Reading and writing practice
The Korean text pronunciation feature (🔊) is only available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Opera browsers.
Now that you have already learned all Korean letters and the concept of syllable blocks, you should be able to read and write any Korean word. However, before we proceed, let's do some short reading and writing exercise.
You will find some Korean words below. Try to read aloud and write these words by yourself.
If you want to know whether you read the word correctly, click on it and listen to how it's pronounced. If you want to make sure that your stroke as well as letters order is correct, move your mouse over the word.
Before starting this exercise, make sure you have learned all the basic reading rules from this lesson.
