A Step-by-Step Guide to Learn the Korean

Keyboard

From: Korean Typing

Why Learn Korean Typing?


The skill of typing in Korean has double the bene t since most newer phones
have the ability to install full Korean keyboards.
You’ll put these exact same skills into use when texting!
But perhaps one of the biggest bene ts of learning how to type is that it is
one of the best ways we know of to help you get better at Korean. It connects
you virtually to the world of Korean speakers and at that point, your options
are limitless!
From solidifying the basics of tting characters together to learning new slang
phrases, texting and typing in Korean will be a linchpin in your journey toward
Korean uency.

Getting Started
Today we will progress through ve steps in our journey toward becoming
Korean typing masters. If you haven’t yet learned the Korean characters, we
recommend you do so before learning the skill of typing Korean. It’s fast and
easy, so no reason not to start!

Step 1: The Right Tools for Typing in Korean
The rst step in our journey is to learn the Korean keyboard layout. The
creators were also masters of the mind and liked to keep things simple. There
are two widely known Korean keyboard layouts, known as 2-set and 3-set
respectively. Although there are others, these are the best known and even
then, the 2-set Korean keyboard layout is the most widely used by Korean
speakers, so we’ll be focusing on that one.

Choose the Korean Keyboard that Works for You


Before you install the Korean keyboard software on your computer (or at least
before you start typing with con dence), you’ll need to make a decision.
Most English speakers probably didn’t buy their computers in Korea, so
chances are the Korean characters are not written on the keyboard.

Installing the Korean Keyboard Layout on your


Computer
To get started, you’ll need to install the Korean keyboard on your computer.
If you’re on a Mac, follow these instructions:
1. System Preferences
2. Keyboard
3. + → Korean → 2-Set Korean
For Windows, follow these instructions:
1. Control Panel
2. Change keyboard or other input methods
3. Change keyboards
4. Add → Korean (Korea) → Microsoft IME

Step 2: Learning the 2-Set Korean Keyboard Layout
With the 2-set Korean Keyboard installed, let’s orient ourselves with the
letters. On the left are the consonants. Notice how all of the aspirated
consonants are on the bottom row!

Conveniently, all the vowels are on the right! See them here in blue:

But where are the missing vowels and the double consonants you may ask?
You’ve just got to believe, young one, and they will appear (or — just hold
shift)! See what happens when you hold down the shift key. Cool! New
characters!

Step 3: Memorize the Korean Keyboard Layout
Even if you’ve elected to use a Keyboard with the Korean characters on it (or
stickers), you’ll be served immensely in your typing ventures by committing
the layout to memory.
To do this, we recommend using mnemonics. These are associations using
stories or images that you can use to remember

Step 4: Start Typing in Korean


Now that we’ve got the basics covered, it’s time to start typing!
A stepping stone to using a Korean keyboard is to rst get in some practice
and an online keyboard is a great way to do that.
This is especially valuable if you will be typing on a computer without the
Korean characters written on it.
This option helps you get a feel for the layout of a standard Korean keyboard.

Step 5: Practice Your Korean Typing


The last step is simply to get lots of practice. This is the real fun part!
Get used to typing with the Korean keyboard and eventually it will become
second nature. Facebook, forums, websites, messengers — the internet is now
yours to explore!
