About this deck
These 100 cards cover the Korean words beginners use most: greetings, pronouns, family, food, places, time words, numbers, basic verbs and adjectives. Hangul is on the front; the back gives the English meaning with the romanized pronunciation in parentheses.
Romanization follows the Revised Romanization of Korean, the official system in South Korea and the one used on road signs. Verbs and adjectives are shown in their dictionary form ending in -๋ค.
The deck suits learners at TOPIK I level and anyone picking up Korean for travel or K-dramas. Turn on audio to hear native-style pronunciation.
Study tips
- Learn to read Hangul first; it takes most people only a few hours, and romanization quickly becomes a crutch.
- Notice the two number systems: native Korean (ํ๋, ๋, ์ ) and Sino-Korean (์ผ, ์ด, ์ผ). Both are used every day.
- Say each word aloud. Sounds change when syllables meet, so the audio may differ slightly from the letter-by-letter reading.
- For verbs, learn the polite present form next: ๊ฐ๋ค โ ๊ฐ์, ๋จน๋ค โ ๋จน์ด์.

Frequently asked questions
โบWhy do verbs end in -๋ค?
-๋ค marks the dictionary form. In conversation you add endings such as -์์/-์ด์ for polite speech.
โบIs romanization enough to pronounce Korean correctly?
It is a rough guide. Several Korean consonants, such as ใฑ/ใ /ใฒ, have no exact English match, so listening to audio matters.
โบWhat is the difference between ์๋ ํ์ธ์ and ์๋ ?
์๋ ํ์ธ์ is the polite greeting for most situations. ์๋ is casual and used with close friends or children.
