The first time when I was going to write the Korean language, it was so difficult to remember the shape of characters. The all looked similar in my eyes and I had no idea how to memorize them. Later, I found the online resources and knew there are Korean word structure and basic letters.
The following are the first set of Korean consonants that you need to get into your brain. There is no easy way to explain them, you just need to memorize them:
ㄱ= k
ㄴ= n
ㄷ= d
ㄹ=r/l*
ㅁ= m
ㅂ= b
ㅅ= s
ㅈ= j
ㅎ= h
Later I learned that there is no perfect way to represent Korean characters using English letters (or sounds). The English letters presented above are the letters that we will commonly find being used to represent their respective Korean letters. While it is helpful (at first) to memorize the general sound of a Korean letter by using the English letter.
