Intermediate Korean Vocabulary Spreadsheet

I made a spreadsheet of every single word I’ve learned in my third year of Korean at uni. They’re classified by category.

The categories are: 집안의 일상, 직장 생활, 언어와 문화, 스트레스, 여행의 감동, 결혼, 공연감상, 교육, 환경, 컴퓨터, 인터냇

I’m leaving this chart here for anyone who wants to know more about the difference between spoken & written Korean! Obvs you have to be able to read in Korean but it’s a really helpful chart and many people have asked me about this before and I gave kind of lackluster answers so…here’s the real break down of how they differ!

I will also provide some examples of turning written > spoken or spoken > written.

(SPOKEN > WRITTEN)

SPOKEN: 엄마한테 용돈을 달라고 하고 싶은데 어떻게 말해야 하지?

WRITTEN: 어머니에게 용돈을 달라고 하고 싶은데 어떻게 말해야 하는가?

SPOKEN: 음… 친구 만나 뭐 할까?

WRITTEN: 친구를 만나 무엇을 하는가?

SPOKEN: 아, 쓰레기 문제가 심각하네요 정말.

WRITTEN: 쓰레기 문제가 매우 심각하다.

SPOKEN: 이번 주말엔 할일이 너무너무 많아.

WRITTEN:이번 주말에는 할 일이 아주 많다.

(WRITTEN > SPOKEN)

WRITTEN: 최근 환경문제가 매우 심각하므로 모두가 머리를 맞대고 대책을 세워야 한다.

SPOKEN: 요즘 환경문제가 너무 심각하니까 모두가 머리(를) 맞다고 대책(을) 세워야 돼(요)

WRITTEN: 이러한 행동은 간과해서는 안 될 것이다.

SPOKEN: 이런 행동 봐주면 안 돼(요)

WRITTEN: 다시는 유사한 실수를 반복하지 않도록 각별한 주의 바란다.

SPOKEN: 같은 실수 다시 하지 않게 조심해(요)

WRITTEN: 봄이 되면 여의도는 꽃구경을 가려는 인파로 북적이게 된다.

SPOKEN: 봄 되면 꽃구경 하러 여의도 가는 사람들(이) 많아(요)

Hopefully this gives you a feeling for how they are different!

Advanced Grammar: V느라고 V는데 (or V느라고 하는데)

"I do do V, but..." "Despite the fact that I..."

공부하느라고 하는데 성적이 안 느네요. I do study, but my grades aren't getting better.

자느라고 자는데 하루 종일 피곤해요. I do sleep, but I'm tired all day.

깨끗하게 하느라고 했는데 아직 좀 지저분하네. I did try hard to clean up, but it's still messy.

Note: some Koreans will tell you that the correct form of this is V노라고 V는데 because ~노라고 implies that the speaker has made an effort to do something. My teacher uses ~느라고 ~는데 and says it is correct though.

🎐concerning something - ~에 대해(서) and ~에 관해(서)🎐

Requested by @spiderlilysss . Thank you so much for requesting! I hope the following explanation can help you.♡

🎨 How to translate -에 대해 or -에 대해서 when you stumble across that pattern?

‘-에 대해(서)’ means 'about' or 'concerning'.

It is used when you want to talk about something relating to a specific topic (e.g. I have been thinking a lot about that book recently -> 요즘은 그 책(n., the book)에 대해 많이 생각해요.)

🎨 How to use -에 대해(서) in a sentence?

Just like I mentioned before, the speaker uses -에 대해(서) to talk about something.

To use it within a sentence you only have to add '-에 대해(서)' to the topic when it is followed by a verb, and ‘-에 대한’ when it is followed by nouns.

Ex.:

그 책은 무엇에 대한 책이에요? (= What is that book about?)

🎨 What is the difference between -에 대해(서) and -에 관해(서)?

There is none. Both particles are 100% interchangeable.

Ex.: ('What do you think about me?')

저에 대해서 어떻게 생각해요?

저에 관해서 어떻게 생각해요?
