키보드 치기 연습

Postby austinfd » October 10th, 2007 4:48 am

I want to get better at typing in Korean. I'm sure there are some simple programs out there that would help with that..but I'm having trouble finding anything worthwhile.

The one I did find is just keystroke practice (ㅈㅍㄱㅍㄴㅁㄴㅊㅠㅜㅡㅠㅕㅎ...) and then complete sentences. I'm looking for word practice.

Any ideas?

I'm glad to hear that :D
(다행이네요)

Hope it helps!!
(도움이 되길 바래요)

But apart from typing softwares, the more Korean lines you type everyday, the faster you'll get!! :D Let's keep writing Korean here :D

Hi, I would like to write in Hangul using my regular email (english) account,e.g, yahoo
I'm using Window Vista O.S. How would I be able to write my Korean friends, do I need a translator program?
Oh, and I am planing to upload some music at YOUTUBE--kind of the same question since I would like to write in Hangul in the dialog box.
Thanks Folks,
Steve

Welcome!

This is discussed here:

Read the whole thread for info about how to do it in Vista.

Then you need a way to lean the Korean layout:

this may seem overly simple and maybe even stupid, but i wrote the hangul on my computer keys with a sharpie and then erased it when i didn't need it anymore.

i tried the typing game but it wasn't working on my computer. i have a mac, so lots of korean websites don't work on my computer. it is very sad!

Yes... it is a major problem for us mac users! firefox gets around most problems, but don't blame Apple...blame Korean web developers! They just love to use ActiceX, something that even Microsoft stopped using a long time ago. Consequently, Vista has been slow to catch on here.

On another note, since I'm having my macbook HDD and keyboard replaced here in Seoul, they are going to give me a new keyboard which will of course be Korean! But, that typing website referenced above still won't work....

don't worry, i'm not blaming apple. i love my mac and wouldn't trade it for anything. i just wish i could use cyworld and clubbox and even arirangtv on my computer. but alas, i cannot. i don't use firefox either, or ie for mac. i don't like either one of them. ie for mac still doesn't let me use cyworld, clubbox, etc.

sad!

i'm on an iMac G5 OS X 10.4
i've never had a problem viewing Korean websites.
At first the characters may be jumbled but they straighten out after a second or two.
