Question: When might a Taekwondo student be asked what certain Korean words are?
About the article "Taekwondo", section "Korean commands".

In taekwondo, Korean language commands are often used.
Korean numerals may be used as prompts or commands, or for counting repetition exercises.
Often, students count in Korean during their class, and during tests they are usually asked what certain Korean words mean.
These words are fairly common amongst taekwondo schools, but accuracy of pronunciation can vary widely.
Taekwondo ranks are typically separated into "junior" and "senior," or "student" and "instructor," sections.
The junior section typically consists of ten ranks indicated by the Korean word "geup" 급 (also Romanized as "gup" or "kup").
The junior ranks are usually identified by belts of various colors, depending on the school, so these ranks are sometimes called "color belts".
"Geup" rank may be indicated by stripes on belts rather than by colored belts.
Students begin at tenth "geup" (often indicated by a white belt) and advance toward first "geup" (often indicated by a red belt with a white or black stripe).
The senior section is typically made up of nine ranks.
Each rank is called a "dan" 단, also referred to as "black belt" or "degree" (as in "third "dan"" or "third-degree black belt").
Black belts begin at first degree and advance to second, third, and so on.
The degree is often indicated on the belt itself with stripes, Roman numerals, or other methods, but sometimes black belts are plain and unadorned regardless of rank.
To advance from one rank to the next, students typically complete "promotion tests" in which they demonstrate their proficiency in the various aspects of the art before their teacher or a panel of judges.
Promotion tests vary from school to school, but may include such elements as the execution of patterns, which combine various techniques in specific sequences; the breaking of boards to demonstrate the ability to use techniques with both power and control; sparring and self-defense to demonstrate the practical application and control of techniques; physical fitness usually with push-ups and sit-ups; and answering questions on terminology, concepts, and history to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the art.
For higher "dan" tests, students are sometimes required to take a written test or submit a research paper in addition to taking the practical test.
Promotion from one "geup" to the next can proceed rapidly in some schools, since schools often allow "geup" promotions every two, three, or four months.
Students of "geup" rank learn the most basic techniques first, and then move on to more advanced techniques as they approach first "dan".
Many of the older and more traditional schools often take longer to allow students to test for higher ranks than newer, more contemporary schools, as they may not have the required testing intervals.
In contrast, promotion from one "dan" to the next can take years.
The general rule is that a black belt may advance from one rank to the next only after the number of years equivalent to their current rank.
For example, a newly promoted third-degree black belt may not be allowed to advance to fourth-degree until three years have passed.
Some organizations also have age requirements related to "dan" promotions, and may grant younger students "poom" 품 (junior black belt) ranks rather than "dan" ranks until they reach a certain age.
Black belt ranks may have titles associated with them, such as "master" and "instructor", but taekwondo organizations vary widely in rules and standards when it comes to ranks and titles.
What holds true in one organization may not hold true in another, as is the case in many martial art systems.
For example, achieving first "dan" ranking with three years' training might be typical in one organization, but considered too quick in another organization, and likewise for other ranks.
Similarly, the title for a given "dan" rank in one organization might not be the same as the title for that "dan" rank in another organization.
In the International Taekwon-Do Federation, instructors holding 1st to 3rd "dan" are called "Boosabum" (assistant instructor), those holding 4th to 6th "dan" are called "Sabum" (instructor), those holding 7th to 8th "dan" are called "Sahyun" (master), and those holding 9th "dan" are called "Saseong" (grandmaster).
This system does not, however, necessarily apply to other taekwondo organizations. 
To restore national identity after the protracted occupation of Korea by Japanese forces, the Korean government ordered a single organization to be created.
On September 16, 1961, most kwans agreed to unify under the name "Korea Tae Soo Do Association".
The name was changed back to the "Korea Taekwondo Association" when General Choi became its president in August 1965.
Despite this unification effort, the kwans continued to teach their individual styles.
Hwang Kee and a large constituent of the Moo Duk Kwan continued to develop a version of Tang Soo Do that eventually became what is now known as "Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan".
This modified version of Tang Soo Do incorporates more fluid "soft" movements reminiscent of certain traditional Chinese martial arts.
The World Tang Soo Do Association and the International Tang Soo Do Federation teach systems of Tang Soo Do that existed before the Taekwondo "merger" and before the development of modern Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan.
These versions of Tang Soo Do are heavily influenced by Korean culture and also appear to be related to Okinawan Karate as initially taught in Japan by Gichin Funakoshi. 
Since taekwondo was developed in several different "kwan"s, there are several different expressions of taekwondo philosophy.
For example, the tenets of the ITF are said to be summed up by the last two phrases in the ITF Student Oath: "I shall be a champion of freedom and justice" and "I shall build a more peaceful world."
Many forms of taekwondo, however, are based on what are called the "Five Tenets of Tae Kwon Do", which are: courtesy ("ye ui"), integrity ("yom chi"), perseverance ("in nae"), self-control ("guk gi"), and indomitable spirit ("baekjul boolgool"). 
The Taekwondo student oath is typically recited at the beginning of a class in Taekwondo, either with students repeating after the instructor, or in unison, students and the instructor speaking at the same time.
The purpose of the student oath is to remind students of their obligations to their art, instructors, fellow students, people outside of their school, and to society at large.
The oath is generally repeated at the beginning of class, after students “bow in”.
Bowing-in is a process that usually includes bowing simultaneously to the Korean flag and the flag of the country in which the school is located, bowing to the head instructor or photograph of the school’s founder, and finally, bowing to the instructors who will be conducting the class.
Usually, the student oath is preceded by a recitation of a list of tenets of Taekwondo.
The instructor typically would prompt the class to repeat the student oath and tenets of Taekwondo.
The tenets of Taekwondo are often given in a list of five: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit.
Young Brothers Institute in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, adds a sixth tenet: modesty.
Additional tenets may be included by other schools of Taekwondo.
For example, along with the five listed above, Han's Taekwondo school in Champagne, Illinois, includes community service and love, but not modesty.
Following recitation of the tenets, students then recite the student oath, as follows:  I shall observe the tenets of Taekwondo.
I shall respect the instructors and seniors.
I shall never misuse Taekwondo.
I shall stand for freedom and justice.
I shall build a more peaceful world.
