  • This is the second of a 4-part series on Korean pronunciation. The goal is to get familiar with the sounds of Korean and the IPA symbols. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through my pronunciation trainers. More links below:

    I'm a native English speaker. But I can also read Arabic with the correct pronunciation. So, learning to pronounce Hangul ain't as bad. The Hangul consonants I learned in less than 20 minutes. But, the vowels are a bit trickier since they all nearly look the same, and some sound the same. I just started learning Hangul as of February 2021. I will try to study it at least 10 minutes a day for a couple months to see what progress I make. My goals are to read hangul smoothly and fast with the correct pronunciation. Whilst learning new vocubulary.

    I wonder how do Korean people scream or slightly raise their voice in anger or simply want to put emphasis on that word? In my native language "sam" can be pronounced both like 삼 and 쌈. You can hear the latter when spoken in anger or the other cases I mentioned.

      @@brijo9299 These are two examples, though they are just examples and not existing words:
      암비: ambi. M is a voiced consonant so ㅂ = /b/
      앗비: atbi. T is an unvoiced consonant so ㅂ = /p/ (though it still gets generally romanized as ‘b’ like I did

    I’m finding much of the illustrated instructions misleading…and I’m a U.S. born person with a BFA in Illustration. For ex: When speaking English “L”, I don’t place tip of tongue where you show English speakers placing it, I actually place it where you show Koreans placing it. And this is one of several inaccuracies I have noted on your channel. This is creating unnecessary confusion in Westerners trying to learn Korean, where they’re being told there is a difference where there isn’t one.

    At 1:10 , why is the word ɯŋɡɯpɕil written as a tense consonant, and why at the bottom the same word is written with a tense "s"? And so is the same letter marked as tense in 2:52.
    And I don't hear the korean L as a normal IPA L. It sounds as if the tongue did not touch the alveolar. So the double L does sound like a combination of the non-alveolar L and a true alveolar L. My native tongue is Tamil (Dravidian) and we use a lot of double L (alveolar and retroflex) and R (apical and laminal). So i can hear the Korean double L to be very distinct from ours.

  • @obedotto4465

    This video was incredibly informative and helpful, but I have a few questions. First, you mentioned voiced consonants, but I thought all Korean consonants were unvoiced. Secondly, could you make another video talking about how to pronounce ㄴ and ㅁ? I don't believe you mentioned them in your video series, and seeing how detailed your advice is, it would definitely help me out a lot on my Korean journey. Thanks!

    • @swiftsetrider4543
      @swiftsetrider4543 Před 3 lety +3

      Korean consonants can be voiced or unvoiced, depending on where they are in the word. At the beginning of the word, they're voiced, but between two vowels or after a nasal (m,n) or the ng sound, they're voiced. It's kind of like how consonants can switch from being aspirated vs. unaspirated in English depending on if they are at the beginning of a word like t in "top" or after another consonant like in "stop" or "captor", even though both are written as t.
