About geulssi

geulssi helps adults who speak English learn to write Korean letters (Hangul) by hand. The name means "handwriting" in Korean (글씨).

How it teaches

Each letter on the Hangul chart shows its strokes one at a time, in the order of the Korean textbook for adult learners (EPS-TOPIK standard textbook). The 24 basic letters were also checked against the Korean primary-school textbook.
You watch it, trace it, then write it from memory — first each letter, then whole syllable blocks (안 = ㅇ + ㅏ + ㄴ), words and your name.
Your writing is checked stroke by stroke: how many strokes, their shape and where they go. If you write a stroke in another order or direction than the textbook, you get a short note. Finish a block and you get a stamp.

Your writing is actually checked, not just drawn over a picture.
On My name in Korean you can turn your English name into Korean, practise writing it and share a stamp card.
