About Sound Detective
Sound Detective trains the very first skill of Korean literacy: connecting a spoken consonant to its written shape. Each round the game says the name of one of the 14 basic consonants — 기역 (ㄱ), 니은 (ㄴ), 디귿 (ㄷ) and so on — and you pick the matching letter from four choices. Because you answer by ear first and only see the romanization afterwards, the game builds the direct sound-to-symbol link that flashcard reading often skips.
A game is ten questions. Correct answers earn 100 points, wrong answers cost 50, and your accuracy is tracked so you can watch it climb from round to round. If a letter keeps tripping you up, open the letters lesson and replay its stroke-order animation — writing a letter once is often what makes its sound stick.
