Why should you use the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck?
Practice the Korean B1 Vocabulary
The Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck has 1818 flashcards. These flashcards contain every single concept that you need to know! This means you have a tremendous amount of exercises. The best part is that the exercises will adapt to your performance, creating a personalized practice experience.
This gives you a tailor-made practice deck. You will be able to practice every single facet of Korean B1 vocabulary.
Improve your Korean comprehension and pronunciation
All of the flashcards in the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck have audio files. Each word is accompanied by two audio files: one for the sentence it’s in and another for the word itself.
This means that you will know how the words and sentences are supposed to sound in Korean. This will greatly improve your Korean comprehension. Moreover, because you hear the audio, you also improve your own pronunciation.
Additionally, for further clarity, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is provided for all words and sentences. This means that you can check pronunciation whenever needed.

Why is it so important to use Anki?
Have you ever studied for an exam and then forgotten everything a few days after the exam? It is a feeling that most of us experience.
In fact, according to Art Kohn Ph.D, a professor at Duke University, within 24 hours most of us forget an average of 70% of new information.
Often this would not be a problem. However, when it comes to language this can become a huge issue. Learning vocabulary and grammar to then forget them later on would be a disaster!
Anki prevents this from happening and ensures that you remember what you study. Let’s take a look at the 3 reasons why Anki is so effective.
Active recall
Active recall means that Anki asks you a question and you have to remember the answer. This is more powerful than passive learning and improves your memory.
When you retrieve information from your brain, you strengthen your ability to retain information and create connections in your brain between different concepts.
Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition introduces new concepts in batches to you. A flashcard appears and if you know the answer the flashcard moves to the next batch. This batch will be shown to you at a later time. The more often you answer correctly the later the intervals become.
However, should you answer wrongly, the flashcard moves to the first batch again, and you will see it more often.
This system finds its origins in the spacing effect. The spacing effect illustrates how people learn better if reviews are spread out over time.
Ease
Anki takes care of all your scheduling. There’s no need to calculate when you need to practice which cards. Furthermore, Anki is available on both iOS and Android users, so you can download it on your smartphone and use it wherever you are.
Card Structure of the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck
All words in the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck are used in sentences to help you learn them in context. Each flashcard includes an image, IPA notation, and an audio file.
The image allows you to create a better memory with the word/concept that you are studying. You are linking a concept with a certain image.
The IPA notation is so you can know exactly how something is pronounced and be able to repeat that pronunciation yourself.
The audio file allows you to understand how something is pronounced in Korean. This will help you to improve your Korean comprehension.
Here is an extract, so you can hear what the audio sounds like in the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck. The IPA notation has been added too. There is also audio for the words and the plural versions of those words.
There are 2 card types in the Korean B1 Vocabulary Anki Deck.
Conjugate/Fill in the blank
On the front side, you will find a sentence in both Korean and English. This is accompanied by an image that shows the context of the sentence. In the Korean sentence, the word you need to know is missing and represented as underscores. In the English sentence, the word you need to know is bolded and underlined. You should determine what belongs in place of the underscores.
On the back, you will see the full Korean sentence with the target word highlighted in indigo, so you can immediately spot the answer. Below that you will find the IPA transcription of the sentence, the English translation, and an audio file of the sentence.
For verbs and adjectives, the card shows two forms of the word:
The polite form (해요체) comes first, as this is the form you will actually use in everyday conversation.
The dictionary form (-다) comes second, as this is the form used in dictionaries and grammar references.
Each form is accompanied by its IPA transcription, English translation, and audio file, so you can hear exactly how each form sounds.
For nouns and adverbs, only the dictionary form is shown, as these words do not conjugate.
Where applicable, the hanja (Chinese characters) of the word is shown at the bottom, giving insight into the word’s origin and meaning.
Type the correct Korean word (optional)
This is the same as the first card, however in this one, you have to type the correct word. You will see if you made any errors, or if you were correct.
This helps improve your writing skills in Korean.
