FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about the Korean Typing Speed Test.
What does the Korean Typing Speed Test do?
It shows a random Korean passage in Revised Romanization — everyday lines on Easy up to Hard ones with a date, a price and a phone number — and measures your words per minute and accuracy until you finish or the timer runs out.
Why romanized Korean instead of native Hangul?
This test shows Korean typed by entering Revised Romanization, which an input method converts into Hangul — a space-separated form that fits this test's word-by-word scrolling, though many Korean typists normally type directly on a native Hangul keyboard layout instead.
Does this test measure real Hangul-keyboard typing speed?
Not directly — it measures how fast and accurately you can type the romanized form of a Korean passage, which is a different skill from typing on a native Hangul keyboard layout.
Which romanization system is used?
The Revised Romanization of Korean, the official system in South Korea since 2000 and the one used on road signs — 빨리 is written ppalli.
Why are some words hyphenated, like sopa-eseo?
The hyphen separates a loanword or number from the particle attached to it, as in sopa-eseo ("on the sofa") and 5-il ("the 5th"). Type the hyphen as shown.
Do I need a Korean keyboard?
No. Everything is typed with ordinary Latin keys, so any keyboard works without switching to a Korean input method.
Why are some words so long?
Romanized Korean joins a word's syllables together, so a single word like bangbeobimnida (방법입니다) becomes a long run of letters. Take it steadily — accuracy counts as much as speed.
