A gentle, playful 3D way to learn Hangul. Learn Hangul, inspired by Cheon-Ji-In. Korean vowels originate from the sky, the earth, and a person. βγβ represents the sky (Cheon) βγ ‘β represents the earth (Ji) βγ £β represents a person (In) These three basic shapes combine to form every Korean vowel. Paired with consonants, they come together to create the full Hangul alphabet. With Som-Yee, learning Hangul feels playful and intuitive. Build letters like stacking blocks, explore patterns as you go, and enjoy the process of learning step by step.
