<p>
    In this first lesson, you'll learn some Korean characters, and you'll translate some Korean sentences using those characters into English.
</p>

<p>
    Then in the next lesson, you'll learn how to type some Korean sentences yourself.
</p>

<p>
    First, take a look at the table below.
    You don't need to memorize it, because you'll learn the sounds in time with practice.
    But for now, see if you can see some patterns.
</p>

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Character</th>
      <th>Sound</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td>가</td><td>ga</td></tr>
    <tr><td>나</td><td>na</td></tr>
    <tr><td>다</td><td>da</td></tr>
    <tr><td>도</td><td>do</td></tr>
    <tr><td>디</td><td>di</td></tr>
    <tr><td>무</td><td>mu</td></tr>
    <tr><td>바</td><td>ba</td></tr>
    <tr><td>시</td><td>si</td></tr>
    <tr><td>아</td><td>a</td></tr>
    <tr><td>어</td><td>eo</td></tr>
    <tr><td>에</td><td>e</td></tr>
    <tr><td>요</td><td>yo</td></tr>
    <tr><td>이</td><td>i</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<p>
    By looking at the table, can you see that each character is composed of two parts?
    Can you figure out which character part stand for the <strong>a</strong> sound?
    And which character part stands for the <strong>i</strong> sound?
    What about the <strong>d</strong> sound?
    And is there also a character which has no sound at all?
</p>

<p>
    Ok, now it's time to press the button below to start learning to translate some words from Korean to English.
</p>

<p>
    It's totally fine if you don't know how to translate any word yet.
    If you don't know, just hit the Enter or Return key and we'll show you the answer.
