Just for clarification...
Each Hangul "symbol" is composed of 2, 3 or 4 letters. To pronounce the symbol you pronounce the letters from top left to bottom right. It is an alphabetic language that is written in such a way that individual phonetics are drawn like a symbol. match the symbol to what you know and you can pronounce it without breaking it down. If you do not know the symbol then you can still pronounce it by breaking it down into its individual letters.
It is an amazing system as it allows the speed of chinese reading with the capability of an alphabetic language for unknown words. The double vowels are the worst to try and decipher for me.
