I don't read Hangeul myself, so can't confirm whether it's entirely right, or complete. It does seem so at first glance though. Antrix, could you check?

It's largely correct. Of course, you have problems when you are trying to represent sounds of a different language using English words but, it looks fairly correct overall.
I haven't read it in detail, but they seem to have missed at least one thing. The circle is an empty sound when it's in the beginning of the syllable. When you write the circle at the bottom of the syllable, it's pronounced as the velar nasal (IPA: ŋ). To use a real Korean name as an example, Sungha Jung (the famous kid finger guitarist) becomes 정성하 (Jung Sung Ha)
Also, I think there are a couple of more things. For instance, I think s+i is always pronounced as shi, not si.
But yeah, he is right about it being probably the easiest script in the world. One hour and you are set to go.

Drat. Just saw it. They have mentioned the velar nasal thing too. So this looks almost entirely complete!
I should try to make something like this for Urdu. Any one enthu to help with the illustration part?

The first two pages of this were given as a handout in the Urdu workshop.
My idea was to create the guide in a infographic, fun kind of way. That guide gets a bit tedious

Is this Korean alphabet complete? If it is then there are no dental consonants. Also no idea of joining consonants. Basically, I can't write my name in Korean. But that's ok because my name did not originate in Korea.
Love all is how it begins. Tennis or otherwise.

So I checked the few Korean names I knew. Like Park Ji Sung, the footballer. That's how they write his name in English. Wiki says: 박지성
which if I were to read as per the post would be: baag ji sung (pronounced like the english word sung - past participle of sing)
So is this how pre-consonant "R" is written? What about other consonants?
