In this 90-minute workshop, you will explore Hangeul’s history and discover how its letters were designed. You’ll learn the basics of Korean consonants and vowels, practice reading simple syllables, and write your own name in Korean.
To wrap up, participants will create a personalized bookmark with their name in Hangeul, decorated with Korean-themed stickers.
