It's also interesting to note, that the Korean alphabet (Hangul) was formed to
simulate (albeit roughly) the characteristics of the mouth. When you say 'Gah',
the tongue acts similar to what the character shows if you picture a person's
face looking to the left (use those imaginations I -KNOW- you have... I tried
ASCII-fying that, but failed miserably).
This lesson was made using JavE!!! http://www.jave.de
Coming soon: The rest of the consonants, vowels, and syllable construction!
