  • Hello!

    Thanks you for those words…It is really a great document for whom are practicing TOPIK test.
    But I see the sixth part stopped at 5666th words, so there is no words from 5667-6000, isn’t it?

    • Hi Phanlan…
      Yes, Some of the words in the list were redundant or were not making much sense..
      I think they have removed it…

  • Thanks so much for the guidance and special thanks to Satish…I too am from JNU 96 batch. It’s heartening to know JNU grad contributing to it. Absolute quality work…

  • I couldn’t help noticing that there are some errors on the list. I was doing a self test on myself and started reading the list from the end. I noticed lines 5646 (고구려 Region surrounding seoul) and 5647 (고려 Region surrounding seoul) .. so these are historical dynasties, right? So you might wanna check this list for errors .. 8D
