Days of the Week, Months and Time in Korean: 96 Words with Romanization and Meanings, Free List

01 · The list

Days, months and time,
level by level

The words that place things in time: the days of the week, the months, the seasons, today and tomorrow, morning and evening, hours and minutes. Every entry is drawn from the TOPIK vocabulary lists with its reading and meaning.

In Lock&Learn Korean these words sit in their level packs (Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2 and more), one per glance on the widget: a word waits in hangul with its romanization; one tap reveals the meaning and a real sentence. Beginner 1 is free; every other pack opens with a free preview and another word unlocks daily.

Type to filter by hangul, romanization or meaning. Flashcards hides the meaning until you tap a row; Shuffle deals the list in a new order.
