A Korean-to-English dictionary combined with its CSV-to-JSON converter.
WIP (Work in Progress) — The converter is fully functional and ready, while the dictionary data is currently a minimal Proof of Concept (PoC).
- Any modern browser or edge runtime with ES6 support
- Bun (for dependency management and tooling)
- Make (for running build and test tasks)
- Perl 5.36+ (for running tool scripts)
- Carton (for managing tool script dependencies)
$ cd path/to/kr-dict
$ carton installRun make and locate the compiled artifact in the dist/ directory.
To compile the dictionary, run:
$ makeThen start the interactive flashcard‑style quiz:
$ ./bin/kr-dict-quizYou can also limit the quiz to a specific part of speech (PoS). For example, to practice only nouns:
$ ./bin/kr-dict-quiz nounSpecial thanks to the National Institute of Korean Language (국립국어원) for providing the original vocabulary list (한국어 학습용 어휘 목록).
We keep our dictionary in data/kr-en.csv. At the moment it’s intentionally minimal, serving as a proof of concept. Contributors are warmly invited to expand the lexicon—especially with entries drawn from beginner‑level Korean learning materials.
👉 No coding required: If you can read and edit a CSV file, you’re already able to contribute.
