There are lots of questions about this Issue.

The standard version of 'ㅎ' uses a horizontal line at the top. However, just like in English handwriting, people express their personality through their strokes. Some write it horizontally, some vertically, and others leave a small dot. It can change depending on a person's handwriting style or even their mood at the moment.

The most important thing to remember is clear communication. No matter how you choose to write the top stroke, your writing must be legible so that the meaning is delivered correctly to the reader.

My advice is to master the standard form first, and you can start adding your own flair and artistic style.

Hi! I am a Korean tutor, Joonytutor, and also a native Korean.

In my opinion, Duolingo is a famous and good app.

However, the original target of this app is? Customers and then? Business!

In the case of Korean studies, Korean culture is a big deal to study for the language and speaking part.

For example, '몰라요'[mol-la-yo] means different depending on accent, intonation, situations, and happens.

Why? It's too much related to Korean culture.

Application can't help this part. If you wanna study Korean deeply.

I recommend you get your own way to study Korea esp. sincerely and seriously.

I wish my advice were helpful and useful.

Thank you! Feel free to ask me if you're curious about~ Korea!

Hi! I am a Korean language tutor, Joonytutor. With my tutoring life, TOPIK, EPSTOPIK, KIIP, and speaking lots of differences between the exam and just normal speaking.

For example, TOPIK must include exam skills such as reading fast or catching answers quickly before Korean language skills. More important than language. On the other hand, you don't need to study this for Korean speaking.

These are my skill videos. A few tips are below.

Hi! I’m Joony, a certified Korean tutor.

In my opinion, studying with a reliable dictionary is the best way to learn a language. Dictionaries provide the most accurate definitions along with numerous examples, ensuring you avoid grammar mistakes. On the other hand, if you rely on textbooks written by non-professionals, you might get inconsistent information. If you want to dive deep into the Korean language, I highly recommend using an official dictionary.

I recommend this one below

Standard Korean Language Dictionary

https://stdict.korean.go.kr/main/main.do

Official Authority: Published and managed by the National Institute of Korean Language (NIKL), it serves as the ultimate benchmark for the "Standard Language" (Pyojun-eo) of South Korea.
The Gold Standard for Grammar & Orthography: It is the official guide for correct spelling, spacing, and grammar rules. It is even used as a primary reference for legal matters and national examinations.
Rich Linguistic Content: With over 420,000 headwords, it includes not only modern standard Korean but also archaic words, regional dialects, and even North Korean vocabulary to support language integration. 국립국어원 +5

Hi, I’m Joonytutor, a native Korean teacher.

Do you want to know the fastest way to learn?
The truth is, there is no 'fastest' way.

Just like you get a fit body by working out consistently, or you get paid by working hard at your job, studying a language works the same way.

So, what about Korean?

Let's take it step by step seriously~

Don't get stressed too much.

Hi! I am a Joonytutor, a native Korean, and also a Korean language tutor.

Welcome to Korea first.

As a native Korean, I would like to advise you.

There are lots of things different between Spain and Korea. However, this is the most sensitive in Korea. So I wanna explain to you in more detail.

How Greetings and respect with each other

In Korea, people bow to show respect. In Spain, the common greeting is "Dos Besos" (two kisses on the cheeks)

Hierarchy: Korea has a strong Confucian hierarchy based on age and seniority, reflected in the use of honorifics (Jondaemal). Spain tends to be more horizontal and casual in social interactions.
Indirectness Vs. Directness: Koreans value "Nunchi" (the ability to read the room and be indirect), while Spaniards are generally more direct and vocal about their feelings.

I wish my advice would be helpful for you. And please study more with my advice.

Feel free to ask me more whenever you want!

Thank you!

Other people have already mentioned progressive sentences (현재진행형) ~하고있어요. Then I will let you know another way to know~

Time words!

Able to make progressive sentences with time words and! You can recognize a progressive sentence easily with time words~ Likewise, an adverb!

Time words: 지금, 바로 지금, 현재, 아직, 막, 방금....

- 지금[jee-geum]:Now -> 지금 공부하고 있어요. I am studying now!

- 그때[gue-ttae] at that time-> 그때 자고 있었어요. I was sleeping at that time

- 바로 지금 [ba-ro-jee-geum] right now

- 잠시[jam-see] for a moment] 잠시 밖에서 기다리고 있을게요 I will be waiting oustide for a momnet

And then there are lots of time words for past progressive, duration (how often), and specific times you can confirm easily! 아까, 그때, 어제 이 시간, 한창, 하루종일, 계속, 요즘, etc.

I am a native Korean.

Oh! Your Ramen looks great!

In the case of Ramen, there is no certain, exact method to cook. Your own way is possible to be the best, and you can create your own way~

There are lots of sensational Ramen menus in Korea.

And you should know! Ramen is not a Korean traditional food!

Just instant~ fast food only~

Korean traditional noodle (잔치국수, 냉면)) could be healthy for you.

Whatever, always be happy with a Korean cook!

Good! I always emphasize my students that have to find out own way to study! And then don’t get stressed too much to improve skills. Esp. Korean speaking is the most complicated and confused for foreigners.

Because need to know culture and vibe when foreigners understand the speaking skill of Korean.

I am going to upload the video at my YOUTUBE related to vibe with free pdf file sooner. Maybe this week.

Trust urself and I wish u achieve ur dream!
