Why this course
나무 tree
Every instruction is in plain English, so you always know what to type next.
D → ㅇD
The 두벌식 layout is built into the page. Nothing to install or switch, on any computer or phone.
ㅇ → 아 → 안
Syllables change shape while you type. The course checks each jamo, so ㅇ on its way to 안 is never counted as a mistake.
안 + ㅏ → 아나
⇧ + ㅅ → ㅆ
Learn why 안 followed by ㅏ becomes 아나, and when to reach for Shift to get ㅆ or ㄲ.
