    As someone who can speak Korean, Hangul is much better but it also does not perfectly reflect the way it’s pronounced unfortunately. On the surface it appears so at first, but because there are numerous sound change rules most things you read will be pronounced slightly differently than they’re written in real usage. Still though it’s better than what English does.

      Thanks for that information. Perhaps no writing system is truly perfect, but it’s good to know that at least something better is possible.
