1. How each ten-minute session works
- 2 minutes: review — write three letters or words from yesterday without "Show me"
- 5 minutes: something new — watch "Show me", trace, press "Listen" and say it aloud
- 3 minutes: one row on paper from the printed worksheet
2. Week 1: letters and blocks
- Day 1: consonants ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ (g/k, n, d/t, r/l, m, b/p, s)
- Day 2: consonants ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ (silent/ng, j, ch, k, t, p, h)
- Day 3: vowels ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ (a, ya, eo, yeo, o)
- Day 4: vowels ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ (yo, u, yu, eu, i)
- Day 5: the 가나다 row, 가 (ga) to 하 (ha)
- Day 6: build your own blocks — type 고 노 도 … and 구 누 두 … into "Practice my own word"
- Day 7: review — print the consonant and vowel worksheets and fill one row of each
3. Week 2: picture words
- Day 8: pets and farm, short words — 소 (cow), 말 (horse), 양 (sheep), 닭 (chicken)
- Day 9: pets and farm, longer words — 고양이 (cat), 강아지 (dog), 햄스터 (hamster)
- Day 10: zoo and savanna — 사자 (lion), 하마 (hippo), 기린 (giraffe)
- Day 11: forest and garden — 곰 (bear), 벌 (bee), 나비 (butterfly), 무당벌레 (ladybug)
- Day 12: ocean and polar — 게 (crab), 고래 (whale), 펭귄 (penguin), 바다코끼리 (walrus)
- Day 13: everyday objects — 컵 (cup), 공 (ball), 모자 (hat), 우산 (umbrella)
- Day 14: review — download a ready-made worksheet and write four animal names on your own
4. Reading the help on screen
Every Korean letter shows its name and sound (ㄱ giyeok · sounds like g / k) and every word its romanization and meaning (고양이 goyangi · “cat”). Treat romanization as a bridge: by week 2, read the Hangul first and check the romanization after.
5. If you fall behind
Repeat rather than skip. If a day feels hard, do it again the next day before moving on. Look-alike pairs (ㅏ/ㅓ, ㅗ/ㅜ, ㄷ/ㄹ) are worth an extra session of their own.
6. For teachers and families
In class, project "Show me" on the board and have learners trace each stroke in the air before writing. Families raising children with two languages can follow the same plan together: the child traces on a tablet while the parent writes the same word on paper.

FAQ
Is ten minutes a day really enough?
For learning to write the letters, short daily sessions usually work better than one long one. Speaking and grammar take more time, but neat Hangul is a solid first step.
Do I need a stylus?
No. A finger or a mouse works. A stylus feels closest to a pencil, and the paper worksheets build pencil control.
What comes after the 14 days?
Write the words from your Korean course with "Practice my own word", then move on to double consonants (ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ) and combined vowels (ㅐ ㅔ ㅘ ㅝ …).
