🏐Writing Orders

“From left to right, from top to bottom” is the principle of writing. Don’t forget!

Let’s try writing in the air with our index finger while reading the vowels.

①ㅏ➕ ㅣ = ㅐ

② ㅑ  ➕ ㅣ= ㅒ

③ ㅓ ➕ ㅣ = ㅔ

④ ㅕ ➕ | = ㅖ

⑤ ㅡ ➕ ㅣ = ㅢ

Lastly, the pronunciation of ‘ㅢ’ is a sound that comes from rapidly combining ‘ㅡ’ and ‘ㅣ’.
