Korean Fruits and Vegetables Flashcards: 30 Cards with Audio and Notes

Korean Fruits and Vegetables Flashcards: Study the 30 Cards

Say each word aloud before you press Show answer. Every card has a short note that explains how the word is used or why it sounds different from its spelling.

How Do I Use These Flashcards?

Use the deck above in four steps. It works with tap, click or keyboard, and nothing plays until you press an audio button.

1. Choose a mode. Start with recognition (Hangul to meaning). Switch to recall (meaning to Hangul) or listening (audio to meaning) once recognition feels easy.
2. Show the answer. Think of the answer first, then press Show answer (or Space). Turn on the romanization toggle only if you need it; the 30-card table below always shows it.
3. Grade yourself. Press Got it if you answered correctly without help, or Not yet if you hesitated or guessed.
4. Finish the session. A session holds up to 20 cards (you can set 10, 20 or 40). With 30 cards, a first-time learner can split the deck over 3 days, using the default limit of 10 new cards a day.

What Do the Three Modes Do?

Recognition shows the Hangul and asks for the meaning, which trains reading. Recall shows the meaning and asks for the Hangul, which trains remembering; you may type the answer with your Hangul keyboard or just recall it in your head. Listening plays a clip and hides the letters, which trains the ear. Listening mode only uses a card once its audio is approved, and cards without approved audio are skipped in that mode with a note.

What Do Got It and Not yet Do?

Got it moves the card up one Leitner box, so it comes back later. Not yet sends the card back to box 1, so it returns in the same session or within 10 minutes. The grades are your own judgement; the deck does not score you or claim fluency.

Deck Scope: What Is and Is Not Covered

The deck covers common fruits and vegetables, including Korean staples such as 배추, 무 and 참외. Seasonings, meat and sauces are in the korean ingredients flashcards, and drinks such as juice are in the korean drinks flashcards. The full word lists, with example sentences, are in the fruits in korean lesson.

What Is Left out of This Deck?

The deck has 30 cards, so it leaves out many fruits and vegetables that the lesson pages list, for example 도라지, 연근 and dried produce. It shows each word alone, not inside a sentence, and it does not test counters beyond the two counter notes below.

All 30 Cards in One Table

All 30 cards appear below in deck order. The table is plain HTML, so you can use it as a drill without the deck: cover the Meaning column, read each word aloud, then uncover the meaning.

How Do I Read the Table?

Hangul is the word. Revised Romanization (RR) is a learning aid, so try to read the Hangul before you look at it. RR follows the spelling rules of the official system, not every sound change, so it can differ from what you hear. The Meaning column gives the English gloss, and the Note column gives a use or sound hint. The last column lists the audio assetId; a second ID marked slow is a slower clip for the 4 cards whose sound differs from their spelling.

Usage Notes for These Cards

Counting fruit. Grapes are counted by the bunch with 송이: 포도 한 송이 (one bunch of grapes). A watermelon is counted with 통: 수박 한 통 (one whole watermelon). The everyday counter 개 suits an apple or a pear.

Buying and eating. Fruit is bought with 사다 and eaten with 먹다: 과일을 사요 (I buy fruit).

Radish and kimchi vegetables. 무 is the large white radish used in kimchi and soups, and 배추 is the napa cabbage that most kimchi is made from.

Two look-alike roots. 고구마 is the sweet potato and 감자 is the potato, so the two names are not interchangeable.

Which Sounds Do Not Match the Spelling?

옥수수 is said [옥쑤수]: the ㅅ after a ㄱ final is tensified (made tense). Revised Romanization writes oksusu.

복숭아 is said [복쑹아] for the same reason: ㅅ after a ㄱ final is tensified.

버섯 is said [버섣]: the final ㅅ is read as ㄷ. With a particle the ㅅ comes back, so 버섯이 is [버서시].

These forms follow the standard pronunciation rules (표준 발음법) of the 국립국어원 (National Institute of Korean Language).

What Mistakes Do Learners Make with Fruits and Vegetables?

• Using 배 for the fruit without context. 배 also means belly and ship, so say 배를 먹어요 or add a clue such as 과일.
• Calling a 고구마 a 감자. They are different vegetables.
• Using 개 for grapes. A bunch of grapes takes 송이.

How Does the Review Schedule Work?

The deck uses a simplified Leitner system with five boxes. A new card starts in box 1. Each Got it moves it up one box, and each Not yet returns it to box 1. The box sets how long the card waits before it is due again.

Each session shows due cards first, oldest due first, and then up to 10 new cards a day by default. Progress is saved only in this browser, so clearing site data deletes it. Use the export button to save a small JSON file with card IDs, boxes and due dates, and import it on another device. No account is needed.

Cultural and Practical Context

Kimchi uses 배추 and 무 as main vegetables, and 참외 is a yellow summer melon popular in Korea. Because both words are everyday market words, cards 15-16 and card 10 are worth learning early.

Next Steps after This Deck

The words and letters on these cards are explained in the fruits in korean lesson, so read it first if a card is new. This deck is one of the korean vocabulary flashcards on the site, so browse the full list if you want a different topic. When these cards feel easy, move on to korean drinks flashcards to keep the same routine. If a word here still feels shaky, go back to korean ingredients flashcards for the earlier material. After a session, write the same words by hand with the korean food vocabulary worksheet. To check what you recalled, take the fruits in korean quiz next. All flashcard decks, including Hangul, vocabulary, phrases, grammar and TOPIK, are listed on the korean flashcards hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference between 귤 and 오렌지?

귤 is a small, easy-peel citrus, often a winter fruit. 오렌지 is a loanword for the larger orange, and the lesson table describes it as usually imported. Both appear in this deck, so you can compare their cards side by side.

How Do I Say Apple Juice?

Say 사과 주스. The fruit name comes first and 주스 (juice) follows, in the same way that 오렌지 주스 means orange juice. The drinks flashcards cover more juice and tea words.

Are 과일 and 채소 Plural?

Korean does not mark plural on these nouns, so 과일 means fruit or fruits and 채소 means vegetable or vegetables. The context or a counter shows how many, as in 과일 두 개.

Is 고추 Safe to Say?

Yes, 고추 is the chili pepper and the card is fine to learn. In child speech the word can also refer to a boy's body part, so listeners may smile in some settings.

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.
