Download and Install

Although you can easily bookmark this page and always come here to use Hangeul Assistant, you may want to install it for quick use and for those times you may not have access to the internet. To install Hangeul Assistant on your computer, you will need to install the free Adobe Air if you don't already have it.

Once you have Adobe Air installed, click here and open the file with the Adobe Air installer. You can have an icon added to your desktop and/or start menu to easily access Hangeul Assistant.

Errors

If you find errors, please edit this page and add them to the following list

  • Irregular verbs (not detected)
    • None
  • Verb forms (like if verbs should be conjugated or not)
    • None
  • Conjugation
    • None
  • Pronunciation (any wrong or non-existing rules)
    • Conformation on: ㄹ+ㅅ = ㄹ+ㅆ?
    • ㄱ/ㄺ+ㄱ=ㄱ+ㄲ? -that sounds right
    • I think there's other rules on two consonants by each other where the next consonant becomes 쌍
      • In general, when the 받침 is pronounced as ㄷ,ㄱ,or ㅂ (i.e. when the 받침 is ㄷ,ㅌ,ㅈ,ㅊ,ㅅ,ㅆ,ㄱ,ㄲ,ㅋ,ㅂ,or ㅍ) and the following consonant is ㄷ,ㄱ,ㅂ,ㅅ, or ㅈ, the following consonant becomes 쌍. The second consonant also becomes 쌍 in some other cases, but those are always irregular, and you need to look in a 국어사전 to find them out, e.g. 발전하다 is pronounced 발쩐하다.
  • Other
