Writing Hangul -ㄹ

“R / L” (ㄹ)
3 STROKES

First – Start on the top left and make a long horizontal line. Then (WITHOUT PICKING UP YOUR PEN!) pull a short vertical line down. Basically, you are forming the “Hangul G.” You see this a lot in Hangul, where on character is used to form another.

Second – Starting on the left, form a long horizontal line that connects to the first stroke. You are kind of making a backwards, upside down ㄷ. 🙂

Third. Starting on the top left of stroke two, go down forming a short vertical line. Then (WITHOUT PICKING UP YOUR PEN!) make a second long horizontal line. Basically makes a Hangul “N”.

FINAL

EXAMPLES (FROM TOP 6000TOPIK WORDS)

우리 (Uli) = We / Our
모르다 (Moleuda) = To not know
물 (Mul) = Water

Writing Hiragana – い

26 Nov

“I” OR “い” SAYS “EE”
2 STROKES

The first stroke looks a little like a fish hook (but not quite written that way). Make a slightly curved vertical line down, then (without picking up your pen) give it a small up-stroke. These characters were originally written with a brush, and this was just a small pull upwards that gave it flair. It shouldn’t be too deliberate – more a fast pull than anything.
