How to enable Korean keyboard in Windows

(If you are unable to find it, go to Control Panel -> Region and Language, on theKeyboards and Languages tab, click Change keyboards.)

Typing Hangul using computer

Lets say you want to type 사랑해요. Assuming you have keyboard with Latin alphabet you are going to press
type sarang step 1
and on your screen 살 will show up. You might think: “But I wantㄹ in the second syllable, not first!”. No worries. As soon as you press
type sarang step 2
this is going to happen 사라. The “ㄹ” is automatically moved to the next syllable. Computer knows that the combination 살ㅏ is impossible so it knows to move the “ㄹ” into the next syllable. Neat, right?
Now just continue
type sarang step 3
And you have 사랑해요!
