What does 초 까지 mean in this sentence? After asking a teacher friend when summer vacation starts, this was the response: 방학은 6월부터. 이미 시작했죠. 근데 6월 초 까지는 학교 나가서 마무리 작업을 해야되요. 성적표도 내야하고… I translated most of the sentences, but I don’t understand the 초 까지 part. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Here 초 means "beginning (of)" e.g. 그 축제는 12월 중반에서 2월 초까지 계속됩니다. The festival runs from mid-December to early February. 그는 14세기 말에서 15세기 초까지 살았다. He lived in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. 6월 초까지는 학교 나가서 마무리 작업을 해야되요 I must go to school up to early June in order to finish up my work.

"6월 초까지" means "early June." We use 초,중순, 말 after the month to divide one month. In most cases, 초(순) - 1~10th of the month/ 중순 - 11~20th of the month / 말 - 21~ by the end of the month. For example, 6월 초 = early June, 6월 중순= the middle of June 6월 말 = the end of June
