Questions show only the four Hanja and every answer option is in English, so you don't need to read Korean; each idiom's English name is revealed on the results page. The bank holds 381 idioms: everyday ones like 一石二鳥 (two birds with one stone), sayings from Chinese classics like 塞翁之馬 (the old frontiersman's horse) and 臥薪嘗膽 (King Goujian's patient revenge), and a few coined in Korea, such as 咸興差使 (an envoy who never returns).\n\nA round is 10 questions by default, adjustable in steps of 5 up to all 381. Your score is the share of correct answers out of 100, and your best score is kept in this browser. Idioms with practically the same meaning never appear as each other's wrong options, so every question has exactly one right answer. The result page lists every idiom with its Hanja, the correct meaning and your pick. Free, no sign-up, about 3–5 minutes for 10 questions.\n\nMeanings follow Korean usage.
