안녕하새요!
It seems everyone with an opinion is on board with using this website:
https://www.howtostudykorean.com/
Which is great because I know we all have that. My job then will be to step us through the lessons/assignments and mix enough stuff to keep us from reverting back to "following lessons on our own." I got some Talk to Me in Korean books for me and will post lessons/assignments etc. from there when I think they are interesting.
So let's do our first "sharpen your pencils" kind of warmup assignment(s).
I am a big believer in writing things down as a way to learn/remember them. That way you know they were in your brain at least once.
So, write down the Korean vowels and consonants, along with their romanizations.
And since we are done copypasting from google translate (except as needed for jokes, of course) set your keyboard(s) to be able to enter Hangul if you haven't already (the links aren't special, I just googled them):
Mobile: https://learning-korean.com/elementary/20210222-10675/
Windows: https://www.koreanfluent.com/cross_cultural/korean_keyboard/korean-keyboard-windows-7.htm
MacOSX: https://support.apple.com/guide/korean-input-method/welcome/mac (The layouts I run into on image search are the 2-set Korean version)
Ubuntu Linux: https://linuxreviews.org/HOWTO_get_Korean_input_on_Ubuntu
Other Linux distros: You're smart, figure it out.
Extra credit if you fill out the attached image with the Hangul character(s), the romanization, and whatever is on there on your normal keyboard.
Look for our first real lesson Saturday evening, Eastern America Time.
그때 만나!
@tdhssh I have a chromebook (and it's administrated by my school) so I doubt I can get a hangul keyboard, but I can just keep copypasting 
Oh! I thought you might be on your phone. Hmmm...
That's OK, I still want you to write out any exercises on a piece of paper whenever you can. It really is about making it go through your brain, and every little bit helps. I mean, we'll never know the difference, but that is one of the many, many reasons why TDOONG High School Study Hall is not accredited by the educational ministries of either republic of Korea.
@ShaMyouiMo there are also online keyboards like
@SuitedUpDev Thank you so much!!
@ShaMyouiMo No worries! :D
Like, write it on a piece of paper?
Yes, precisely.
@tdhssh
Wait when is this due?
@tdhssh i like how ubuntu users aren't smart 
@kpopncommunism @tdhssh that's a GOOD waluigi drawing
@tdhssh how badly I do still want to send something... I just had 2, 16 hour workdays and I'm currently traveling towards a bed.
So let's be realistic here, that's currently not gonna happen 😅
@tdhssh expect me to be dead, i don't expect to have actual spare time to commit to learning for the foreseeable half a year
i'm still going to follow, but read-only
@tdhssh @momo @kpopncommunism @dogfox @SuitedUpDev @sakurako @dwarf WHO IS RUNNING THIS ACCOUNT
@ShaMyouiMo not gonna lie, I do kinda wanna know.
@tdhssh @kpopncommunism @dogfox @SuitedUpDev @sakurako @ShaMyouiMo @dwarf hehe i got a star 
:aisaasap:
@tdhssh @kpopncommunism @dogfox @SuitedUpDev @sakurako @ShaMyouiMo @dwarf 선생님!!!!!! :ajping:
@tdhssh di dyou know that hangul was created in part to promote literacy in feudal korea, and in order to make the consonants easier to learn they made them resemble your mouth shape when you say them??
the ㄱ is supposed to look like your tongue pushing the back of your mouth, and the ㄴ is your tongue pushing your front teeth!!
it's also cool that ㄴ is considered in the same group as ㄹ, sometimes they even get romanized the same like in the common surname roh (노)
Well done to everyone who completed the assignment early!

Let's see,
@SuitedUpDev ,
@sakurako ,
@ShaMyouiMo ,
should I expect something from you in the next few hours? I won't offer feedback after that.
@dwarf , will you be joining us?
I am well pleased with all you so far. Let us take a moment to review what we have learned.
Some rules I am sure you all noticed:
• There are more vowels in Hangul than the Latin alphabet (8 vs 5.5, counting only monopthings (i.e. pure vowel sounds where your tongue dos not move to say them) and fewer consonants (13 vs 20.5 Good job "y").
• Doubling the short line on a vowel adds a "y" sound in front (these are the simplest kind of dipthong (compound vowels where the tongue DOES move) in Korean. See @kpopncommunism 's answer for the other Korean dipthongs)
• There is no "f" consonant in Korean. That is why the fandom for LE SSERAFIM, FEARNOT, is written 피어나 (meaning "to bloom". Which made reading their translated weverse weird as hell, lemme tell ya)
• The character "ㄹ", rommanized "r/l", is said like a "hard L". It is at the consonant at the heart of all those racist Asian accent gags in English.
Please discussed in the replies with your fellow students any observations or mnemonics you use to help you with reading Hangul.
• How do you remember the difference between "ㅏ" and "ㅓ"? "ㅜ" and "ㅗ"? or "ㄴ" and "ㄱ"?
• What sounds do/don't appear in Korean that don't/do appear in another language you speak?
Lesson to support the next weeks assignments will be posted within the next few hours.
