![]() ![]() Once you’re done, move on to the 어 on the right (the ㅇ is missing because it’s been replaced by the 우 on the left). Start with the 우 on the left, which is written in the top-down structure – the circle at the top first, followed by the horizontal stroke and the vertical stroke. Treat them as you would two separate alphabets, like so: These compound vowels may appear to adhere to the top-down structure at first glance, but they are actually left-right structures, as they are essentially two simple vowels placed side by side. It is divided into 3 tiers, with the two short vertical strokes on the same level. This is a bit of an anomaly as it does not conform to the ‘outside-in’ rule.Īs indicated by the circle at the top, this is a top-down structure. When writing the ‘H’, start on the left and work your way towards the right – vertical stroke, short dash, then vertical stroke again. Start with the circle, then move on to the ‘H’ on the right. The vowel 예 follows a similar order, with an additional vertical stroke at the end.Īlso a left-right structure. The two short dashes both precede the vertical stroke on the right (going by a left-right flow), so they must be written before it. An easy way to tell them apart is to look for the ㅇ – if it’s on the left, then the structure is left-right if it’s at the top, then it’s top-down.ĭivide it into 3 columns, start with the circle on the left and work your way right. The ones with the left-right structure require you to start from the left and work your way towards the right and the ones with the top-down structure require you to start at the top and work your way down. Write the one on the left first, then the one on the right. The double consonants are easy, as all of them are of the left-right structure (because they’re essentially two single consonants lined up side by side). ㄱ, ㄴ and ㅇ are single-stroke alphabets, so you don’t have to worry about stroke orders when writing them. The short dash, being located at the top, must be written before the rest of alphabet.Ī three-tiered top-down structure – a horizontal stroke on top, followed by two short vertical strokes (located on the same level/tier), and another horizontal stroke that functions as the base. This one’s also top-down – Write the two horizontal strokes first, then close it up with the ‘L’. Short dash, horizontal stroke, then the circle.Ī pretty straightforward top-down structure – the upside down ‘L’, followed by a horizontal stroke. The bottom of the structure consists of two diagonal strokes in opposite direction – like ㅅ, the one on the left is written before the one on the right.Īlso a top-down structure, ㅎ is pretty straightforward. The horizontal stroke alone forms the top of the structure, and is written first. Naturally, the one on the left must be written before the one on the right. Unlike all of consonants above, ㅅ has a left-right structure, as it is made of two diagonal strokes in opposite direction. Start with the two vertical strokes, and then the horizontal stroke in the middle, and then finally, the one at the bottom. Once again, follow the top-down structure. It’s made up of 3 strokes – a horizontal stroke framed by a vertical one on either side. Following the top-to-bottom rule, we’ll have to work on the top of the box first, which looks like an ‘H’. Like ㅁ, ㅂ looks like a box (and therefore a top-down structure), only the top is open and there’s something (the horizontal stroke) in it. You start with the top of the box, working from left to right – the vertical stroke first, followed by the upside down ‘L’ – before closing it off with a horizontal stroke at the bottom. ㅁ is also a top-down structure, although it isn’t as obvious. It’s made up of 3 strokes – the upside down ‘L’, the horizontal stroke, and the upright ‘L’. You write it from top to bottom – the horizontal stroke first, and then the ‘L’. ConsonantsĪs you can see, ㄷ is made up of two strokes – the horizontal stroke, and the upright ‘L’. It adheres to the same rules – top to bottom, left to right – and an additional one: outside in.įor the purpose of illustration, I’ll be using a calligraphy-style font, because it’s easier to see where one stroke ends and where another begins with this font type. Stroke Orderįor each alphabet, there is a specific order for the strokes to be written in, but contrary to what you might have heard, you do not need to memorise them one by one. **The Upright ‘L’ and Upside Down ‘L’ are meant to be written in one single stroke, without pause. *Note that the top-to-bottom rule takes precedence over the left-to-right rule, which is why the left diagonal stroke is written from right to left instead of left to right, because writing it from left to right would mean going against the top-to-bottom rule. Written from top to bottom, left to right – in a single stroke. Written from top to bottom.* The Upright ‘L’ ![]()
