TIPS ON TYPING HANGEUL

I forgot to tell you, in case you all need to know how to type hangeul using your own keyboard, check this out!
Based on my personal experience, Microsoft Word 2007 and Windows Vista Ultimate enable you to set the language input as you wish. I've tried to find out how to do the same on my uncle's laptop (installed with the earlier version of Microsoft Office and Windows XP) but failed.
  • First of all, click the "start" button
  • Find "control panel" and click
  • Find "regional and language options" and click
  • Click the "keyboards and languages" tab
  • Click the "change keyboards" button
  • Search and click the "add" button on "text services and input language"
  • Find "Korean" and click
Maybe you'll find it confusing but it's worth trying. And remember these steps won't change the display language, they only change the input texts. So your menu or dialogs are still in English, except you're already able to install a Korean language pack.
If you want to type on a worksheet (Microsoft Word, for instance) or email, you can activate the language bar so as to be able to type using Korean keyboard. By default, usually the language is set to English, but now you can opt for the Korean because you already choose it as one of the input alternatives. Check the "Korean" section, instead of the "English". Afterwards, you'll find a language bar and now check the letter "A" (Latin) into "가" (hangeul).
As my memory serves, if you manage to do the steps I give you, you can type ㅂ,ㅈ,ㄷ,ㄱ,ㅅ, ㅛ, and so on by pressing the QWERTY buttons stretched in front of you now.
