Today is 한글날 or Hangul Day, which is a Korean holiday dedicated to celebrating the Korean writing system and its creator King Sejong! So to commemorate, I’ll go through a bit on Hangul’s history, King Sejong, and some resources on how to learn Hangul yourself.
Here’s another helpful typing game to pair with the Hancom typing game I’ve mentioned before! Sam, the creator, shared it with me and I really think it can be a great asset to add in when trying to master your Korean typing.

Learning as a kid would has become a more popular option for people I think, and it makes sense.
