Journal Entry #3

A person who has made a difference : Grand King Sejong.

Grand King Sejong was a king in korea.
He created Korean alphabet, Hangul in 1443.
Many people disagreed to make Korean letter, but he wanted everyone can use a letter easily. We had used Chinese letter at that time, but Chinese letter was difficult to many people because Chinese and Koreans use different language. Hangul is a scientific and convenient letter, and if we see a letter, we can read correctly even we've never seen the word before. Hangul has 10 vowels and 14 consonant.
From that time, most people could use a letter easily.
