## What is Korean Hanja Handwriting !?

2,500  MOST-USED  KOREAN  HANJA !
LET'S  LEARN  HOW  TO  HAND-WRITE  THEM !
THIS  APP  BREAKS  THEM  DOWN  STROKE  BY  STROKE !

•   SPIN  THE  WHEEL  TO  EXPLORE
     It's so easy and natural.

•   ADD  TO  FAVORITES
     Save the word you like for the future use.

•   REAL  HUMAN  VOICE

     All of the words have their meanings in English.

•   KOREAN  ARTS & CULTURE
     Banknotes, coins and poems.

•   OFF-LINE INDEPENDENT
     Once downloaded, you don't need internet to use the app. All audios and pictures are integrated within.

You can select the word in alphabetical order (English meanings) by clicking “words” in the menu bar. Basic everyday Korean words!

Click on the "phonetic" button in the menu bar, you can look up words phonetically.

In spoken language, the /r/ sound is sometimes dropped when it is located at the front of a word. For example,
       練習(련습) becomes  연습.

The checked syllables ending in the stop consonants are /p/, /t/, /k/. For example,
       國家(국가) sounds /guk ga/.

The final consonant /k/ is checked, stopped abruptly. It is not pronounced. So do not pronounce like /gu+k/.

Unlike Japanese, the Korean language doesn’t distinguish long and short vowels.

The Hanja is mostly like the traditional Chinese characters. But there are few differences.
       Korean: 强   敎   郞   凉   爲
       Taiwan: 強   教   郎   涼   為

The vowel  ㅐ sounds stronger than the loose ㅔ. But in spoken language, the difference is very subtle and interchangeable. Likewise, the  ㅒ and ㅖ vowels.
        e:     ㅐ   ㅔ
        ye:   ㅒ   ㅖ

The consonant /ㄹ/ is either /r/ or /l/. For example, /ra/ or /la/ has the same phonetic value. They are equal to 라.

The sequence is in the Korean alphabetical order. There are more than 1800 Hanja and 2500 words in the app.

         가：家, 佳, 街，...
         ...
         하：下, 夏, 賀，...

There are over 77 million people who speak Korean worldwide. Its vocabulary is highly influenced by Chinese. The grammar is more similar to Mongolian, Manchu or Japanese languages.

### 1/5 — Not real Korean

*2022-04-26*

Several major problems:

-Doesn’t teach individual characters, just words 

-Has predetermined “favorite” starred words that cannot be erased

-Uses a romanization system that is not one of the internationally recognized standard methods of romanizing Korean words

-Several example “words” don’t really exist in Korean, unsure if they are Chinese. E.g., 驛前(역전) is defined as “station,” but in Korean means “the front of a station.” There are MANY example words that are either not Korean or are extremely obscure. The same characters could be illustrated in example words that are very common, teaching useful daily Korean vocabulary together with the Hanja characters

**Developer response:** Learning words help memorizing the Korean characters. 驛前(역전) DOES mean a station. It came from the Chinese word 驛站. The transliteration is for beginners to grasp the sounds of Korean easily. The so callled standard Korean romanization system is too hard and complicated. The app helps you get a hang of the language real quick.

### 3/5 — Not enough yet

*2019-12-14*

The app is interesting, but there is only phonetics. I was hoping for at least:
- how the word is written in 한글 
- a way see all words that include the same hanja.
The whole point of learning hanja (for foreigners at least) is to make vocabulary learning easier (by learning many words with the same root), so aside from learning just how to write a hanja, the other functionalities seem pointless if not coupled with the 2 that are missing.
- now when it comes to the main functionality, the hanja is drawn too quickly when you are a beginner so you miss half of the drawing if you want to try and think ahead. I wish there was a speed setting option.
Thanks for the app

**Developer response:** As far as how the Hangul (한글) is written, please consider my app "Learn Korean Handwriting".  This app is mainly focused on Hanja (or Kanji). The Korean "root" is so different from the western language root like English or Spanish. One Korean hangul root can be interpreted to hundreds of meanings, for example "가" can refer to so many things. So it is necessary to learn the Hanja, the real root!  The learning of Korean words is so different. But if you browse the whole set of hanja I listed there in the app, you can be an expert! I promise!

When it comes to the writing speed, I think it's not that fast. You can press the "play" button multiple times, if you are confused.  Ok, I will consider the slower speed rate in my next version.

Thanks for you advice. Can I have one more star added? ^-^
