Which Korean Grammar Flashcards Should I Start With?
Start with the beginner Korean grammar flashcards if you can read Hangul, because they cover the endings and particles that nearly every sentence uses. The right first deck depends on how far you have come.
- You are new to grammar. Read the beginner Korean grammar lessons, then drill the beginner Korean grammar flashcards.
- Particles confuse you. Go straight to the Korean particles flashcards, which practise the choice between pairs such as 은/는 and 이/가, and 에 and 에서.
- You can already hold a short conversation. Use the intermediate Korean grammar flashcards for modifiers, guesses and reasons.
- You read news or novels. Use the advanced Korean grammar flashcards for cause, concession and attitude.
If Hangul still feels slow, read reading Hangul first, because every card shows Hangul before romanization.
All Korean Grammar Flashcards on This Site
Each deck below lists its card count and level. The levels are editorial estimates, not official levels. The 4 published decks hold 102 cards, and each deck page lists all of its cards in a table.
Start Here (A1)
The beginner and particles decks are the place to begin. They overlap on purpose, because particles appear in every beginner sentence, and the particles deck drills them more deeply.
- Beginner Korean Grammar Flashcards (25 cards, level A1): covers about 25 core A1 patterns: the main particles, the -아요/어요 and -ㅂ니다 endings, past and future, wanting, requesting, permission, obligation and negation. Each card has an example sentence and a link to its lesson.
- Korean Particles Flashcards (26 cards, level A1): covers about 25 high-frequency particles with one example each, including the place, time, person and means uses. Particles have their own deck because you use them from day one and practise them by choosing between pairs.
Next Levels (B1 and B2)
These two decks assume you can already read and say the A1 patterns. Both are published, and each follows the lessons it drills.
- Intermediate Korean Grammar Flashcards (26 cards, level B1): covers 26 intermediate patterns: noun modifiers, guesses, reasons, time and sequence, purpose and change, experience, contrast and conditions.
- Advanced Korean Grammar Flashcards (25 cards, level B2): covers fixed patterns for cause, concession, degree and the speaker's attitude, starting with -는 바람에 (because of).
How Do Grammar Cards Differ from Vocabulary Cards?
A vocabulary card holds a word and its meaning. A grammar card holds a pattern, its meaning and one example sentence, because a pattern such as -(으)ㄹ 거예요 is never used alone. The front shows the pattern, the audio plays the example sentence, and the note gives a short use hint.
This changes how you study. With a vocabulary card you ask what a word means. With a grammar card you ask when to use the pattern, what it attaches to and what it sounds like in a sentence. Say the example aloud before you reveal the answer, then try to make a second sentence of your own with a different verb. That small step turns recognition into use.
How Do the Decks Match the Grammar Lessons?
Every published deck is built from the patterns on the site's lesson pages, and each deck's card table links every pattern to the lesson that explains it. Read the lesson first, then drill the deck.
Patterns that look alike, such as -아서/어서 and -(으)니까, are cross-referenced in the card notes, and the confusing grammar compared page sets them side by side. The Korean grammar hub lists every lesson.
How Many Patterns Should I Study per Day?
Ten new cards a day is the default and a safe pace. The deck builder shows due cards first, then up to 10 new cards, and caps a session at 20 cards. You can set the session to 10, 20 or 40 cards. Grammar cards are denser than vocabulary cards, so many learners choose 5 new cards a day.
| Plan | Time at 10 new cards a day |
|---|---|
| One deck of 25 or 26 cards | 3 days |
| Beginner plus particles (51 cards) | 6 days |
Reviews are scheduled by a five-box Leitner system with gaps of 10 minutes, 1, 3, 7 and 21 days, and the schedule is explained on every deck page. Progress is saved only in your browser, so use the export button to keep a backup.
What These Decks Do Not Cover
The decks drill about 100 patterns, not the whole grammar. They do not give every nuance or every register restriction, and a grammar book or a teacher remains the place for fine points. They do not include verb conjugation tables; use the Korean conjugator and the Korean conjugation quiz for that. All Korean text is generated and was reviewed and signed off by Min-ji Park on 15 October 2026, and the pronunciation audio is generated with text-to-speech and checked by a Korean teacher before publication. For single words, see the Korean vocabulary flashcards, and for whole sentences see the Korean phrases flashcards. The full list of topics is on the Korean flashcards hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Grammar Cards Include Examples?
Yes. Every card shows one pattern with its meaning and an example sentence in Hangul with Revised Romanization and an English gloss. The audio plays the example sentence, and the card table on each deck page links to the lesson that explains the pattern.
How Do Grammar Decks Differ from Vocabulary Decks?
A vocabulary deck teaches single words. A grammar deck teaches patterns, which are particles, endings and connectors that attach to other words. A grammar card is therefore practised with an example sentence, and you should be able to say when to use the pattern as well as what it means.
Which Deck Covers Particles?
The Korean particles flashcards. Particles also appear in the beginner deck, but there they share space with verb endings. The particles deck has 26 cards for about 25 high-frequency particles (에 gets two cards, one for place and one for time), so you can practise choosing between pairs such as 에 and 에서.
Are Verb Conjugation Tables Included?
No. The grammar decks teach patterns such as -아요/어요 and -(으)ㄹ 거예요, not full conjugation tables for each verb. Use the conjugator tool and the conjugation quiz to practise individual verbs, including irregular ones.
Is My Progress Saved If I Close the Page?
Yes, in the same browser on the same device. Card boxes and due dates are stored locally and nothing is sent to a server. Clearing site data, using a private window or switching browsers removes them, so use the export button to keep a backup file. No account is needed.
