I have been mostly just writing words and short phrases in Korean. I think typing on the phone is easy and straightforward, but I haven’t typed on computer yet because I still don’t know the correspondence between letter and korean consonants/vowels. Typically, I just write freehand. I have definitely gained some knowledge about the patterns in the structures of words, clauses and sentences. For example, a syllable in korean is composed of either consonant, vowel, consonant or consonant, vowel. A vowel will not appear in the first place. Sentences and clauses all use particles that would sometimes act as derivational morphemes and sometimes as inflectional morphemes. We have been mostly just learning simple sentences so I don't really know for now what’s the relationship between simple and complex sentences in korean. We have been learning the basic phrases/sentences to use in daily life. For example, 안녕하세요(hello), 반갑습니다(nice to meet you), 감사합니다(thank you),죄송합니다(I’m sorry),안녕히 계세요(Goodbye when I’m leaving), 안녕히 가세요(Goodbye when other people are leaving), 잘 먹겠습니다(what to say before eating), 잘 먹었습니다(what to say after I eat).
