Thanks a lot for the vocab, but can u make it on a word or excell file and upload it, so we can download all the vocab at once~
I try to copy it, but it doesn’t make a table like that~
Please,,,,
Thanks before
Sakina Mawardah
Sure.. I was already thinking of doing that..
Will upload the files soon.
Thank you
Thank you~
You’re the best~

Please don’t upload it on 4shared…
There is some place who can’t download from 4shared….
I recommend Mediafire~
😀
Thank you Leandra…
I will upload right here on TOPIK GUIDE website… 🙂
Lendra, just use Dropbox: https://db.tt/le6HQJf 🙂
You can get the download link of the word file on this page:

Thanks for the list but i need the pronounciation..
this link is broken
If you guys want to download this list, just save as html page to your desktop, then open it with a text editor and you can see the html. Delete out all the code and use “find replace” that some text editors have to remove the code that repeats in between words. In this case, some kind of find replace like
”
to
“: ”
might be what you want. If u want a powerful text editor, download sublime text for free.
I used this tool to convert the first 2,000 words to Excel.

Hi.
I put the six lists on http://www.memrise.com. It is a free site for learning vocabulary.
First list is here> https://www.memrise.com/set/10050049/1000-most-common-korean-words/
Enjoy studying
Well, while using that list we figured out is full of bugs and wrong definitions 🙁
Hi!
Thanks a lot for this list!
I have downloaded this list but it’s fonts are not understandable. would you like to do tell me how can i curb this problem?

thanks!
Thanks for the list, but i notice that it has slightly fewer than 6000 words, closer to 5666. It seems like the last entry is “5666 남산 Mountain in south central seoul”, how come?
what is the different between anida and anda
아니다 is used with nouns; 않다 is used with verbs…
Ex:
This is not a book. 이것은 책이 아닙니다.
I don’t eat meat. 저는 고기를 먹지 않습니다.
Is there a difference between the 하다 entries of 2 and 5 or the 그러다 entries at 68 and 69? I can’t tell if there are different uses/definitions that lead to the separate entries.
안녕하세요
Thanks for the list its really helpful …better than fumbling through a dictionary 🙂 and is there another part to this post (another 6000 words?) Just wondering ^_^
Kay
Thank you for this list. I want to study the hanja also, but it’s a pain to look up every word I suspect is of Chinese origin… Is there a version of this list that also shows the hanja? There was one on ezcorean.com, but that site doesn’t exist anymore. 🙁
There is a computer database of the words that contains Hanja symbols but you have to be a programmer to figure it out. https://github.com/garfieldnate/kengdic
Thanks for sharing. I wish I knew some programming. 🙂

aww can pls replaced in romanization i dont understand
Just learn Hangul. It’s fundamental for learning Korean.
Did you really expect to learn Korean but put not know how too read it? You could probably learn the whole alphabet in a week since it’s pretty easy.
It’s the easiest to learn in the world. A whole week is if you are overscheduled and have only 5 minutes avery day. (1h to )an afternoon and you’re done with that part. Took me 55′ in total with a few repetitions, and that’s all I needed to be able to ‘read’ anything since nearly a decade…. no need to even look back on it when you got the essence of the alphabet system in itself….
One thing I notice as I look through the words: Without examples, many of these are not really usable. I am thinking of many that I know, and as I think of usage, I think that with the listing and the definitions given here, I would never be able to use those words, nor recognize the meaning when I read them. I can recognize them in the list because I know the usage of he word.
Has anybody produced this list with usages?
I’ve been working on such a project to publish, have halted for a moment, and resumed to currently a compilation of such lists with many options on how to learn, use and articulate them progressively to “fluency” at different levels…. but I’m not quite there yet. I have seen such comments numerously, as did I think to myself as well, which was the reason to target that challenge. And a challenge it is…. but there are many free, near-free, with ease of access to, a variety of these more comprehensive lists and listings (annotated, described, explained, from root, for strictly simple and common use, as well…, etc.)
thanks for this words… im chilean but in spanish i dont found many words
gracias… saludos desde chile
하다 is on the list twice as number 2 and 5…
Hi! I’m interested in whether the vocabulary is the most common written words, or the most common spoken words?
Could have added romanisation to each word. It could really help. I am starting to learn Korean and it is very difficult to distinguish which is B and P, even with grammar. >_<
You really don’t want to study using romanisation. It is a bad habit almost and makes learning to read Hangul harder. It is better to memorize the Hangul very very well first. Look at the Hangul while listening and pronouncing the sound. It is very hard to properly write romanisation for Hangul and I find most of the time, Hangul sounds different slightly from the romanized text so it is hard to read the roman text. 🙂
A simple sentence for each word with a break down of the sentence would be extremely helpful.
even if the word is conjugated in the sentence, it would help
안녕하세요!
I noticed an error with the word ‘이’ when I double checked the definition, I found that ‘이’ usually means this and not person.
It has more meanings. It can mean 2, this, person, tooth…
On lines 68 and 69 the word is repeated:
68
그러다
and so, and then, well
69
그러다
and so, and then, well
That was the only error I happened to see.
What does this mean?
828 장 One piece of sty flat
You put 하다 twice
can we get these meanings in nepali language
you might have to just put the English in google translate :'(
Seems like a non-Korean wrote the definitions. There are so many that are wrong, and it got so bad that I had to remove all the definitions and look up the words myself in the dictionary. This is doing more harm than good
강조하다 == emphasis, empasis is not correct spelling. Word is located at 560.
I think there’s a mistake – 남자 is not a boy but a man/male. Boy would be 남자 아이. Also, some words appear more than once, sometimes with different definitions, sometimes not – I would suggest clumping them together.
That is kinda confusing 남자 아이 seems fore like a male child/baby whereas 소년 could be more appropriate, I think. Of course I might be mistaken, I bear in mind, meanwhile, that I’ve heard 소년 in every context and situation involving ‘boy’ (남자 could eventually be more common, and commonly used by “older boys”, especially when there has been a blurred line by the age a boy is or has been a boyfriend at some point “남자친구 / 남친”, a very typical, may I assume, change in attitude through puberty in quite a global way.) 남자 아이 does really sound quite off/odd, for some reason…
128 is wrong
thanks alot for the list though, really appreciate it!
여기 also means hobby. The word has several meanings.
안녕하세요 i need these 6000 vocabulary words in audio
