Today's Korean, freshly served

One word, one proverb and three questions, every day

Every day at midnight your time, the page serves a new word with its meaning and a real example, a proverb with the situation it belongs to, and three quick questions. It is the smallest useful unit of study — the size that fits between two meetings.

It also adds up. The archive behind this page is the site's longest running thread of new material: each entry is a fresh piece of vocabulary in context, and each one links into the dictionary where the full entry lives.

• Answer the three questions before looking anything up. Getting it wrong first is how it sticks.
• Say the new word out loud once. Just once.
• One proverb a day is 365 idioms a year — most learners never learn a hundred.
• Come back to yesterday's entry a week later. That is where the forgetting happens.
