I learned to write in Korean until I was a second grader in elementary school in Korea. However, once I moved to United States, I stopped my formal learning in Korean. With prior experience in writing in Korean, I feel comfortable writing and typing in Korean with minimal mistakes in spelling and structure. Also, speaking and texting with my tutor in Korean improved my comfortability in communicating in Korean with others. There are many key patterns that you need to know such as different spacing rules and various spelling changes according to context and these patterns are picked up by getting familiar with the context it is used in. The relationship between simple and complex sentences are similar to English where conjunction words are used to combine different clauses. My current knowledge of writing in Korean allows me to communicate the right idea across with minimal mistakes in grammar which do not impair the meaning of my writing.
Here are some sample of writing exercises I did with my tutor:
