Learn to Read Korean in 15 Minutes

What it actually is

Ryan Estrada's famous free comic maps each Hangul letter to a picture that looks like its sound, and most people really can sound out Korean words by the end of it. It is the fastest possible on-ramp and costs nothing. It teaches shapes and sounds only — it will not give you correct pronunciation of the trickier consonants or any of the sound-change rules, so follow it with a proper Hangul course.
