[Hiya!]

So i am trying to learn korean, while i dont have any problem on recalling the words such as this means that..i have problem on recalling the shape of them...i cant write in hangul because i have difficult time on remembering the shape..

대박! 안녕하세요! I'm also learning Korean!

 

I learnt the entire 한글 alphabet relatively quickly. Are there any particular shapes you're struggling with?

Flashcards work well, mint seems to help (but that could be a placebo).

 

Mnemonics also help a ton. They can be insanely useful.

Yes i dont have a problem on remembering korean vocabulary but when someone ask me to write it down in hangul..i cant.

 

I have a problem on memorizing basically any other forms of non english alphabet/lexicon.

Ah, we're quite different since I'm Chinese so I can memorise other forms of alphabet well. I've been taught it's bad practise, but if you're able to associate the English equivalent of a Korean letter, it will help you lots.

 

I vouch using flash cards or even apps like DuoLingo that will assist you in memorising the letters.

 

Let's break down 안녕하세요 for example since I said it earlier:

 

안 - 녕 - 하 - 세 - 요

an - nyeong - ha - se - yo

 

I'll also break down 나는 민니입니다 (My name is Minnie) for you too as a further example:

 

나 - 는  민 - 니 - 입 - 니 - 다

na - neun  min-ni ib - ni - da

 

You can see in the above sentence where the letter 'n' is in 나는 and also in 민니.

 

Korean alphabet is straightforward in that it follows the letter system, so you can see where each letter correlates to when Romanised. Sorry if I'm not quite explaining myself clearly, I learnt the 한글 alphabet back in 2017 so I've forgotten my methods on memorising it.

Quizlet has been a helpful app for me in learning languages, though I don’t know how much it could help you, because English to Korean is so much harder than my English to spanish. Good luck man!

(As I rudely assume.)

Here's the trick:

The shape of the characters is based (roughly) on the shape the mouth makes when saying the character. For some like ㄱ you can imagine how a side view of the tongue inside the mouth might form that shape, and for ㅗ and ㅜ you can see how tracing the three points may resemble the shape of your lips from the front.
