What's Your Favorite Ghibli Movie? | Korean Vocabulary List

We all love Ghibli movies. And probably everyone has that one movie which they feel particularly pulled towards or which has the most (nostalgic..?) sentiment for them.

Being led by my own personal nostalgic sentiments, I've been meaning to rewatch ‘Nausicaa From the Valley of the Wind’ but this time dubbed/subbed in Korean. I thought knowing the plot beforehand would be more effective for language learning than jumping straight into a movie I haven't previously watched and familiarized myself with. When I was trying to search it up on the internet, I figured it will surely have '나우시카' somewhere in the title but had no clue as for the rest of it... Thankfully, the search engine algorithms are indeed very smart and helped me find what I was searching for anyways haha.

Yeah, well, and later here I am thanks to my curiosity to know every single title of Ghibli movies in Korean 😸 Half of them are pretty straight-forward and intuitive while another half offers some good new vocab 😼 Most importantly – now you'll know how to say in Korean which Ghibli movie is your favorite!

I didn’t translate names, grammar points nor repeating words twice. However, I did add literal translations when the title differs from the English one.
