I have started writing in Korean since the beginning of the lessons. I prefer to type because my handwriting in Korean is awful and I accidentally write English letters that sound like Korean letters. For example, I'll be thinking 아 which sounds like "ah", and I'll unconsciously wirte aㅏ which is like a mix of Korean and English letters. Typing prevents this and looks readable. I saw patterns in the structure of the sentences. In English, the basic fundamental sentences are structured like subject verb and then everything else follows. However, in Korean, the sentences are structured subject everything else then verb. The fact that verb comes at the very end is kind of weird, but it makes sense. In complex sentences, there are things like adverb, adjectives, etc. all in between the subject and the verb. This makes sentences super interesting as it's like a sandwich with subject and the verb acting like the buns. Knowing the parts of the speech in Korean helps me translate to English more efficiently, making it easier to understand complex sentences.
