Hangul Lesson: Stroke Order

Hangul Lesson: Stroke Order

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! I have a long-overdue Hangul lesson – all about stroke order! While Korean stroke order is good to know, it’s not quite as imperative that you get the strokes right the same way that it might be for other languages like Chinese. That said, it can help your Korean handwriting look more natural, and knowing the correct order of strokes is actually really useful for reading people’s handwriting! I recommend watching this really interesting video by Go!Billy – in a nutshell, he says that knowing the stroke order is important because you’ll be able to essentially “trace” someone’s handwriting, so you’ll be able to read it even if it’s messy! Let’s get into it!

Some General Rules

Stroke order can seem a little overwhelming and even kind of random or arbitrary, so let’s talk about some general rules that influence stroke order!

I used sayjack.com as my source for this section, and that website has little gif-type things that show how each consonant is written, so check that out as well!

Left to Right: ex. When writing ㄱ, start from its left edge and make your way right.

Top to Bottom: ex. When writing ㅎ, start with the little stroke on the very top, then the longer stroke right below, and then the circle on the bottom.

Outside In: ex. When writing ㅋ, write a ㄱ to “frame” the stroke in the middle.

Here are some drawings of my own showing the strokes!

I hope these help y’all out! Again, stroke order isn’t the most important thing when learning Korean, so don’t worry if you find it too overwhelming! It’s just something that’s nice to know – I don’t really think any native speakers would come at you if you don’t get it perfect lol :)
