Korean Syllable Analyzer

What it is

Korean Syllable Analyzer breaks each Hangul syllable into its three building blocks—Initial (choseong), Medial (jungseong), and Final (jongseong/batchim)—and shows a compact romanization for each. You can type any Korean text, click Analyze to see per-syllable decomposition, and use Read (TTS) with an adjustable speech rate. Non-Hangul characters are flagged so learners see exactly what’s analyzable.

Levels

Level 1 — Spot the Block: Recognize that each printed syllable (e.g., 강) is a bundle of sounds.
Level 2 — Split into Jamo: Identify Initial–Medial–Final for common syllables (e.g., 강 → ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅇ).
Level 3 — Finals (Batchim): Focus on final consonants and their typical romanization (e.g., ㄱ → “k”, ㅇ → “ng”).
Level 4 — Contrast Sets: Practice minimal pairs and triplets (강/간/감, 박/밖/밟) to lock in meaning-critical endings.
Level 5 — Fluency Drills: Analyze full words and short sentences to build speed and accuracy.

Note: The analyzer decomposes orthographic structure and displays standard romanization cues; it doesn’t simulate all phonological assimilation rules in connected speech.

How to Use

Type Korean text into the input field (e.g., “한국어 공부”).
Click Analyze to generate a grid of syllables with:
- The syllable (e.g., 한),
- A combo romanization (e.g., han),
- Chips for Initial / Medial / Final with per-part romanization (e.g., Initial ㄴ → “n”; Final ㅇ → “ng”).
Use Read to hear the full text via TTS (browser support may vary).
Adjust Speech rate to slow down or speed up playback.
Click Clear to reset the input and results.
Press Enter in the input to run Analyze quickly.

What You’ll Gain

Structure awareness: See exactly how a Korean syllable is built (C-V-(C)).
Batchim mastery: Internalize which finals appear and how they influence reading/meaning.
Romanization mapping: Build a mental bridge between Hangul parts and common romanization cues.
Reading confidence: Move faster from letters to syllables to words with fewer mistakes.
Error spotting: Instantly notice non-Hangul characters or mixed scripts in copied text.

Pro Tips

Start with open syllables (no final), then add finals: 가 → 각 → 값 → 갉.
Build contrast ladders: 강 → 간 → 감 → 갑 → 같 to hear and feel final-consonant effects.
For ㅇ: remember silent as Initial, ng as Final.
Use speech rate to shadow TTS: slow for shaping, normal for fluency.
Analyze authentic text (menus, signs, headlines) to keep practice meaningful.

One-Line Summary

Decompose any Hangul syllable into Initial–Medial–Final with clear romanization cues, turning opaque blocks into understandable, speakable building units.
