Here is just a quick recap of all of the ‘A’ vocab words (~1000 most common words) that I have learned from the Korean Essential 6000 words. They are listed in Korean alphabetical order.

노란색 = yellow (yes, for some reason I learned weird words like 독학 but I still don’t know my colors ㅋㅋㅋ)
마흔 = 40 (korean rooted), used mostly for hours or age (though I think even Koreans stop using the Korean rooted numbers after a while, it’s a lot easier to use the Chinese rooted numbers)
못하다 = to be inferior / below (someone)
못하다 = to be impossible
서른 = 30 (Korean rooted)
세수하다 = to wash one’s face
수건 = towel
수박 = watermelon
