자주 하는 실수

The top line connects the characters. If you write it first, you can't join the letters properly.

Wrong: Writing the top line first.
정답: Writing the top line last.

In Devanagari, the consonant symbol inherently contains the 'a' sound.

Wrong: Pronouncing 'क' as just 'k'.
정답: Pronouncing 'क' as 'ka'.

Aspiration is a distinct phoneme; missing it changes the word entirely.

Wrong: Ignoring the aspiration on 'ख'.
정답: Adding a puff of air to 'ख'.
