    A very very useful video! I've been wanting to improve my Korean handwriting since I felt that my hangeul looked as if it was written by a robot rather than by a human😅 I will keep practicing with your video so that I can write just like a native speaker:)
    Oh,and I think that a video in which we would read natural korean handwriting would be really fun!

    Please do one on deciphering handwriting! This video was really helpful in making me realize the importance of stroke order. Although it did trigger a bit of my ocd haha

  • @KRYoung_dev
    @KRYoung_dev 4 года назад +2

    Thank you for this video! I am fascinated by hangul handwriting. Google image searches for 손글씨 have turned up interesting things, but mostly it's beautiful calligraphy, or at least neat handwriting. Everyday, quick, even sloppy handwriting is what I'm most interested in actually. Because of the thousands of possible syllable blocks and the number of variations for making the letters themselves, it seems to me like handwritten hangul has the greatest diversity of any other writing system I've seen. Not only am I interested because I want to be able to read handwritten hangul, but also because I want to be able to write faster myself while still having handwriting that Korean people can read. Writing all the letters perfectly makes it look like it was written by a robot or a child, and also makes it very slow to study when you have to write down every new word or interesting sentence you come across!

    When I write quickly, ㅑ looks like I and c combined 😀 And writing 좋다 is a nightmare 😜

    • @constanza1648
      @constanza1648 4 года назад +1

      Yup. 좋다 is a nightmare: well, I can, with my robotic and pretty squared handwriting, but it tends to extend three lines on the paper (one on the top, one on the bottom). Of course, with my poor vision, when it appears in the computer the same size of the other syllables, I can really tell which letters are (I just hope is an ㅗ and not an ㅜ, I really can't tell).

    • @ethanproctor6695
      @ethanproctor6695 2 года назад

      To help fix that, I write ㅎ like a sideways 이 (turn counter-clockwise)

    So helpful! I’m studying Korean (day 10 so far, learned ~150 words) and I’m getting lazy writing the characters. It’s not that it’s difficult, just tedious. Especially love the ㅂ that looks sort of like Id, definitely using that!

    I like to take some of the historical dramas and decipher the various handwriting fonts, e.g. as in 도깨비 and many others. That also helps with finding out the original titles which are often very different from the English translations.

    This has made me reflect on my cursive English handwriting….how do other people (particularly non-native speakers) decipher it? A lot of these written characters bear no resemblance to the ‘computer font’. You are correct that context and character placement provide a lot of clues, but having the additional understanding of stroke order, (especially where there’s more than one option) is very helpful. Thank you.

    • @jollyjellybelly
      @jollyjellybelly 2 года назад

      It has also made me reflect on English alphabet cursives as well. I take it for granted so much that I can decipher even the most horrendous of handwritings. I think it will take some time for me to be able to decipher it and also to replicate it myself. The reason I looked up this video is I couldn't for the life of me figure out how Koreans write an entire essay using block letterings. Hahahah.

    @auricia201 3 года назад +2

    Oh no 😨 I'm never gonna understand handwritten hangul 😅 most letters don't look anything like the print version.
    But it makes sense to follow the stroke order! This was super interesting, thank you! 😊

    • @jollyjellybelly
      @jollyjellybelly 2 года назад

      I'mma be watching all videos on handwriting so I can get more of a feel for the stroke order. I think variation is key since everyone writes differently anyways.

    This makes me wanna cry!! one by one is manageable but when you see an entire text in cursive..... but i guess wiht time and exposure ...even in my native language writing can become intelligible: We have a saying: you write like a doctor because they write so fast it literally becomes like a squiggle, you have no idea what is written there. :)))

    Absolutely the best Korean handwriting video! New subscriber, thank you so much for your hard work.
    1. I'm left handed and do not adhere to the traditional stroke order. What would be "pushing away" from the body or "going across the body" for a right-handed person is different for a left-handed person. Do left-handed Koreans write differently?
    2. You did not cover the double consonants. I am trying to learn a way to quickly write ㅃ.

    • @jollyjellybelly
      @jollyjellybelly 2 года назад

      I think some other videos should help. That's a good point.

  • @AnotherChristiansen

    Wow, thank you so, so much for making this video! I can already tell this will be really helpful!
    I love most things about learning Korean but some of these almost made me cry, lol ^^'
    While I can see how 'robotic' handwriting might be awkward, is it that big of a plus for learners to write native-ly? What do you think?
    I'm curious since my Latin alphabet handwriting is horrible, and while my Hangeul is far from neat, it's at least easily legible.
    Right now I'd rather take my time when writing, but who knows. If I become really fluent I might also come to the point where three strokes are just TOO MUCH effor haha.

    • @YourKoreanSaem
      @YourKoreanSaem  3 года назад +3

      Nope it’s not that big of a plus, as long as your handwriting is legible there is no need to concern yourself 😊 the ‘less robotic’ strokes will happen over time as you get more comfortable with writing!

    The first time I see Korean penmanship it didn't make sense.. now, thanks to you 언니, it does. Then I remember the pali-pali culture...that's why even in writing, Koreans are always in a hurry... 😂😂😂 Maybe this is one of the aspect of Korean life influenced by this culture...and there's more waiting to learn...😁

  • @zaharakhan1603
    @zaharakhan1603 Год назад

    It's the same with any language, I guess. The challenge with non-native readers is that we're trying to read the words by pronouncing indivdual characters. After years of practice, our brains don't really read individual characters but patters. Start and end alphabets can many a times help us read a word w/o even noticing. Plus, we must accept - some people have terrible handwriting!🤭For now, korean handwriting looks like a doctor's note to me.. illegible!😂 Have not even learnt double vowels so I'm just happy if I can read some typed words😄
