Hanja is a tricky beast ain’t she? She tempts us with her interweaving of Chinese, Japanese and Korean root words and then spits in our face when things start looking like a big mess of spilt spaghetti on the page. When first venturing into the brave world of 한문 I found that a lot of the basic characters looked similar. When I would put pen to paper, I’d find myself mixing up strokes and wondering why three different letters all looked the same. Here are some of the first words that tripped me up:
| 뜻 | 한글 | 한자 | 영어 뜻 |
| 들어가다 | 입 | 入 | to enter |
| 사람 | 인 | 人 | person |
| 아홉 | 구 | 九 | nine |
| | |||
| 흙 | 토 | 土 | dirt |
| 왕 | 왕 | 王 | king |
| 날 | 생 | 生 | life |
| 해 | 년 | 年 | year |
| 일천 | 천 | 千 | one thousand |
| | |||
| 불 | 화 | 火 | fire |
| 작은 | 소 | 小 | small |
| 적은 | 소 | 少 | few |

I’m from West Texas, and I was among a few others victim who lost hard earned money to a Forex Scam, I had invested in a broker firm to the extent that I could not afford it because this broker firm kept demanding more money whenever it is time to withdraw profits. I was lucky to have detected the foul play on time, unfortunately I had already lost $931,795 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum to this broker firm.
After going to the authorities with no progress whatsoever, my lawyer directed me to a recovery agent who took over my case discreetly and began to trace and follow where the money has been laundered to, fortunately for me, this recovery team was able to trace and recover a huge chunk of my money, through blockchain technology. I was very pleased with how they handled my case and helped me gained my confidence back. Their contact information is Morphohack@CyberServices.Com
