Learning Hangul

As of last week, we are attempting to learn Korean! 

While they say the Korean alphabet is one of the easiest in the world to learn, the sounds that go with the letters sure don't seem easy to me. 

Hubby is doing really well with his letters, as he loves all things logical, but I still don't know my alphabet. Could it be that he is also more disciplined and has studied more?

So far, I am really happy we chose to attend Korean class, even if I never end up being able to say more than Hello and Thank You. There are some great benefits to attending the class other than learning the fundamentals of the language; we are also learning about Korean culture from a Korean, and we've met other adoptive parents that have adopted or will adopt from Korea. 

Here are some great links to learn some basic Korean at home:
