This set covers 24 places in a Korean town that you will visit or hear about every day: school, hospital, pharmacy, bank, market, cafe and more. You will use them when asking for directions, making plans with friends, reading maps, or taking a taxi. Most place words end in a short part that tells you the type of place, such as -관 for a hall, -점 for a shop, and -소 for an office or station, so learning one word helps you guess others. A cultural note: pharmacies are everywhere and often sit right next to clinics, and convenience stores and cafes stay open late. Look at each picture, say the place out loud, and then make a sentence about where you go today.

Ms. Hana

Make a short route sentence every day, like going from home to a cafe. Real places stick better than lists.
