Hangeul as a writing system is excellent.

However, I have a few issues with some aspects of it - mostly (and I can't use hangeul on here) to do with 4 block syllables where not all sounds are pronounced.

Chicken (dak) has an extra and unneeded character (r/l - in this case l), and also many (man-hi) isn't fully pronounced (the h sound isn't hit).

That's my only concern, and there are other examples.

Otherwise, hangeul can be learned in a day and the way it's used in spoken language can be quite beautiful.
