🌈 The Big Picture

Take a second to look back at how far you've come. Your first 50 words covered the people and things closest to you β€” family members, jobs, friends, body parts, age, food, drinks, places around town, time words, and a big batch of everyday adjectives and verbs.
Your second 50 words pushed outward into the practical world: ordering food and asking for a refill, shopping and handling money, fixing or returning broken things, finding your way through subway transfers and crosswalks, taking care of yourself with skincare and hygiene items, keeping a home running, and β€” just as importantly β€” the small grammar words (은/λŠ”, 이/κ°€, 을/λ₯Ό) and adverbs (빨리, 천천히, 맀우, 쑰금) that hold every sentence together.
That's 100 words that work as a real toolkit. You can describe people, navigate a city, shop, cook, clean, make plans, and react to almost anything that happens in a normal day.

πŸ—‚οΈ The Final 22: Categories You've Mastered Since the Checkpoint

  • Dining & Tableware β€” μˆ˜μ € (spoon & chopsticks set), 양념 (seasoning), 포μž₯ (takeout/wrapping), ꡬ이 (grilled dish)
  • Shopping & Money β€” 영수증 (receipt), μ‡Όν•‘λ°± (shopping bag), ν—λ ν•˜λ‹€ (loose), κ³ μž₯ (broken)
  • Personal Care & Items β€” 지갑 (wallet), μ†μ†Œλ…μ œ (hand sanitizer), 마슀크 (mask), λ¦½μŠ€ν‹± (lipstick)
  • Getting Around β€” νš‘λ‹¨λ³΄λ„ (crosswalk), ν™˜μŠΉ (transfer), 계단 (stairs)
  • Home Life β€” 냉μž₯κ³  (fridge), 빨래 (laundry)
  • Social & Practical Life β€” μ•ˆμ „ (safety), 인사 (greeting), λ™λ£Œ (colleague), 약속 (promise/appointment)
  • Grammar Essentials β€” 은/λŠ” vs 이/κ°€ vs 을/λ₯Ό (topic, subject, object particles), 빨리/천천히/맀우/쑰금 (speed and degree adverbs)

🧠 Mixed Review Sentence

ν™˜μŠΉμ—­μ—μ„œ 길을 μžƒμ–΄λ²„λ €μ„œ 도움을 μš”μ²­ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, μΉœμ ˆν•œ 뢄이 빨래방 근처 νŽΈμ˜μ κΉŒμ§€ 천천히 μ•ˆλ‚΄ν•΄ μ£Όμ…¨μ–΄μš”. κ±°κΈ°μ„œ μ†μ†Œλ…μ œμ™€ 마슀크λ₯Ό 사고 μ˜μˆ˜μ¦μ„ λ°›μ•„ 지갑에 λ„£μ—ˆμ–΄μš”.
(I got lost at the transfer station, so I asked for help, and a kind person slowly guided me to a convenience store near the laundromat. There I bought hand sanitizer and a mask, and put the receipt in my wallet.)
This one sentence pulls from seven categories at once: Getting Around (ν™˜μŠΉ), Social & Practical Life (도움), Home Life (빨래), Grammar Essentials (천천히), Personal Care (μ†μ†Œλ…μ œ, 마슀크), Shopping & Money (영수증), and Personal Items (지갑). If you can read this sentence and follow the story, your first 100 words are working together.

πŸ“š Cross-check note

If you ever want to double-check a definition or see more example sentences for any of these 100 words, the ꡭ립ꡭ어원 ν‘œμ€€κ΅­μ–΄λŒ€μ‚¬μ „ (National Institute of Korean Language's Standard Korean Dictionary) is the most reliable free reference.

πŸͺž Reflecting on Your Journey

  • You started with words for the people around you β€” and now you can talk about strangers, colleagues, and acquaintances too.
  • You learned to describe how things look and feel (μ˜ˆμ˜λ‹€, 무겁닀, ν—λ ν•˜λ‹€) β€” try using three of these in one sentence about something in your room right now.
  • The grammar words (은/λŠ”, 이/κ°€, 을/λ₯Ό) are the easiest to forget because they're "invisible" β€” but they're also the most important. Review them often.
  • Try a 5-minute "no English" challenge: describe your morning routine out loud using only words from this list.

Quick recap of your last 22 words:
μˆ˜μ €, 양념, 포μž₯, ꡬ이, 영수증, μ‡Όν•‘λ°±, ν—λ ν•˜λ‹€, κ³ μž₯, 지갑, μ†μ†Œλ…μ œ, λ¦½μŠ€ν‹±, νš‘λ‹¨λ³΄λ„, ν™˜μŠΉ, 계단, 냉μž₯κ³ , 빨래, μ•ˆμ „, 인사, λ™λ£Œ, μž₯μ†Œ, 약속, 천천히
πŸ’‘
Pitfalls Reminder
  • ν™˜μŠΉ (transfer between lines) vs κ°ˆμ•„νƒ€λ‹€ (to change/transfer vehicles) β€” ν™˜μŠΉ is the noun for the system, κ°ˆμ•„νƒ€λ‹€ is the action you do.
  • ν—λ ν•˜λ‹€ (loose) vs λŠμŠ¨ν•˜λ‹€ (loose/slack, for ropes or schedules) β€” use ν—λ ν•˜λ‹€ for clothes.
  • 은/λŠ” (topic) vs 이/κ°€ (subject) β€” 은/λŠ” introduces or contrasts a topic; 이/κ°€ marks the grammatical subject of new information.
  • 빨리 (quickly, can sound urgent) vs 천천히 (slowly, calm) β€” tone matters in requests.
