Talk:Learn hangeul

I'm using this talk page to propose a format for the Hangeul pages. This section should be completed in the very near future as it's frequently visited. -WikiSysop 16:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

It looks pretty good to me. Mstrum 18:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Learning Hangeul

I propose a 6 step program for learning Hangeul.

• Each step will teach you 3-5 vowels and 3-5 consonants depending on the step. For example first step might teach the person ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㅁ (consonants) and 아, 어, 이.
• These pages won't go into detail too much and will teach the basic pronunciation.
• Show the stroke order for characters
• Audio clips for individual sounds (must be voiced by a native speaker).
• Audio clips for words in the section (must be voiced by a native speaker).
• Gradually introduce things like 받침 sounds

Steps

Possible steps:

• Step 1: [ㄱ,ㄴ,ㄷ,ㅁ,ㅂ], [아,어,오,우]
• Step 2: [ㅅ,ㅇ,ㅈ,ㄹ], [이,애,에,으]
• Step 3: [ㅋ,ㅌ,ㅊ,ㅍ], [야,여,요,유,얘,예]
• Step 4: 받침 sounds
• Step 5: [ㄲ,ㄸ,ㅆ,ㅃ], [와,왜,외,워,웨,위,의]
• Old Korean: Letters that are not used anymore (might be interesting for advanced users or those wishing to research Hangeul in depth)

I'd like it to explain the easier sounds first.

Individual pages

Each Hangeul letter(자모) should have a detailed page:

• Basic sound
• Sound in the initial position (with audio)
• Sound in the middle position (with audio)
• Sound in the final 받침 position (with audio)
• Other sounds this letter is capable of making (i.e. through consonant assimilation)
• Background information on the character, for example where it was derived from.
• IPA
• Stroke order diagram
• Stroke order animation
• Links to any consonant assimilation rule that applies to this character
• Plenty of examples with audio
• UPDATED: Every possible way to write the character, some characters have many variations.

Misc

• Top template as well as a bottom page template that links to the advanced page of each Korean character. Possibly split the vowels and consonants onto separate rows? Any sort of fancy design with nice colors? Possibly consonants as red and vowels as blue?
• Yeah, that sounds like a GREAT idea. Mstrum 04:03, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
