One thing I notice as I look through the words: Without examples, many of these are

not really usable. I am thinking of many that I know, and as I think of usage, I think

that with the listing and the definitions given here, I would never be able to use

those words, nor recognize the meaning when I read them. I can recognize them in

the list because I know the usage of he word.

Has anybody produced this list with usages?

Did you really expect to learn Korean but put not know how too read it? You

could probably learn the whole alphabet in a week since its pretty easy.

Thank you for this list. I want to study the hanja also, but its a pain to look up everyword I suspect is of Chinese origin Is there a version of this list that also shows the

hanja? There was one on ezcorean.com, but that site doesnt exist anymore.

Is there a difference between theentries of 2 and 5 or the

entries at 68 and 69? I cant tell if there are different

uses/definitions that lead to the separate entries.
