What do you want us to criticize on? Grammar, style, flow, writing (characters)?

well it's the first time i've really ever tried writing korean sentences on paper.
i want criticisms on how i'm writing it more than how the sentences are structured.
like i'm aware i stuffed up the 고, and some of the ㅅ's look weird.

To be honest, it's actually pretty good as far as the writing it out goes. I would believe it if someone told me a 1st generation Korean wrote that.

It does seem a little "strained" as far as it goes. Most Koreans tend to just write sloppy and fast which gives it that more ... authentic look I guess.

You're proportioning your writing really bad. You shouldn't be calling it calligraphy to begin with as you're definitely not writing as in the visual of the writing being an art in itself.

You should really practice writing a bit larger so you can practice writing things in proper proportions. If you live in an area with tons of Koreans you might be able to find those writing practice notebooks that they use in Korean elementary schools to practice.

kOre, there is no way in hell any Korean could possibly look at the "너없이 못산단" part of the last line and say that it is written "pretty good". It's extremely sloppy.

I guess I like sloppy writing better for some reason ... lol but I just realized how they were all different heights

Well it's obvious that you're talking out of your ass. In writing, there's a difference between simply being sloppy to just being really bad. It's like comparing a doctor's handwriting to the writing we have done when we were in grade 2 or something. Saying that GTR's writing up there is anywhere near "pretty good" and comparable to what a 1st Gen Korean would write is just being stupid and giving him the wrong idea when it's pretty obvious that he needs to just sit down and drill through writing different letter shapes until he gets a better feel for proportioning when writing.

GTR's writing looks like a 1st grader's but that's to be expected since it's his first time

korean is one of those languages where accurate relative sizes of characters does wonders to change your handwriting from bad to good.

In particular I find that you write the initial consonants too big. In example, the "ㅌ" of 티, the "ㄴ" of 네, the "ㄷ" of "다", "ㄱ" of "거", etc.

Your handwriting isn't too bad.
Just write more and practice more, try to have all the letters a uniform size.

haha my english writing isnt even good so i stopped caring about Korean...(everythings digital anyways)

but I could see why you would want to learn. the writing done with calligraphy brushes is pretty sick, especially with mixed chinese characters.

I find typing in Chinese(Simplified) difficult for me, even with a couple of years of uninteresting Chinese classes when I was in middle school(My Chinese gradually worsens years after, speaking English 75% of the time has totally butchered it). I have a easier time learning and typing in Hangul. Of course not without cheating, pretty cheap trick but my friend uses a regular keyboard but she tapes over all the keys with the Korean alphabet.

We're calling it calligraphy now?
It's not bad, it's what you would expect from your background. Just practice like the other koreans have been saying, its a good skill to have^^.

Your strokes need to be more fluid. You can tell you were writing slow just by looking at the picture.

And your consonants are too big: ㄱ ㅌ ㅂ etc

The characters are at random angles. Keep them consistent. Either straight or slightly tilted.

Too much space between each character.

My 2 cents.
