Speed in Korean
Korean typing speed is counted in 타 (strokes) per minute: every key press counts, so 한 is 3 strokes. Around 100 is a good start for learners, 200–300 is a typical native speed.
FAQ
I don't have a Korean keyboard installed. Can I still practice?
Yes. Keep "Convert from English keys" on and type on your normal QWERTY keyboard; the tool turns your key presses into Hangul as a Korean keyboard would.
Does it work on a phone?
The trainer is made for a physical keyboard. On a phone, use the Korean keyboard of your phone instead and turn off the conversion option.
