If you’re able to read what I’m writing here (in English) and a little bit of Korean, you’re automatically proficient in a new language! Called Suggu, it’s a project of Google Creative Lab’s Creative Director Ji Lee and Sue Park.
from Suggu.com:
Suggu (“Mix” in Korean) is a new alphabet mixing Hangul(Korean Alphabet) and Roman Alphabet. Because they are both Phonetic Alphabets—a writing system based on a set of symbols representing different sounds—mixing the two is possible and easy. Combine Roman Alphabet’s consonants (B, C, D, F, G…) with Hangul’s vowels (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ…). That’s Suggu.

See if you can read this! And download the font if you want to write a little bit of Suggu of your own.
