The very first step of learning Korean is to learn 한글, the Korean alphabet.
When i began to primary school, writing the letters in correct order was too important. My teacher was very strick about this issue. Even today i don’t know the difference between whether you write the letters in correct order or not. However my Korean teacher don’t agree with me. According to her, it is substantial to write 한글 in the correct way. When we are learning a new language usually we don’t give much attention to the alphabet. We write the letters the way in which we feel comfortable. And it becomes diffucult to fix it when we get used to it. Also my teacher told me that she could notice easily whether the student write correctly or not. So if you don’t know the 한글(Korean alphabet) yet, it will be very useful for you to start in a correct way.
How to write consonants;
How to write vowels;
I made lots of exercises and i still don’t get used to write some letters correctly. Especially ᄅ , ᄆ are diffucult for me. How do you write letters?
Have fun!

I write 한글 in the way which I feel comfortable too and I have used to it. I should practice the correct way of writing 한글. Thanks, Sena ^^

I find hangeul writing very similar to Chinese, so the steps were relatively easy for me to grasp (lucky for me). but it does help that hangeul alphabet is pretty limited, so after a while you get the hang of it
just keep practising! ^^

I started writing Hangeul the way I want it. But after a while I realized that writing it the correct way means smoother and faster flow of writing. I’m glad I decided to do it correctly early on, so I was still able to salvage myself. And later on it helped me with my Chinese too.
