What the word cards are for
These cards pull Korean words from Have Nunchi’s published library. Each card shows the Hangul script on the front and a short English definition on the back. The deck updates as new words are published, so the collection grows over time without requiring manual curation.
Cards are built for quick browsing and recognition practice, not deep study. They present one sense of each word, often simplified from the full entry. For the complete definition, usage examples, formality guidance, cultural context, and common mistakes, click through to the full article. The card is the preview; the article is the reference.
Use cards to refresh vocabulary, discover words you haven’t seen before, or share a specific term with someone learning Korean. They work best as a lightweight companion to reading full explanations rather than a standalone study tool. If a back-of-card definition feels incomplete or raises new questions, that’s the signal to read the linked article.
What’s included and what isn’t
Only published words with confirmed Hangul entries appear in the deck. Words still in draft, pages without Hangul, and unpublished scheduled content are excluded. This keeps the deck limited to finalized entries rather than mixing in unverified material.
Cards do not include pronunciation audio, example sentences, or the relationship and formality warnings that appear in full articles. Romanization is shown on the card where available, but romanization alone cannot teach accurate Korean pronunciation. The cards are a recognition layer, not a pronunciation guide.
How to use them
Click or tap a card to flip it between Hangul and English. Use the left and right arrow keys to move through the deck on a keyboard. On touch devices, swipe left or right. Each card includes a share link that opens the card page with that specific word selected, useful when you want to send a single Korean word to a friend.
