I learned about writing and grammar in Korean. There so many exceptions in Korean that does not follow the rule in writing. An example is 며칠동안. If this followed the regular rule, it should have been spelled out as 몇일동안; however, this is just one exception that does not follow this rule. These exceptions have to be memorized purely and be recognized. In Korean there are also many words that sound the same, but have different spellings and different meanings. An example is the difference between 맞히다 and 맞췄다. The first one means to hit when aiming or in target practice. The second one is to correctly answer a question. It was very fascinating to use these in sentences.
