Essential TOPIK 1 Vocabulary (Free PDF)
If you are preparing for TOPIK 1, building a strong vocabulary foundation is one of the most important steps. Grammar helps you connect ideas, but without enough words, you cannot make sentences or understand the exam questions.
To support beginner learners, we have created a Free PDF with 50 essential TOPIK 1 vocabulary words. This resource is designed to help you review words, learn their meanings, and see how they are used in simple Korean sentences.
Why Vocabulary Matters in TOPIK 1
The TOPIK 1 exam (Level 1–2) focuses on everyday life Korean. In the reading and listening sections, you will find short sentences, daily conversations, and simple announcements.
To answer questions correctly, you need to recognize basic verbs, adjectives, and nouns quickly.
For example:
- In the listening section, you may hear someone say “물을 마셔요.” (I drink water). If you don’t know the verb 마시다, you cannot understand the meaning.
- In the reading section, you may see a short text with actions like “사다, 팔다, 쓰다, 읽다.” Without knowing these words, it is difficult to answer correctly.
That is why reviewing a clear list of beginner words is so useful for exam preparation.
