Bad or Bat? A D/T Ear Test

Especially for German & Korean speakers

German and Korean both apply systematic final-consonant devoicing — a voiced sound like d automatically turns voiceless at the end of a word — so bad and bat can be genuinely identical by ear for speakers of either language, not just hard to say.

Same start, same vowel — the last sound alone decides good or bad, literally. Let's test it.
