Shapes in Korean
By Dmytro Syrykh, the parent who makes Kidster
Spoken by a native Korean voice, the same recording a child hears in the Kidster app.
All of these are free in Kidster.
Good to know
Korean shape names are built like Japanese and Chinese ones, from numbers and 각형 (“angled shape”): 삼각형, 오각형, 육각형. A circle is 원, and a cone is 원뿔, literally “circle-horn”.
