Educational Programming Language (EPL) should be learner-friendly and easy to use. Dolittle, an object-oriented educational programming language (EPL), offers programming environment which can be programmed in Korean(Hangul). However, since some Dolittle commands are not appropriate to elementary and middle school students, it shows limitations for learners to express programming process. In this paper, we developed a set of 1:n multi-reserved words which are able to program with Korean linguistic characteristics as well as considering learners' differences, preferences, and applicable areas. The conclusion in the paper showed that programming with this 1:n multi-reserved words helped learners concentrate on problem solving regardless of the reserved words.
