How to easy memorize it? let's break it down below:

📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝

Please more focus here and get the details how to memorize it fast.

First you need to divide it to 5 basic consonants.
5 BASIC CONSONANTS is,

1) ㄱ = g (english romanization)
2) ㄴ = n (english romanization)
3) ㅁ = m (english romanization)
4) ㅅ = s (english romanization)
5) ㅇ = ng / silent (english romanization)

So, from the '5 Basic Consonants' of hangeul, there is more another consonants that derived from the 5 Basic Consonants stated.

1) ㄱ (followed by) ㅋ = kk (english romanization)

2) ㄴ (followed by) ㄷ = d (english romanization) (followed by) ㅌ = t (english romanization) (followed by) ㄹ = r/l (half between R and L -english romanization)

3) ㅁ (followed by) ㅂ = b (english romanization) (followed by) ㅍ = p (english romanization)

4) ㅅ (followed by) ㅈ = j (english romanization) (followed by) ㅊ = ch (english romanization)

5) ㅇ (followed by) ㅎ = h (english romanization)

summary it

ㄱ -------->> ㅋ
ㄴ -------->> ㄷ ------>> ㅌ ------>> ㄹ
ㅁ -------->> ㅂ ------>> ㅍ
ㅅ ------->> ㅈ ------ >> ㅊ
ㅇ -------->> ㅎ

To make you clear and easy, there is 14 hangeul consonants consists of :-

ㄱ (g)
ㄴ ( n )
ㅁ (m)
ㅅ (s)
ㅇ (ng)
ㅋ (kk)
ㄷ (d)
ㅌ (t)
ㄹ (r/l)
ㅂ (b)
ㅍ (p)
ㅈ (j)
ㅊ (ch)
ㅎ (h)

TIPS:

ㄱ can be pronounced like a G or a K. Typically at the beginning of a sentence or word you
will hear ㄱ like a K, and if it is in the middle of a word it’s closer to a G.
Example : 고구마 (koguma) = sweet potatoes

ㄹ can be pronounced like an R or an L. Typically at the beginning of a sentence you will
hear ㄹ like a R and in the middle more like L.
Example: 레벨 (rebel) = level

Do you understand me, so far?

5 DOUBLE CONSONANTS

1) ㅃ (bb/pp)

2) ㅉ (tch)

3) ㄸ (dd/tt)

4) ㄲ (kk)

5) ㅆ (ss)

end of the consonants

How about the Vowels?

Here is 10 BASIC VOWELS,

VERTICAL VOWELS

1) ㅏ (a)

2) ㅓ (eo)

3) ㅑ (ya)

4) ㅕ (yeo)

5) ㅣ (i)

HORIZONTAL VOWELS

6) ㅗ (o)

7) ㅜ (u)

8) ㅡ (eu)

9) ㅛ (yo)

10) ㅠ (yu)

TIPS:

(a) Sound different between ㅓ and ㅗ

The sound for ㅓ doesn’t really exist in English so it might be hard to master. It is certainly
one of the sounds that Korean people will ALWAYS correct you on. One technique to

getting closer to the right sound is this trick:

1. Shape your mouth as if you are going to say “AH”
2. Now say the sound “OH”. It should feel as if the sound is coming from the back of your
throat.

(b) Different between ㅜ and ㅡ

To the untrained ear these will both sound the same. But the mouth makes a different
shape for ㅜ and ㅡ.
ㅜ is said with the lips pushed out like you’re trying to kiss someone and saying “oo” as in
“moon”.
ㅡ is said by pulling the lips back almost as far as you can and saying the same “oo” sound.

(c) Hard and soft sound in hangeul

How ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, and ㄱ seem to shift
sounds in Korean. Koreans also have a hard time explaining the exact timing of the shift of
these sounds. ㅂ is a “B” sound, but there are cases where it also sounds like a “P”. ㄷ is
“D”, but in some cases it will be “T”. ㅈ is “J” but sometimes it’s “CH”. And finally, ㄱ is “G”,
but in some cases it will sound like “K”.
You will find that in the beginning of a word ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, and ㄱ will tend to be the “stronger”
sounds like P, T, CH, and K. But they will be softer in the middle and end of words.

ㅍ (P), ㅌ (T),ㅊ (CH),ㅋ (K) on the other hand are ALWAYS the hard sounds.

(d) Double consonants versus other sounds

ㅂ (b / p), ㅈ (j / ch), ㄷ (d / t), ㄱ (g / k) have a “hard” and “soft” sound. The
