Korean greetings and everyday phrases

All 40 words, each with its English meaning, its pronunciation and a Korean sentence it appears in.

Greetings are whole phrases rather than words, and they are the part of a language you use on day one of actually being somewhere.

This is the exact korean greetings and everyday phrases set the LearnScreen app reviews — every word with its English meaning, its pronunciation and a Korean sentence it appears in — so nothing here is a sample of something larger you have to pay to see.

Hangul with Revised Romanisation; the script is phonetic, so the romanisation is a crutch you drop quickly.

How to actually learn them

Learn these as units. Taking them apart into grammar comes much later and helps much less.

Reading a list is not learning it. A word needs roughly eight to twelve spaced recall attempts before it stays, which is why the useful question is not how many words to read but which words to learn first and how many words you need to speak a language.

Let the list come to you

LearnScreen blocks the apps you keep opening and shows one of these Korean words instead. Answer it and the app opens. The 40 words above are already in it.
