What are good, fun vocabulary sites?
I am learning Korean, and I really need to acquire new vocabulary words.

I know about www.wordshowers.com, and I'm happy it's there, but it's very boring to sit and repeat/copy words down. It's easier to memorize words if you match them or use them in context, rather than raw vocab., like wordshowers. It is a great help to finding words specifically, though ^^.

So if anyone has anything where you can do activities for you to remember the words effectively, I'd greatly appreciate it!

(I can read Korean, so it does not have to be in romanization)

Anything is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Answer

I think the best way to use wordshower is to download those MP3 files. ^^ 
You'd like this site. www.teenkorean.com It was originally made for overseas Koreans but it's became a website for Korean learners and teachers, I also often visit there. You can use it after signning up for this site. I recommend you to click [Student], you can see all fun stuff then.

Answer

If you learn Korean for business, TOEIC books would be good. If not, you can consider several points. The Korean words in TOEIC books are likely to be more than two words in order to make English learners to get the meaning clearly. And those words are usually very formal or at least not often used in daily life. It's not strange, TOEIC is the test to measure the ability of non-native English-speaking examinees to use English in everyday workplace activities. In my opinion, these books are recommendable for Advanced Korean learners.

Answer

hi hailey..
thanks for the info about the site. at first glance, it looks promising. i'll see the content in member area later.

this other method can also furnish your korean glossaries though i'm not 100% convinced about the effectivity. i sometimes use TOEIC books to get new vocabularies. yep, the books use korean to explain terms in english.
