Fun fact! Because Hangul was created and didn't naturally evolve out of Hanja, it's one of the easiest and most logical alphabets to learn. I could teach you the whole alphabet in 20 minutes and have you sounding out whole sentences in an hour or two.

I taught myself how to read and write in a university lecture but, obviously, didn't know the vocabulary to actually understand it.
