What's inside

3 picture word searches, one for each level: Fruit (across and down), Colors (diagonals too) and Feelings (sound it out and write the Hangul yourself)
36 beginner words, each with a picture, the Korean, the romanization and the English
A two-page Hangul chart: every consonant and vowel with an example word and picture
A how-to page with Rangi the tiger, the answer keys for all three puzzles

Say each word out loud three times as you circle it. A puzzle a day is about 12 new words, and the pictures make them stick.

How to use it

Print the two chart pages once and keep them beside you. Letter and A4 both come in the download.
Start with Fruit: look at the picture, find the Korean word in the grid, circle it and say it out loud.
For Feelings, only the sounds are given: use the chart to work out the Hangul, find it, then write it in the boxes.
