Key facts
- 4 published decks with 113 cards in total: TOPIK I vocabulary and grammar (30 and 27 cards, levels A1 and A2) and TOPIK II vocabulary and grammar (30 and 26 cards, levels B1 and B2).
Which Topik Flashcards Should I Start With?
Start with the TOPIK I deck that matches your need, because the first level is where most learners begin. The right first deck depends on what you are missing.
- You want everyday words. Use the TOPIK 1 vocabulary flashcards: 30 words for people, time, places, food and the most common verbs and adjectives (level A1).
- You can say words but not build sentences. Use the TOPIK 1 grammar flashcards: 27 patterns for ability, time, reasons, suggestions and requests (level A2).
- You have finished TOPIK I material and aim for the next level. The TOPIK II vocabulary flashcards lean toward abstract nouns and words from written texts.
- You can follow longer sentences and want written-style patterns. The TOPIK II grammar flashcards cover written-style patterns.
If Hangul still feels slow, read reading Hangul first, because every card shows Hangul before romanization.

How Do These Decks Relate to the Exam?
The exam has two parts. TOPIK I covers levels 1 and 2, and TOPIK II covers levels 3 to 6; the TOPIK levels page explains the scores and the match to CEFR. The decks follow the same split: the two TOPIK I decks fit the first part, and the two TOPIK II decks fit the second part.
The decks are built from topics and patterns that are typical of each level. They are not copied from any official list, and passing every card does not mean you will pass the exam. They train recall of words and patterns, which is one skill among several, so also practise reading and listening on past papers. Read TOPIK I for the format of the first part, and TOPIK grammar for the patterns the lessons cover.
The TOPIK II decks stress abstract nouns and written-register patterns, because the second part uses longer texts. There, a noun for an idea or an event, such as 환경 (environment), is more useful than a word for an object, and a written-style ending is more common than a spoken one. The TOPIK I decks are the opposite: short, spoken, everyday items such as 가족 (family).
How Many Cards Should I Study Each 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.
| Plan | Time at 10 new cards a day |
|---|---|
| One deck of 26 to 30 cards | 3 days |
| Both TOPIK I decks (57 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. Grammar cards are denser than word cards, so many learners take 5 new grammar cards a day.
What Do These Decks Not Cover?
The published decks hold 113 cards, so they are a core, not the whole vocabulary or grammar of the exam. They do not include listening or reading practice tests, writing practice or speaking practice. The TOPIK reading, TOPIK listening pages cover those sections, and the TOPIK writing guide covers the writing section.
EPS-TOPIK, the test for workers who plan to work in Korea, has its own vocabulary and is not covered here. The TOPIK vs EPS-TOPIK page explains the difference. For a longer word list with audio, see the TOPIK vocabulary page. For all other topics, see the Korean flashcards hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are These Official TOPIK Lists?
No. The decks are study sets built from topics and patterns that are typical of the two exam levels. They are not copied from any official word or grammar list, and they do not cover every item that could appear on the test. Use them to practise, and check the official TOPIK site (topik.go.kr) for the exact test.
Which Deck Should I Use for TOPIK I?
Start with the TOPIK I vocabulary flashcards for everyday words, then do the TOPIK I grammar flashcards for the patterns. TOPIK I covers levels 1 and 2, so the two decks are rated A1 and A2. If you can already read Hangul and make short sentences, you can begin with either deck.
Does It Cover EPS-TOPIK?
No. EPS-TOPIK is a separate test for workers who plan to work in Korea, and its vocabulary is different. These decks follow the general TOPIK I and II levels. The page on TOPIK versus EPS-TOPIK explains who takes each test and how they differ.
Do the Cards Predict My Score?
No. The cards give you practice, not a score or a pass prediction. The Got it and Not yet grades are your own judgement, and the deck never claims fluency. For a rough picture of readiness, take past exam papers under timed conditions as well.
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.
