Korean Flashcards

A card you answer correctly comes back later; a card you miss comes back sooner. Do that for a few weeks and the words you find hard are the ones you see most, which is the whole trick — going through a list front to back at a constant rate spends most of its time on words you already know. These decks use SM-2 with Anki's defaults, the same scheduling most spaced-repetition apps ship with.

Only in how the work is presented. The daily plan gives you a short list to work down with the whole day visible at once; the deck shows one word at a time and asks you to answer it before it moves on. Underneath they are the same thing — one word list, one record of what you know, one set of review dates — so you cannot fall behind on one by using the other.

The front is the Hangul, and nothing else: recognising the written word is the thing you are here to practise. The back adds the hanja where the word has one, its romanization if you have that switched on, its 품사, the English senses, one real example sentence with its translation, and the recording where 국립국어원 made one.

1급 if you are starting Korean, and otherwise the level below the one you think you are at — the decks are ordered by how common each word is, so the first cards of a level are the ones that pay for themselves fastest. Learn Hangul first if you have not: the deck shows Korean, not romanization.

No. It runs on this page, saves in your browser, and works offline once the page has loaded. There is nothing to unlock and no limit on how much you study.

Yes. Each level is its own deck with its own queue, and progress on one never touches another.
