How to use
- CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets and Numbers (UTF-8, so Korean letters display correctly). Columns: Korean, part of speech, English, Vietnamese, Japanese, example (Korean and English), level.
- Anki: File → Import → choose the .txt file. Front is the Korean word; back is the meanings and the example. Column 3 becomes a tag (the level). Make sure “Allow HTML in fields” is on if Anki asks.
