Korean Writing Exercises - Part 1

Good day, my dear readers! It has been so long since I have written something about Korea here, and that's because of my busy schedule upon entering school again. However, it's our vacation these coming two months, and your writer is here to give you a bit of what Korea can offer!

Before you start this writing exercise, be sure to read this post on how to Learn Korean in less than 15 minutes. This article can help you read and write Korean, for less than a day, and if given much concentration and dedication, for just less than fifteen minutes. Just remember that learning Korean is not that hard, you just have to give your time and your patience, for learning a new language might just be piece of cake!

Writing in Korean is in tandem with reading Korean. If you are not able to read what is being shown, then you will not be able to write it. And because of that, I have prepared a Korean Reading Exercise, which can be of large help if you are mastering the Hangul, or Korea's alphabet. Once you finish answering that exercise, and acing it, you can now proceed to the next level of learning the language, which is writing.

So, now, are you ready to put your Korean writing into test?

Let's have this quick exercise, which is as simple as writing syllables. Get your pencils and papers, and let's start with the basics. Translate these syllables to their Korean form.

1. Da

2. De

3. Dae

4. A

5. Weo

6. O

7. Ae

8. Yae

9. Ye

10. Wa

Choose your answers from this set:

 대  아  와  다  애  데  얘  워  예  오

Remember that when you have double notches, you start that letter's sound with the letter Y.

Whoa, that's a good start! You can check your answers here, in order for you to know it you're ready to move on.
