Korean handwriting
안녕하세요. Hi, 현우 here again. Today I'm posting a video of myself writing 안녕하세요 in handwriting.
Even after I learned to speak English to a certain level, I found myself unable to read what my friend wrote in letters or on their notebooks in handwriting very easily. ^^But then I think it's probably true for most Korean learners as well, so I'm going to try to make a few more videos like this, introducing how some of the most common expressions are written in handwriting ^_^
Please enjoy!

Korean Festival..
Two weeks ago I was on my way to my favorite Korean restaurant in all of NYC just like any other Saturday, but as I was approaching K-town, I could tell something was going on. When I got there, I was happy to discover that I had accidentally walked into the middle of a Korean festival!
The entire block was shut down with booths and food vendors lining each side, and multitudes of people crowding up and down. I took a stroll down each side, checked out the contents of each booth, got run over by a few 아줌마들.. You know, the usual things that happen at these events.. There were so many food options that I had a hard time deciding, but eventually settled on 오뎅 떡볶이. I was a little disappointed in my selection, but it must have just... Show more
