Trying to improve my handwriting, mostly so i can read other people’s handwriting more easily. I never learnt stroke order (i really recommend doing that) and never wrote much by hand. But as you can see in the first picture my english handwriting is also like a child’s, so thats probably the reason my korean is too. 1) my handwriting 2) my boyfriend’s handwriting 3) my english. The rest is me practicing writing quickly and trying to copy my boyfriend’s writing but it looks awful. Then i got bored and just tried to write big. ㅁ, ㄹ and ㄷ/ ㅌ are the characters i struggle with most. I still cannot figure out to make the correct stroke order for ㄹ naturally. Someone teach me how to read handwriting (like my boyfriend’s here, i would never know that says 운명) without having to improve my own?

바른 발음, really good for studying the pronunciation rules (which you can learn here) and 한글 달인 for learning commonly misused words. Both apps are easy to use, you simple choose the correct answer and it will give you an explanation of the rules and usages. Also good for learning new phrases and the explanations are great reading practice.
