All 40 letters of the Korean alphabet — 19 consonants and 21 vowels — with the sound each one makes. Cards run in learning order: the simple vowels first, then the plain consonants, the aspirated and tense series, and finally the compound vowels that trip up most beginners. The backs flag the letters whose sound changes by position and the ones modern Korean has quietly merged.
