Korean Alphabet Worksheets: Printable Hangul Workbook

If you’re raising a child outside Korea, you may have wondered how to introduce Korean in a way that feels natural and fun. Getting Korean books shipped internationally can be expensive and slow, and local bookstores often don’t carry the right materials. On top of that, many kids resist long, boring lessons. Korean alphabet worksheets can make all the difference. Instead of endless drilling, they turn learning into playful activities — tracing, coloring, puzzles, and even listening practice. Because they’re printable, you can start right away at home and adapt the pace to your child’s needs.

In this post, I’ll also share a video preview of the workbook so you can see what’s inside, along with where you can get your own copy if it feels right for your family.

Why I Created This Korean Alphabet Workbook

The Beginning: Teaching Hangul Abroad

When my child reached the age to start learning letters, I began looking for a Korean school. Honestly, I wasn’t confident about teaching a language on my own, and many parents around me were sending their kids to Korean programs, so it felt like the natural option. Most of these programs, however, were weekend-only — and weekends were when my child most wanted to play and spend time with us. As I thought more about it, I realized that what my child needed most at this stage wasn’t another class, but quality time with parents. On top of learning English during the week, I didn’t want to add more pressure with extra lessons.

I decided to try teaching Hangul at home. At first, I couldn’t find the right book. Ordering from Korea wasn’t just expensive — the bigger problem was that I couldn’t flip through the books myself to see if my child would actually be interested. I didn’t want to blindly spend money on something that might end up sitting unused. The few resources I did find locally felt too dry. Out of frustration, I made a worksheet for ㄱ — and to my surprise, my child loved it. The worksheet wasn’t just about tracing; it included coloring and cutting activities. Since kids that age love crafts, “Hangul time” quickly became something exciting. Instead of resisting, my child started asking to do it again.

Reactions from Other Parents

I first shared a few worksheets with a close friend who had been struggling with the same questions and had recently pulled her child out of weekend Korean school. From there, I began passing them along to the kids we often had playdates with. The response was immediate.

Parents told me that even though their children had attended Korean school, they often forgot what they learned during the week. With these worksheets, they could practice a little bit every day at home, which felt easier and less stressful for the kids.

Several parents also mentioned how much they enjoyed sitting down to color and do activities together, turning Hangul practice into quality parent–child time.

A few even shared that they didn’t know much Korean themselves, but because every page includes English translations and pronunciation guides, they could study alongside their children — making the experience meaningful for the whole family.

Why Start Small with Consonants and Vowels

Rather than release a massive workbook, I began with just consonants and vowels. Language learning can feel overwhelming, so I wanted families to test it without pressure. Starting small makes it easier for children to build confidence and for parents to decide if the style fits their needs.

I also found that keeping the scope limited made it less stressful for me as a parent. My child didn’t feel burdened either, and that experience made me believe the same approach would help anyone starting a new language — it feels much lighter and more manageable when you begin with small steps.

Looking Ahead – Future Plans

I’m still creating more sets for my child, and I plan to continue until she can read comfortably. After consonants and vowels, the next step will naturally be the combined sounds — for example, double consonants like ㄲ or syllables made by joining consonants and vowels together (가, 나, 다…). From there, the workbooks will move on to simple words, short sentences, and eventually stories. My goal is to keep Hangul learning light, interactive, and enjoyable at every stage, so that progress feels natural rather than forced.
