Korean Ingredients Flashcards: 29 Cards with Audio and Notes

Korean Ingredients Flashcards: Study the 29 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 29-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 29 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 meat, seafood, grains, staples and the core Korean seasonings. Finished dishes are in the korean food flashcards, and fruit and vegetables are in the korean fruits and vegetables flashcards. The topic lesson is ingredients in korean.

What Is Left out of This Deck?

The deck has 29 cards, so it leaves out many cuts of meat, the full range of fish, dried seaweed and the fermented fish sauces. It does not teach recipes or measurements. A variant spelling such as 쇠고기 is not carded. All Korean text is generated, and Min-ji Park reviewed and signed off the text and audio on 15 October 2026.

All 29 Cards in One Table

All 29 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 sound of the word, which is why some spellings change. 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

Meat names add 고기. 소고기 (beef), 돼지고기 (pork), 닭고기 (chicken).

Rice. 쌀 is raw rice and 밥 is cooked rice, and the two are not interchangeable: 쌀을 씻어요 (I rinse the rice).

Sauces. 장 words are fermented sauces: 간장, 된장, 고추장.

Powder. 가루 means powder, so 고춧가루 is chili powder and 밀가루 is wheat flour.

Eggs. Eggs are 달걀 or 계란 and count with 개: 달걀 두 개 (two eggs).

Which Sounds Do Not Match the Spelling?

닭고기 is said [닥꼬기]: the cluster in 닭 is read as ㄱ and the next ㄱ is tensified.

고춧가루 is said [고추까루]: the ㅅ linking the compound is realised as tension on the next syllable. RR writes the ㅅ as t: gochutgaru.

식용유 is said [시굥뉴]: the ㄱ links to the next vowel and a ㄴ is inserted before 유.

밀가루 is said [밀까루]: the ㄱ of 가루 is tense in this compound, although the spelling does not show it.

These forms follow the 국립국어원 standard pronunciation rules (표준 발음법).

What Mistakes Do Learners Make with Ingredients?

• Using 쌀 to mean cooked rice. Say 밥.
• Confusing 고추 (chili pepper) with 후추 (black pepper).
• Using 물고기 for fish you eat. 생선 is the food word.

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

Fermented sauces such as 된장, 간장 and 고추장 are the base of Korean cooking, and in traditional homes they were stored in large clay jars.

Next Steps after This Deck

The words and letters on these cards are explained in the korean ingredients vocabulary 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 fruits and vegetables flashcards to keep the same routine. If a word here still feels shaky, go back to korean food flashcards for the earlier material. After a session, write the same words by hand with the korean food vocabulary worksheet. All flashcard decks, including Hangul, vocabulary, phrases, grammar and TOPIK, are listed on the korean flashcards hub.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 달걀 or 계란 More Common?

Both are used. 달걀 is the native word, and 계란 is the Sino-Korean word that appears often in shops and recipes. Learn both, since both cards are in this deck.

Is 참기름 the Same as Sesame Seeds?

No. 참기름 is the oil, and 깨 are the seeds. The two cards sit near each other so you can compare them.

What Is 김?

김 is dried seaweed sheets, as in 김밥. It is outside this 29-card deck, which stays with meat, grains and seasonings.

How Do You Ask for No Garlic?

Say 마늘 빼 주세요, which means Please leave out the garlic. 마늘 is in the fruits and vegetables deck, and 빼다 means to take out.

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.
