이 덱 소개
Learners are told Hangul can be read in a day, and it can. Then the alphabet stops helping, because reading 비싸요 aloud does not tell you it means expensive, and nothing in the script warns you that Korean adjectives conjugate like verbs, that 있다 covers both having and existing, or that 배 is a stomach, a pear and a boat depending on the sentence around it. This deck covers the 300 words that carry TOPIK I. Every card shows the Korean, and the back gives the romanisation, the English meaning, the part of speech, and an original Korean sentence with its translation. Cards are tagged by theme — people, home, food, travel, time, position, questions — and by part of speech, so you can drill only verbs, or only the counters that trip up every beginner. Import it and the deck joins your spaced-repetition schedule, and what stays in rotation is the set you still have to stop and decode.
자주 묻는 질문
- Does importing this deck use AI credits?
- No. Importing uses the saved deck as published; it does not run AI generation or use AI credits. The complete deck can therefore be imported on the free plan.
- What happens if I import the deck twice?
- Nothing is duplicated. Cards you already have are skipped and only newly added cards come across. Including re-imports after deleting, each official deck can be imported three times per account.
- Can I use it on the web app and the phone app?
- Yes. The deck is added to your account, so the same cards and the same progress are available in the web app, the iOS app and the Android app.
- Can I edit the cards after importing?
- Yes. Imported cards are yours: you can edit both sides, delete cards you do not need, change tags, and move cards to another deck.
- What is in the deck?
- 125 nouns, 60 verbs, 53 descriptive verbs, 21 adverbs, 14 pronouns, 10 numerals and 15 set phrases, 300 in total. One word per card, so nothing appears twice.
- Do I need to read Hangul first?
- It helps, but the romanisation on every card means you can start before you are fluent at reading. The fronts are Hangul only on purpose: recognising the written word is what the exam tests, and romanisation you lean on for too long becomes a habit that slows reading down.
- Why are adjectives labelled descriptive verbs?
- Because that is how they behave. 크다 is not used the way an English adjective is; it conjugates and can end a sentence on its own. Labelling it a verb on the card is a reminder every time you see it, which is more useful than learning the rule once and forgetting it in conversation.
- Is this enough to pass TOPIK I?
- It covers the vocabulary layer thoroughly. Import it and open it daily, and the only words that come up are the ones you cannot yet produce. Spend the time that frees up on listening practice and on reading short passages, which is where TOPIK I marks are usually lost.
Selection reflects vocabulary commonly associated with TOPIK levels 1 and 2; the National Institute for International Education has not endorsed this deck and past papers are not reproduced.
