To type using the Gongjin Cheong Romaja input method, click on the flag in your Mac's menu bar (it should be in-between the battery meter and the date/time) before clicking on 'GongjinCheong Romaja'. So tick both the '2-Set Korean' and the 'Gongjin Cheong Romaja' boxes, as isВ illustratedВ in the screenshot below. You'll notice that once you tick Hangul a sub-menu will open up, allowing you to selectВ howВ you want to input Hangul. If you want to type Korean on your Mac, you'll first have to enable some Korean input methods.В Doing so is quiteВ straightforwardВ - Simply open the system preferences, click on the 'Languages & Text' pane, then go to the 'Input Sources' tab.В From here you can select input methods via the big list, so scroll down until you see 'Hangul' and tick it.

With this input method each key on your Mac's keyboard is assigned a Hangul character, and you simply press that key to type that character.В This could be faster than the Gongjin Cheong method if the typer is experienced, however theВ obviousВ drawback is learning where all the characters are.В It's like learning to type all over again! However if you are more experienced, or want to type Hangul the 'proper' way, there is the 2-Set Korean input method.

This method is probably easier for beginners, as you only need to know how the Korean words are spelt in Romaja. You can use the Gongjin Cheong input method, which works by the user typing Romaja and macOS converting it to Hangul characters on the fly. There are two main ways to type Hangul on your Mac.
