How do jamo combine into syllables?
Each Korean syllable is a block of 2 or 3 jamo: consonant + vowel, optionally + final consonant. Once you know the jamo in this quiz, you can read any block by assembling the parts.
What does the circle jamo do?
At the start of a syllable it is silent, acting as a placeholder before a vowel. At the end of a syllable it sounds ng, as in ring.
