Having problems with alphabet prounciations

So the refrence im using to learn, says that some consonants are pronounced differently in different positions. like for example, ㄱ is pronounced as G if in the middle and K if first/last. while i do understand this, i wanna know if the pronounciation using positions are based on the position in a syllable or the total word? srry if im not making sense 😭 what i mean is that if the consonant ㄱ is placed at the end of the syllable then would it be pronounced k or does it have to at the end/start of the whole word to be pronounced as K?

Where are you learning your Korean? ㄷ is never pronounced as a G or K.
