Korean vocabulary - TOPIK level 2

259 Korean words at TOPIK level 2 (TOPIK 2 - Elementary) with Hindi meanings, pronunciation and example sentences. Ideal for starting out or revising a level before a TOPIK exam.

TOPIK 2 marks a leap: the learner no longer speaks only about themselves, but describes, tells and handles simple, predictable exchanges. It is the first grade at which the past comes into play.

What you can do at level 2

• Describing your routine, likes and surroundings.
• Telling in the past what you have done.
• Exchanging simple information: shopping, appointments, travel.
• Understanding notices, posters and short messages.

Grammar points to revise

• The past tense of common verbs, formed with the -았/었 endings.
• The basic future (the -(으)ㄹ 거예요 form) and the present continuous.
• Object particles 을/를 and the pronouns 저, 나, 우리.
• Comparisons (더 … than, 덜 … than, 만큼).

Study plan

Work by situation: at the market, at the station, at the doctor’s. For each situation, memorise ten ready-made sentences instead of lists of isolated words.
