Korean Money Vocabulary Flashcards: 27 Cards with Audio and Notes

Korean Money Vocabulary Flashcards: Study the 27 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 27-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 27 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 bank, card and cash vocabulary for everyday money tasks. Shop prices and bargaining are in the korean shopping vocabulary flashcards, and phone and app words are in the korean technology vocabulary flashcards. The topic lesson is money and banking in korean.

What Is Left out of This Deck?

The deck has 27 cards for everyday money tasks. It does not teach prices in shops, tax terms or investment words, and it is not financial advice. Bank forms and fees differ by bank, so ask the clerk. All Korean text is generated, and Min-ji Park reviewed and signed off the text and audio on 15 October 2026.

All 27 Cards in One Table

All 27 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 3 cards whose sound differs from their spelling.

Usage Notes for These Cards

Opening an account. Open an account with 계좌를 만들다 (to make an account); a 통장 is the passbook that goes with it.

Cash in and out. Cash is taken out with 돈을 찾다 (to find, that is, withdraw) and put in with 돈을 넣다: 돈을 찾고 싶어요 (I want to withdraw money).

Sending money. 송금하다 is the word for sending money to an account: 친구에게 송금했어요 (I sent money to a friend).

Borrow and lend. 빌리다 means to borrow and 빌려 주다 means to lend, so direction matters: 돈을 빌려 주세요 (Please lend me money).

Big amounts. Amounts of 10,000 start with 만 without 일: 만 원 (10,000 won), 십만 원 (100,000 won).

Which Sounds Do Not Match the Spelling?

환율 is said [화뉼]: 율 starts with a silent ㅇ, so the ㄴ of 환 links to its vowel. RR writes hwanyul.

갚다 is said [갑따]: ㅍ neutralizes to ㅂ and the ㄷ is tensified.

입금하다 is said [입끔하다]: the ㄱ after a ㅂ final is tensified.

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

What Mistakes Do Learners Make with Money Vocabulary?

• Using 빌리다 for lend. Lend is 빌려 주다.
• Saying 일만 원. The normal form is 만 원.
• Saying 카드를 계산하다. Say 카드로 계산하다.

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
