Korean Keyboard || How to Type Hangul? How to use Korean Keyboard?

I’m really enjoying my foray into Korean so far. My current learning strategy is:

– Flexi Classes to talk with a native speaker
– Lingodeer to fill in the gaps

I definitely feel progress. I can read Hangul (albeit slowly), I can build basic sentences and have a fairly simple understanding thus far.

When I move to Korea I will spend as much time as possible with Koreans to try and absorb the language.

HOWEVER - I have one thing that has left me still dumbfounded. Using a Korean keyboard. I’m having an absolute nightmare trying to type basic words.

I’ve struggled on both phone and computer :sweat_smile:

Any Korean students or natives who have any tips for me here?!

As for the left hand, I memorized these words / phrases, which line up with the Hangul:

TOP ROW:
복잡다기 쇼: complicated show ( or use “beach ducks”)

MIDDLE ROW
무늬 유리 호: embossed glass (pattern + glass) plus the sound “호” (rhymes with first line)

BOTTOM ROW
카툰 차표: cartoon ticket (or use “ket-chup”)

I found this video really helpful to type in Korean on a phone keyboard :smiley:

Skip to the 3 minute mark for the helpful stuff

I remember on Mac you have the option to show the keyboard layout on screen, then I would just slowly find the corresponding key on the keyboard to type words :laughing: not fast but with practice I could remember the letters’ placement

Practising and making progress with this keyboard!

Got some Flexi Korean lessons bookmarked in and I’ll ask m teachers there too.

Love this tip!

Getting there with typing Korean, I went over the video above and @Matthew_Flood-Korean-A1_Upper tips.

Very useful, just need to rinse and repeat now until it becomes second nature.

They sell those Korean silicon keyboard which you can use to top on your current one. If you find it hard to use Korean keyboard at first, you can defo give that a try

Ah that’s a nice idea, I will check maybe Coupang or Carrot too :wink:
