Korean alphabet chart — 140 syllables with audio A1

The classic 14 × 10 Hangul chart (가 갸 거 겨 …): every basic consonant combined with every basic vowel, romanized, each tappable to hear the syllable.

Read it like a multiplication table

Rows are consonants, columns are vowels. row × column = . Korean children learn this as 가나다라 the way English children learn ABC. Tap any cell to hear it; the romanization under each cell is Revised Romanization and disappears if you turn romanization off in the toolbar.

The row has no initial sound — 아 야 어 여 are the bare vowels. Tensed consonants (까 따 빠 싸 짜) and compound vowels are on their own lessons.
