Korean/Writing lessons plan

See also: How To Build An Excellent Wikibook Teaching Any Language

This is a plan for propadeutic (preparatory) lessons teaching the student the Korean script and its pronunciation (including letter combinations). The goal is to introduce letters one by one so as not to overwhelm the student. In order to raise his confidence and provide feelings of success, words used for illustration and exercises shall mostly be understandable without any knowledge of Korean: Korean words that come from English, Korean words that other languages adopted, common transliterations of English personal names and names of countries or places whose name is not very different in Korean.

The student is assumed to have no previous knowledge of Korean. Each lesson will teach a few letters and then give some words from this list in order to practise reading. Upon successfully recognising all the letters of a word, he should be able to recognise the word itself. For example, "가나" is recognizable because it's so similar to the English words "Ghana". "독일" is not recognizable because the English word is "Germany" and doesn't resemble the Korean transliteration.

A list of recognizable Korean words has already been created below. Feel free to add more recognizable words to the list in order to help find a suitable order of letters and to provide material for more exercises.
