Korean Alphabet Workshop

These are the Korean consonants, in the order that they appear in the Korean alphabet. The Korean alphabet has no upper and lower case letters. There is one silent letter, but other letters can function as silent letters as well.

The consonants that can double as two sounds, like the letter biup, function as both letters. The Korean word for rice, "bap," can be pronounced as bop or pop. The b is not as hard as the English b, and not as soft as the English p. It is somewhere inbetween.
