Vocabulary lists from the National Academy of the Korean Language

Reader Eric Y. Cho recently asked for the National Academy of the Korean Language (NAKL) vocabulary lists previously available at Oranckay’s place.

I have now made them available here at kangmi as .zip files in either Excel or text format.

Further information may be found at Let’s Learn Korean.

These lists are also available for download at the NAKL site, but I’ve saved some of you five minutes and others much longer.

Good job. I'd make them available at my site too, but as far as I know, I don't have the capability to store files. I've been working on and off--and on again now--with trying to develop a rudimentary online dictionary based on the NAKL vocab list...just debating whether to restrict myself to the 3,000 A- and B-class words (which even at 3,000 entries leave out a lot of commonly used words) or do all 5,900 entries, which means it'll take forever to finish the task.

Oh, is that the frequency list you've uploaded? I'd recommend also uploading the "Basic Vocabulary List for Studying Korean," (한국어 학습용 기초 어휘 목록) which the NAKL published around the same time. Much more useful than the frequency list.

There are links to the NAKL pages for the Excel, text, and Arae-A Hangul versions of the file at the top post on my blog (http://21cseonbi.blogspot.com/2006/08/korean-vocabulary-list.html)—see 2nd para of intro and footnote 1. I also mentioned the list on the "Let's Learn Korean" page you link to above.

It's up to you whether to upload those files or not, but to my mind, they're much more useful to Korean learners than the straight-out frequency list. Anyhow, both are useful resources.

Thanks for the tip. I finally got around to downloading it (only the Excel download is available), and I'll try to get it up this evening.

I know English, German, Spanish & some hebrew. I tried learning Korean and it was really hard for me.
