The Korean language does not use the Roman alphabet; it uses the Hangeul 'alphabet'. If you are a beginner, you need to learn this symbolic system to communicate with Korean speakers. In this lesson, you would learn how the Hangeul symbols sounds like; what the consonants and vowels of Hangeul are; and how you can construct some basic simple words from these symbols. If you understand the Hangeul symbolic system, you can read every word in Korean even if you have not seen it before (with a few exceptions).
