Romanisation is not the pronunciation itself
Latin letters invite the sound habits of languages you already know. Listen to the recording rather than relying on those habits. As Hangul syllable blocks become familiar, try to reach the word directly through the Korean writing.
Check the level of politeness
Korean expressions depend on the relationship and situation. Hearing a phrase in a drama does not make it appropriate for every person. Pay attention to the register, especially with everyday expressions.
A small practice example
Match the Hangul to its meaning, then retrieve the Korean word from that meaning. Listen and repeat without treating the Latin spelling as a complete pronunciation guide.

Do Vocabee levels give me a TOPIK score?
No. A1–C2 bands organise this vocabulary course; they are not an official TOPIK score or exam result. If TOPIK is your goal, prepare separately for its format and wider skill requirements.
What should accompany card practice?
Add short readings, listening and actual conversations. Finding the correct answer on a card does not mean you can use the word in every context. Check the meaning first, then try to retrieve it independently after a break.
