translation practice #18 (Nov 26 2007)

Who wrote that? i mean i can't understand almost all the black hangul letters . I mean i'm not saying the translation, which i obviously don't know either, but i can't identify most of the black hangul written there . It's very confusing!.
The first line with red hangul is find. The other one is a mess to me.

I'm probably used to read hangul in the computer and books. Need to practice more reading other people's writing.

Only a few times that has happened to me, where i have to try hard to identify the letters, which is something that should be very simple at this level.

Is there a hanja in this sign?
i'm so confused

i think there's a part that says: Our Family
and i think there is also the word: Life

That is all i understood LOL!

Jacqueline, haha, yeah it will take some getting used to if you're going to be able to read some worse handwritings but, this one isn't so difficult either once you compare that to this one :

This is what's written.
(by the way, it was written years ago by the owner of the building I'm living in. haha.)

내 집 문 앞 청소 내가 먼저.

우리 가족이 사는 층 계단은 스스로 청소하여 공동 생활에 서로 예의를 지킵시다.


Can you see how certain words are written in certain ways now? But don't worry, most people write better than this .

This is a tricky message. Not only is the handwriting hard to read (much like the handwriting of many of the Korean teachers at my academy), but I'm not sure I totally understand the message itself. Here goes:

[spoiler]My house front door
We clean it first

My family's floor that we live on has stairs that do not clean themselves. Let's keep good, etiquette-filled community living reciprocally.[/spoiler]
