Word lists: the National Institute of Korean Language (NIKL) learner vocabulary and the 2015 TOPIK vocabulary list, as compiled in combined_korean_vocabulary_list. English senses adapted from Kengdic by Joe Speigle (MPL 2.0). Revised Romanization is generated; example sentences are original Lock&Learn content.
The 61 clothing words below come from the TOPIK vocabulary lists with their readings and meanings. Korean often uses different verbs for wearing different kinds of clothing, so the verbs are listed too.
39 from TOPIK I, 12 from TOPIK II Intermediate, 10 from TOPIK II Advanced. The level chip on each row says where the word sits, so you can stop at your level or read ahead. Beginner-level words carry a real example sentence; the rest show word, romanization and meaning, with their sentences in the app.
Install Lock&Learn Korean, then touch and hold your Lock Screen, tap Customize, tap the widget area and choose Lock&Learn Korean. Enable the level packs these words come from (Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1 and more). A word waits in hangul with its romanization; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence.
Yes. The app is free on iOS: Beginner 1 is free, every other pack opens with a free preview, and another word unlocks daily. Lock&Learn+ is an optional upgrade that opens every pack at once, offered as a yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase.
