Why build your own Korean vowel and consonant flashcards

Hangul has 24 basic letters, 14 consonants and 10 vowels, and beginners most often confuse pairs that look alike or differ only by a single stroke. Korean vowel and consonant flashcards work best when they follow the exact chart in your course, because the romanization and examples often differ between textbooks.

  • Matches the romanization and examples used in your own course
  • Covers consonants and vowels in the same deck or separate decks
  • Spaced repetition brings back the letters you keep missing
  • Export to Anki or CSV on Plus if you want cards on another app
Example Korean vowel and consonant flashcards
What sound does ㅏ make?a, as in the vowel in "father".
What sound does ㅓ make?eo, a rounded-mouth vowel close to the "u" in "fun".
What is the difference between ㄱ and ㅋ?ㄱ is a plain, unaspirated k/g sound; ㅋ is aspirated, with a clear puff of breath.
What sound does ㅂ make between vowels?A soft sound between p and b, because it is voiced in that position.
What sound does ㅡ make?eu, a vowel with no exact English match; say "uh" with the lips spread.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of your handout. Text recognition reads the letters so the cards match what your teacher uses.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know fade into longer gaps, so the vowels and consonants stick.

Study in the browser

The free plan includes three generations per month and browser study. Plus adds export to Anki and CSV for drilling on other devices.

How it works

Upload your chart

Add the PDF, slide or photo of the Hangul table you are learning from.

Generate the cards

DeckOwl creates front-and-back flashcards for the vowels and consonants on that page.

Review on a schedule

Study the deck and let spaced repetition bring back the letters you find hardest.

Start by photographing or uploading the page you study from. DeckOwl reads the text and produces cards you can flip in the browser, with spaced repetition scheduling the reviews so the difficult letters come back more often.

Once the basic letters feel automatic, regenerate cards from your next lesson's syllable blocks to practice reading them as whole syllables.

Frequently asked questions

How should I tell apart Korean consonants that sound similar?

Practice them in pairs, such as plain ㄱ, aspirated ㅋ and tense ㄲ. Say each one aloud while holding a sheet of paper in front of your mouth to feel how much breath comes out.

Should I learn the vowels or the consonants first?

Most learners start with the basic consonants and the simple vowels together, since you need both to read a syllable block. Keep the first deck small so you can review it daily.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the flashcards in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free way to try DeckOwl?

Yes, the free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
