee)

ㅁ + ㅗ = 모 (moh)

"consonant + vowel + consonant" --

ㄲ + ㅜ + ㅇ = 꿍 (kkoong)

ㅁ + ㅓ + ㄱ = 먹 (meok)

"consonant + vowel + consonant + consonant" --

ㅇ + ㅣ + ㄹ + ㄱ = 읽(eelk)
