So far I have begun writing short sentences on my notebook in Korean and also trying to trace words to get a feel for it. But I have also been typing with a Hangul keyboard (Still trying to get used to it). So far typing helps me focus on structure and vocabulary rather than that of handwriting speed. As I write more, I’ve started noticing patterns in sentence structures, such as the Subject–Object–Verb (SOV) order and the frequent use of particles like 이/가 and 을/를 to mark grammatical roles. I’ve also observed how clauses connect with markers like -고 (“and”) or -지만 (“but”), showing the relationship between simple and complex sentences.
Understanding parts of speech—especially verbs and particles—has helped me write more clearer and more accurate sentences. Agreement in tense and politeness level is very essential; choosing between endings like -요 or -습니다 changes the tone and context.
Sample writing exercises:
- 저는 학생이에요. (I am a student.)
- 오늘 날씨가 좋아요. (The weather is nice today.)
- 친구를 만나고 커피를 마셨어요. (I met a friend and drank coffee.)
- 한국어를 배우는 것이 재미있어요. (Learning Korean is fun.)
These simple sentences show me how grammar, particles, and structure come together to build meaning. Makes me feel like I am getting closer to my goal.
