Description

Begin your experience in Gwanghwamun at the statue of King Sejong, the king who created Hangeul in the 15th century. Hear the story of why Hangeul was created and what makes it so unique. Then, walk to a comfortable nearby space for a fun and interactive introduction to Korean letters. Learn the basic consonants and vowels, understand how Korean syllable blocks are formed, and practice reading and creating simple words. Instead of a traditional classroom lesson, use specially prepared Hangeul-shaped snacks to build Korean characters, participate in quizzes and games, and learn how to write your own name in Korean. At the end of the experience, create a personalized wooden Korean name tag decorated with traditional mother-of-pearl inspired designs. Take home a unique souvenir that you made yourself — and something that connects your own identity with Korean culture.
