I usually search tumblr for vocabulary lists like this! In the future, you can add tumblr to your searches on google to find more vocab lists that you may be looking for.


 

Hopefully this post helped you out a bit! I have more vocabulary lists on Koreanstudyjunkie.com/blog if you're looking for more.
