Synopsis
Write Your Name, Share Your Voice with Han’gŭl
Have you ever struggled to get your name pronounced correctly in another language? What if there was a tool that allowed your name—and your identity—to be universally understood? What’s Your Name? introduces Han’gŭl, the Korean writing system, as an ingenious and accessible solution for transcribing names from any language with precision and beauty—no prior knowledge of Korean required.
This insightful guide uncovers three fascinating facets of Han’gŭl: modern Han’gŭl, the streamlined alphabet used today; its 15th-century origins, created by King Sejong the Great to represent sounds from any spoken language; and Multiverse Han’gŭl, a creative vision of how the script might evolve across cultures and contexts. Crafted by Albert Jung, an author who prefers to remain behind the scenes, this book reflects their deep appreciation for language and connection. With clear explanations, practical exercises, and engaging insights, What’s Your Name? is more than a guide—it’s an invitation to celebrate identity, bridge cultural gaps, and express yourself through the elegance of Han’gŭl.
Let your name—and your voice—be heard anywhere, just as you say it.
