Hangul Syllable Converter

What it is

English → Hangul Syllable Converter turns a simple romanized syllable (e.g., mak, at, ga) into one or more valid Hangul syllable(s). It parses the input into onset (initial), vowel (medial), and coda (final/batchim), then composes matching Hangul. For ambiguous English endings like k / t / p, it shows the common batchim options. You can also read aloud the result via TTS and adjust speech rate.

Levels

Level 1 — Basic Mapping: Convert straightforward patterns (e.g., ga, mu, ri) to single Hangul results.
Level 2 — Finals Intro: Add simple codas (e.g., gat → 같다-family, gap → 값-family) and see how batchim works.
Level 3 — Ambiguity Sets: Explore t/k/p groups where English maps to several finals (e.g., at → 앋/앗/았/앚/앛/앝).
Level 4 — Minimal Pairs: Contrast outputs (mak → 막/맊/맠, ap → 압/앞) to hear/see meaning-critical endings.
Level 5 — Fluency Drill: Rapidly convert a list of romanized items to improve speed and accuracy.

Note: This tool composes orthographically valid syllables from common romanization patterns; it does not implement all connected-speech assimilation rules.

How to Use

Type a romanized syllable (e.g., mak, at, ga) into the input field.
Click Convert to see one or more Hangul buttons (each is a possible composition).
Click Read to hear the first result via TTS; adjust Speech rate as needed.
If multiple results appear, read each and compare endings (batchim) to feel the contrast.
Click Clear to reset.
Use Enter as a quick shortcut to convert after typing.

What You’ll Gain

Onset–Vowel–Coda awareness: Understand how English-like patterns map to Hangul structure.
Batchim literacy: See common finals and how English k/t/p can realize as several Korean codas.
Pronunciation scaffolding: TTS + repetition helps shape accurate syllable timing and closure.
Spelling intuition: Build a mental link between romanization and standard Hangul compositions.
Speed & confidence: Convert quickly and choose the right final for real words later.

Pro Tips

Start with open syllables (no final): ga, mu, ri → then add codas: gat, gam, gal.
For t-final English, try sets like at, et, ot and observe multiple Hangul outcomes.
Shadow TTS: slow rate for shaping, normal rate for fluency.
Keep inputs syllable-sized (one onset + one vowel + optional final) for best results.
Build “ladder drills”: ga → gat → gap → gal → gang to lock in contrasts.

One-Line Summary

Convert romanized syllables into Hangul—including ambiguous finals—and cement onset–vowel–coda mapping with read-aloud support for fast, confident pronunciation.
