                                              VOWELS
A (ㅏ) 
E (ㅔ) 
I (ㅣ) 
O (ㅗ) 
U (ㅜ) 
                          *when the word is starting with a vowel, the letter should have "ㅇ" before
[아 (a) / 에 (e) / 이 (i) / 오 (o) / 우 (u)]
                          *when there is a letter "y" before the vowel, the vowel will have double line
[야 (ya) / 예 (ye) / 요 (yo) / 유 (yu)]

                          *when two vowels are put together,  you will only read the second vowel. 
[ㅐ(ae) /ㅓ(eo) / ㅡ (eu)]
[ 애       /어       / 으 ]
                          CONSONANT
b - (ㅂ)     j - (ㅈ)      n - (ㄴ)     t - (ㅌ)
d - (ㄷ)     k - (ㅋ)     p - (ㅍ)     w - (오)
g - (ㄱ)      l - (ㄹ)     r - (ㄹ)
h - (ㅎ)     m - (ㅁ)   s - (ㅅ)
                          DOUBLE LETTERS
[ㅃ / ㅉ / ㄸ / ㄲ / ㅆ ]
                          EXTRA LETTERS
ng (ㅇ)
ch (ㅊ)


                          *Note: the reason why some letters are missing is because, in Korean, how you pronounce it is how you write it...
                          Examples:
C sounds like K 
Candy = Kendi (캔디)
                          F is pronounced as P
                          Q is pronounced as "kuwi"
