Korean Family Words Worksheet: Free Printable PDF with Answer Key

Download the Korean Family Words Worksheet

Choose A4 or US Letter on the card. Print the three exercise pages together and the key page separately. The PDF is available in A4 and US Letter from the download card. For practice, this page describes every item, so you can copy the exercises onto lined paper and still use the answer notes below.

What Is on Each Page?

Each page practises one decision. Page 1 is about spelling the words, page 2 is about choosing the right sibling word for the speaker, and page 3 widens the topic to people's jobs and bodies. The tree is drawn from a man's point of view, and page 2 gives the woman's words.

Page 1: Label the Family Tree

Page 1 shows a simple family tree with twelve numbered boxes. Each box has an English label, such as "father" or "mother's sister". You write the Korean word in the box, using the word bank at the top of the page. Boxes 1 and 2 are dotted models that you trace first. The word bank is below, with Revised Romanization (RR) as a guide.

One word in this bank changes its sound in speech. 할아버지 is said [하라버지], because the final ㄹ of 할 moves onto the vowel of 아. The spelling stays the same. Parents come in two registers: 아버지 and 어머니 are the careful words, while 아빠 and 엄마 are the warm everyday ones. The sheet uses the careful pair, and the korean family words flashcards deck has both.

Page 2: Who Says What?

Page 2 is about the four words for older siblings. Korean picks the word by the speaker, not by the family tree. A man says 형 for his older brother and 누나 for his older sister. A woman says 오빠 for her older brother and 언니 for her older sister.

The sheet gives eight prompts such as "A woman talks about her older brother", and you write the right word. Younger siblings are simpler: 동생 (dongsaeng) works for either speaker, and 남동생 and 여동생 add the sex. The same four older-sibling words are also used for friends. A woman may call a close older man 오빠, and a man may call a close older man 형.

The second half of the page turns the words into sentences with the pattern 저는 ___ 이/가 있어요 (I have ___). The subject particle depends on the last sound of the word.

Page 3: Jobs, Body Parts and a Family Sentence

Page 3 widens the topic from family to people. Part A has eight jobs to match with English, and part B has six body parts. You write the letter of the English meaning next to each Korean word.

Part C is a short writing task. Finish 우리 가족은 ___ 명이에요 with a native number before the counter 명, such as 세 (three) or 네 (four). Then finish 저는 ___이에요/예요 with your own job or 학생. After a consonant use 이에요, as in 학생이에요. After a vowel use 예요, as in 의사예요. The counter 명 is explained in the myeong counter lesson.

The Answer Key

The key is a separate last page, so you can print it apart from the exercises. It lists the word for each of the twelve tree boxes, the speaker word for each page 2 prompt, the full sentences, and the letter for each match on page 3. The two sentences in part C are personal answers, so they are not in the key.

How Do I Use This Sheet?

Plan 30 to 40 minutes, or split the sheet over two days: pages 1 and 2 first, then page 3.

1. Use your own family. Before you start, sketch your real family on the back of the sheet and note which Korean word fits each person. Checkpoint: you can name every person in your sketch.
2. Mark the speaker words in two colours. Use one colour for 형 and 누나 (a man speaking) and another for 오빠 and 언니 (a woman speaking). The colours show the pattern at a glance.
3. Say each word aloud as you write it. For 할아버지, say [하라버지], not "hal-a-beo-ji" with a pause.
4. Do page 3 last. The jobs and body parts are separate vocabulary, so they should not interrupt the family words.
5. Check the key at the end. Rewrite any wrong word three times, then try the Korean family members quiz the next day.

If your family tree has a word the sheet does not teach, such as a mother's brother or a husband's parents, look it up in the korean family words lesson and add it in the margin.

How Should I Check My Answers?

Check pages 1 and 3 by exact match, then page 2 by asking who is speaking. If you wrote 오빠 where the key says 형, the speaker is the clue: a man says 형. Rewrite the whole phrase after a mistake, including the particle, so the right pair stays in memory.

Print Settings

Print at 100 percent scale in black and white, on A4 or US Letter, with 12 mm margins that leave room for a hole punch. Turn off fit-to-page, because scaling shrinks the writing boxes. Use a pencil for page 1, since the tree boxes are small and you may want to change an answer. Keep the key page apart if you share the sheet with a class.

Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing 오빠 and 형. The word follows the speaker. A woman cannot call her brother 형, and a man cannot call his brother 오빠.
• Using 엄마 in a formal setting. With a teacher, a boss or in a formal letter, say 어머니 for your mother. 엄마 is for family and close friends.
• Choosing the wrong particle. Write 형이, not 형가, and 언니가, not 언니이. The particle depends on whether the word ends in a consonant or a vowel.
• Reading 할아버지 letter by letter. It is said [하라버지], with the ㄹ moving across to the next syllable.

Most errors on this sheet come from page 2, which is why it has the most prompts.

What This Worksheet Does Not Cover

The sheet covers twelve core family words, eight jobs and six body parts. It does not cover in-law words such as 시어머니, grandparents on the mother's side such as 외할머니, or the honorific suffix 님 beyond 선생님. Learn those in the in-laws lesson and the paternal and maternal relatives lesson. The sheet is hand practice, so it does not teach how to call someone out loud.

What Should I Practice Next?

After the sheet, drill the same words on screen with the korean family words flashcards, and read the korean words for people hub for the wider topic. The Korean jobs lesson and the Korean body parts lesson go deeper into page 3. Find more sheets in the Korean vocabulary worksheets collection, and continue with the Korean daily life vocabulary worksheet. To practise letter shapes first, use the Korean handwriting practice sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Family Words Are on the Worksheet?

Twelve: 가족, 할아버지, 할머니, 아버지, 어머니, 삼촌, 이모, 형, 누나, 남동생, 여동생 and 사촌. Page 2 adds 오빠, 언니 and 동생. Page 3 adds eight jobs and six body parts. The words 엄마 and 아빠 appear only as a note on page 1.

Is There a Family Tree to Label?

Yes. Page 1 is a family tree with twelve numbered boxes, each with an English label. You write the Korean word from a word bank. The sibling boxes are labelled for a man speaking, and page 2 gives the matching words for a woman, so both speakers practise.

Can I Use It If I Am a Woman?

Yes. On page 1, write 오빠 and 언니 in the two older-sibling boxes instead of 형 and 누나, then check page 2 for the explanation. The key lists both versions, so you can mark your own page correctly.

Is It Suitable for Children?

The wording is plain and the topic is everyday, so older children can use it with an adult. There are no cartoons, and the exercises are short. For a younger learner, do one page per day and say each word aloud together.

Is Audio Linked?

The printed PDF has no audio. This page has play buttons for five model items, and the family words flashcards deck has a clip for every card. Hear the model, say it, then write it.

May I Use These Worksheets in Class?

Free for personal and classroom use. Teachers may print copies for their students. No reselling or republishing online.
