How's My Hangul?

Recommended Posts

In particular, anything illegal or illegible? I used this as a text.

Edit: I see now I misspelled 뒫.

Legible to me, and way more legible than most people's printing! Everyone I know connects the horizontal and vertical lines on the w-vowels now. I also can't remember seeing the accent mark as written under the b-consonants. (Forgive me, my keyboard won't do hangul.) There's a little awkwardness with the length of the horizontal strokes in some places, but as you start sentences, that will iron itself out.

Are you trying for an older look, or are you trying to learn it as written today?

 

(I'm not a native speaker, so I can only tell you what I've seen, not if it's right per se.)

I think I'll incorporate that, since there's no way it can be confused with ㄴ. Any other shortcuts? like can I write the ㅜ in 췬 as ㄱ?

If you're talking about ㆍ, that was in the text.

Like where?

I'm not aiming for any look in particular, but the text is from Joseon. Maybe later I'll try a modern text.

 

Edit: OK now I found a modern spelling of it. It seems all ㆍ become ㅏ and then there's a change with the ㅅ and ㅈ in a row.

I wrote the next one, in modern spelling, taking some...liberties and assuming it's OK until someone says it isn't. Pencil this time.

Looks completely legible to me. I don't read Hangul just yet, but from what I know from practice this is pretty good. I personally don't like connecting the lines, I like separating each letter\vowel for a cleaner look :)

it looks good! what are you modeling your handwriting on? i really want to improve mine, but i find it a bit more difficult to practice, as character sizes will vary based on location...

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
