My tips for learning hangul!

안녕하세요 여러분! Hello everyone! Let’s talk about the most crucial step towards learning the Korean language, which is learning how to read and write hangul! I know it seems scary and impossible at first glance. But did you know that the Korean alphabet was created with the purpose of being easy to learn? 

It took me 2 days to learn Hangul, and if you follow these steps and tips, you can also become a Hangul master in a short amount of time!

Study alphabet charts

You should start with becoming familiar with the different consonants and vowels. Looking at the romanization can help, but keep in mind that the sounds are not the exact same as their English counterparts. The letters above are the complete alphabet that you will have to learn, unlike Japanese students who have a huge amount of different “letters” to study (Yes, I am trying to make you feel better about learning Hangul)

Create your own description of the letters

What I mean by this is, create a picture or an object that reminds you of the letter. For example, the letter  ㅂ reminded me of the ears on Batman’s cowl. Therefore the letter  ㅂ reminds me of Batman, a word beginning with the same sound as the korean letter! 

Use Apps to learn on the go!   

I have two awesome apps to share with you when it comes to learning the pronounciation of Hangul letters. The first app is PopPoppingKorean. This app is the cutest thing ever! Use it to study the sounds and the difference between them, and as you advance you can practise spelling simple korean words. 

The second app I wanted to mention is Eggbun. Not only is this app great for perfecting Hangul skills, but it also gives you lots of information about Korean culture! Read about popular Korean street food, table manners, greetings and so much more! The app is structured like a chatroom, with an automated tutor monitoring your answers!  ———————————————————————————————- That’s all for this post! Please force yourself to read Hangul as soon as possible and ditch any kind of romanization. In order to pronounce the words accurate you NEED to read hangul. I hope you enjoyed this post and found my tips helpful. If you have any questions, please drop me an ask or a message! Good luck and study hard! 화이팅!

Here is my contribution to @meabhd‘s coloring contest! She did the lines, I did the coloring. 

I had sooooo fun with this, mostly cause they are Harry Potter characters (Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown) but also cause I tried a new coloring technique! Turned out to be great practice and something I’ll definitely try again.

Thanks for the opportunity to color your lines Méabh, your art is amazing and it was an honor omg lmao *-* <3

Hey noodles! I’m back with another masterpost! I’ve gotten a few asks about how I take photos, so I decided to condense all of this into one post.

all my posts | my masterposts | ask me anything

Lighting:

Shoot when it’s light out for best quality photos, because natural lighting is honestly your best friend. Taking them when it’s lighter out will also make it easier to edit them.

** A lesser known tip that I’ve learned myself is to take photos in pure light. My room is pink, so unless I take pictured in the middle of my room at noon they turn out with an annoying purple tint. it’s hard to edit that out, so I sometimes go to other spots in my house to take photos.

EXTRA: If you’re taking photos with a screen turn down the brightness. High brightness gives the screen so much glare that you often can’t see anything other than a bright spot.

Taking the photos:

I’m using a colorful planner as an example, so I’m using a white background.

If your subject is plainer, you can use a brighter background. (I used a sweater)

You can also take a picture of your whole desk.

EXTRA: lots of pillowcases/sheets=lots of backgrounds!

Editing:

I use Aviary and vsco, and I edit the brightness/exposure, contrast, saturation, warmth, and tint. On vsco I add either the filters A6 or OC and add on the following to fit.

Brightness/exposure: turn these up depending on how bright your original photos are

Contrast: turn this up for clarity

Saturation: turn the saturation up because photos will generally look washed out after you turn up the brightness (be careful that it doesn’t look unnatural)

Warmth: always turn this down, especially if you take pictures in artificial light.

Tint: this is what I use to correct the purple-y tint that a lot of my pictures cave because of the color of my walls (I turn it greener, but I imagine it’ll be opposite if you have a green/blue room).

Here are some more before and afters:

++look at this post for the individual photos

I took these around 5 PM, and you can definitely see the purple I was talking about above.

An important point:

You don’t have to do this at all to be a good studyblr. Plenty of amazing studyblrs don’t jump through this many hoops every time they want to post. I would actually encourage you to not do all of this every time you want to post. I used to spend hours agonizing over my photos, and, believe it or not, my grades went down! Now I know how to balance the aesthetic and actual studying, but I was so caught up in how my notes looked that I wasn’t studying them. If you like to take pretty notes and photographs, then have fun with it, but definitely don’t feel pressured to do all of this if you don’t want to.
