      Korean Flash Cards Kit Ebook - Soohee Kim

      INTRODUCTION

      Korean is the official language of both North Korea where it is called 조선말 (joseonmal) and South Korea where it is called 한국어 (hangeugeo). It is currently the 16th most spoken language of the world. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in China. There are some 78 million Korean speakers, with large groups of immigrants and their descendants in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, the United States, the CIS (post-Soviet states), and more recently, the Philippines.

      Native Korean words account for about 35% of the Korean vocabulary today, while about 60% of the Korean vocabulary consists of Sino-Korean words through a long history of borrowing from the Chinese language. The native Korean words include a large mimetic vocabulary, both onomatopoeic and action/state mimicking adverbs.

      Hangeul is the native alphabet of the Korean language, the official script of North Korea, South Korea and Yanbian. It is a phonemic alphabet organized into syllabic blocks. Each block consists of at least two of the 24 Hangeul letters, with at least one of the 14 consonants and one of the 10 vowels.

      In these flash cards, the transliteration, or romanization, of the Korean writing is done in the Revised Romanization of Korean, which is the official Korean language romanization system in South Korea (promulgated in 2000). The basic transliteration scheme is as follows:

      Vowel letters

      Consonant letters

      Notes:

      1 as an initial sound

      2 as the final sound in a syllable

      3 a sequence of ㄱ’s and a ㄱ as a final sound after other obstruent (hard consonant) sounds such as t, k, s, ch

      4 only as a final sound; no sound value to this symbol (ㅇ) syllable when used initially

      5 as an initial or between-two-vowels sound

      6 as the final sound in a syllable

      In these flash cards, the long and short vowel distinction, which does not exist for younger speakers of most dialects in modern Korean, is left out. Although the distinction between two vowels ㅐ (ae) and ㅔ (e) is also questionable in real-life speech, it is made clear in the cards to help students acquire the Korean spelling of the words, if they would like to do so.

      What’s on the Flash Cards

      For nouns, rather than introducing abstract and general Sino-vocabulary words disguised in simple categories, the cards include as many concrete nouns as possible that are useful for daily communication. Semantic grouping of the words onto each card is used to enhance learners’ mental organization and retention of the acquired words.

      For verbs and adjectives, one of the greatest challenges of learning Korean is having a grasp of native Korean vocabulary and its core plus extended meanings. Korean Flash Cards concentrates on providing core native-Korean words with their central meanings and nuances not easily learned from a book. For the same reason, words whose core meanings are simple and can be easily looked up in an online or standard dictionary are not included, no matter how basic. Words that might be considered intermediate by other linguists and teachers due to their usage restrictions are included, if their daily usefulness seems sufficient.

      In this volume, the first 84 words are nouns; they are categorized in this sequence, with the number of words in each category indicated in parentheses:

      Body, Clothing, Toiletries (9) cards 1–9

      School Subjects (11) cards 10–20

      Everyday Items (8) cards 21–28

      Home, Neighborhood (5) cards 29–33

      Direction, Location, Streets (9) cards 34–42

      Colors (3) cards 43–45

      Family Relationships (8) cards 46–53

      Nature, Geography (14) cards 54–67

      Numbers (8) cards 68–75

      Time (9) cards 76–84

      The second 116 words comprise a verb and adjective group. It makes sense to group these two parts of speech together since they conjugate similarly as the predicate at the end of a sentence. They are categorized in this sequence:

      Locomotion, Movement, Action (8) cards 85–92

      Daily/Basic Actions, Activities (24) cards 93–116

      Household, Neighborhood (3) cards 117–119

      Life, Health (8) cards 120–127

      Emotion, Feeling, Sensation, Sensory (11) cards 128–138

      Food, Eating, Cooking (6) cards 139–144

      Object-space manipulation (6) cards 145–150

      Consciousness, Mental Function (4) cards 151–154

      Concrete Description (4) cards 155–158

      Time, Events (2) cards 159–160

      Weather, Climate, Atmospheric Conditions, Elements (3) cards 161–163

      Dimension, Texture, Appearance, Quality, State (11) cards 164–174

      Abstract/Emotional Description (8) cards 175–182

      Adverbs (18): descriptive (2), degree (4), frequency-probability (2), temporal-ordering (5), other (5) cards 183–200

      Wherever possible, especially when comparable English idioms are found, the cards provide well-known Korean sayings and idiomatic expressions as example sentences, along with literal translations (lit.) if the translation seems difficult to understand.

      Using the Flash Cards

      The front of each card contains an entry Korean word and four semantically related words. On the back of the card are listed the main word and its four related words with transliteration and translation. An example sentence featuring the entry word is also provided both in Hangeul and romanization preceding its English translation.

      Entry words are occasionally repeated when relevant (best categorized as a topic word). When there are alternate forms (usually alternate standard forms), they are both included.

      The cards are best used by those who have acquired the Korean alphabet and are currently studying Korean grammar either independently or in a class.

      Using the Audio Files

      This online audio file contains MP3 files for the Korean text on the cards. The main Korean word, its four related words and the example sentence are read out in each audio file. The example sentence is read out twice, with its English translation read once.

      File numbers are as follows:

         001.mp3 for Card 1

         002.mp3 for Card 2... and so on to

         200.mp3 for Card 200.

      English-Korean Index

      In this index, verbs are listed under their infinitive form (e.g. to apologize; to write). See under T for all verbs.
