How to read it

Korean letters stack into blocks — one block is one syllable. Tap a block to hear it and see its letters.

ㅇsilentconsonant
+
ㅓ“eo”vowel
+
ㄹ“l”end consonant
↓
얼“eol”block

A block can't start with a vowel, so a silent ㅇ holds the first spot.

Tip: Hold the ㄹ in 걸려 across both syllables: 'geol-lyeo'.
