In this lesson, you will learn five common Hanja characters that I couldn’t find a place for in Unit 4. I always prioritize looking for example words for you that use Hanja characters that you already know. Now that you are about to finish Unit 4, you know 400 Hanja characters! This means that it gets easier for me to find words that you know entirely in Hanja. In this lesson, there are 31 example words presented, and you know every character in every word except for one character!
