How Hangul syllables are typed: consonant + vowel + final

You do not type a whole block like 한 at once. You type its letters in the order you say them: first consonant, vowel, then the final consonant if there is one. The keyboard assembles the block for you.

ㅎ → 하 → 한. Then keep typing: ㄱ → 구 → 국, and you have 한국.

There is no key to press between blocks. Just keep typing the next letter.

A block always starts with a consonant. When a syllable starts with a vowel sound, type the silent ㅇ first: 아 = ㅇ + ㅏ.
