I started writing in my target language by typing on a keyboard, I would use Duolingo and lingodeer to practice my writing. I often write messages or look things up, and writing characters initially seemed very intimidating. Once I started freehand it was an entirely new experience and I would try and find tricks on how to make my characters look visually pleasing. My handwriting in English isn't the best so I try to be very precise when writing in hangul. Buying a book on hangul writing helped me dramatically improve and see better results. The first patterns I would see would be the topic particles and the importance of including the (은 는 이 가) after every word. Another pattern Is how every sentence ends with a verb at the end, with its proper formal or informal way. The most noticeable difference to making complex sentences is using topic particles in their correct form and using words to make them slow and connect better. For example, using 때문에 because I started writing in my target language by typing on a keyboard, I would use Duolingo and lingodeer to practice my writing.

The most noticeable difference in making complex sentences is using topic particles in their correct form and using words to make them slow and connect better. For example, using 때문에 because 왜냐하면 help creates a better flow from sentence to sentence instead of simple one phrase sentences. This is honestly the hardest part for me since I oftentimes forget which connecting words to use and which verbs to include. Knowing parts of speech makes it easier to dissect sentences and better understand their significance.

In this sentence, you can clearly see each topic particle and how the verb is near the ending of the sentence.

Writing is also really hard for me! I am still practicing typing it on a keyboard, but it still takes me a while. Thank you for the recommendation of the apps. I might download Duolingo in order to practice my writing as well. This post is really useful, and it is interesting that you explain how part of speech can help understand the sentence and words' significance.
