I've always found this language to be so mysterious and thought I would never understand its ways. It's very different from any other language, its writing rules are not something we're used to, even the pronunciation of the sounds is different, but pretty easy to grasp, actually. It takes practice. Thank you so much, it's obvious that a lot of work went into this, appreciate it. Well organized and easy to understand.

[@GoBillyKorean]

My actual speaking voice isn't quite so different, but when I'm trying to teach I'm stressing to pronounce things as clearly as possible for the learner. I remember it was so hard to even hear Korean as a beginner, so I want to make it as clear as I can. But that's not how I talk with friends :)

Wow, I've never seen a Korean course that combines so many learning elements at once. It feels far more productive this way. This is great, thank you so much!

[@BrownSugaBabe]

I have just realized how easy it is to learn Hangul without using romanization! I have to work on pronounciation extra hard because I have a heavy Southern drawl so to me I sound weird. I may start recording myself and listen to you saying speaking Korean and compare.

[@diannamckellar7769]

Hi Billy. I just found your videos yesterday, and I've watched the first 4. I love them! Thank you for creating these videos! They are so helpful! I ordered your books as well. I can't wait to get them tomorrow. From what I have seen so far, you're a great teacher!

Glad you like them! And good luck in your studies!

[@Br4vado]

Ya know Billy, as previously stated in other comment section I said I learned the alphabet and needed to review it more, and you told me not to skip any video as i kay learn something new. Upon taking this advice i indeed did learn something new with the ㅇ character I did not know it made the ng sound at the end of the syllable. So once again 감사하다고 for all your work and providing it for free on youtube I'll surely look into your books

@@jasminegold6890 sorry im a bit confused about the circle consonant with the 'ah' vowel. did he pronounce it as just 'ah'? that's what it sounded like i learn chinese so the 'ng' sound isn't foreign to me, like 'ang'. i just can't hear the 'ng' too well in his pronounciation

[@jasminegold6890]

@@pillowsandblankets1432 Koreans always pronounce the circle consonant. But sometimes they pronounce it really softly. I wouldn't recommend pronouncing it softy. Just pronounce things as Koreans pronounce them

[@nisthavats5606]

@@pillowsandblankets1432 as he said, when ㅇ is used before a vowel at the starting of a syllable, it has no sound For eg: 안녕 (annyeong - hello (informal)) I'm sure you have heard this word a lot if you watch kdrama or kpop. Here the first ㅇ,i.e., 안 is pronounced as 'aan' where the 'aa' sound it solely from the vowel ㅏ and the n sound is from ㄴ. That means ㅇ had no sound when it was used at the starting of the syllable. But then when you see the second syllable it has ㅇ at the end of it. 녕 is pronounced as nyeong where the nyeo sound is from 녀 (ㄴ give n sound and ㅕ gives a yeo or yaw sound, you'll learn it in next lessons probably) and the ng sound at the last is from ㅇ. That means when it is used at the end it has a sound but when its used at the starting it has no sound. Other example for ng sound can be - 사랑 sarang (love) Other example for no sound - 아이 aaii (child)

[@jameskerr3257]

These are great. I speak American English. My biggest struggle so far in these lessons (besides repetition and the time needed to commit to long term memory) is the subtle sound differences. For example, the “k” sounds like a “k”, the “t” sounds like a “t”, etc. I cannot tell the difference with any of these! Will Koreans people be able to understand me if I cant verbalize those subtle sounds properly?

It’s easy to pronounce, I guess those 6 years of kdrama really paid off 😂

[@today23915]

I am native Korean. Hangeul has many variations and many subtle differences, but it is much simpler than English in terms of conveying the exact meaning. English often has different meanings due to differences in pronunciation, but Hangeul is mostly understood in context and Korean don't care subtile pronounciation. Foreigners have no problem talking to Koreans even if they just ignore the details. Most people do not have to speak the exact language as government interpreters.

[@hopefillledday9026]

Just curious, why a counterclockwise direction for ㅇ? Also 감사합니다 for the new video course :) I'm currently working throught the Go Simple 1 workbook and textbook, I'm still on the 한글 section but mostly refreshing my knowledge.

[@yourkueenmarie4999]

since the stroke order is from left to write and going counterclockwise starts off left to right because regular clockwise on a clock it is right to left im guessing why that is like that I can be wrong i am a beginner

[@distrustthealchemist8216]

In addition to what the other people said, I think it also helps you write faster if you do circles counterclockwise. Maybe not in the letter ㅇ, but you can kinda feel how it’s more natural when you write the letter ㅎ imo.

한글 is starting to not seem as difficult as I thought. Dont get me wrong, its still hard, but not as hard as all of my high school english classes.

[@ilciccio9602]

I don't know if I'm the one not capable of hearing the difference, but I really struggle to catch the difference between the ㄴ at the end of a triplet syllable and the ㅇ in the same position. The concept of ㅇ sounding like the english "ng" doesn't really works, as every time Billy uses ㅇ I can't hear the final G, basically transforming ㅇ in another N sound. Am I doing something wrong? Is it that perhaps I'm struggling in this case because I'm no English speaker?

[@GoBillyKorean]

That's pretty normal, because ㄴ isn't "N" in English but is softer, so your brain might not hear it as ㄴ but as ㄷ or even ㅇ as a beginner. It will get better, but it can take some time and practice.

[@lailamakhaan2906]

hihi billy if possible please do reply. I have a little confusion. In 6:01 the way you pronounce the 돌 it seems like its ending with a 'L' sound tho that shouldn't be the case as you've told before the pronunciation isnt something like hard 'r' or 'l' but im just confused with that consonant overall. Also ive seen people use that consonant maybe in a different way not sure how but i guess it sometimes depends on the word you're saying sometimes that consonant sounds like an 'l' and other times it sounds like an 'r'. I feel like I wouldn't be able to study further if i have confusion with this.

[@GoBillyKorean]

It's simply due to the letters not being English, so your ears are not yet adjusted to hearing them. They are going to sound like different sounds to you depending on how hard they're pronounced, or what words they appear in, despite the actual Korean letter not changing. Here's an explanation of what's going on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naewlnZjeKyCaNE

What is the difference in sound between 공 and 곤 I mean, ㅇ has an "NG" sound at the end of a syllable, and ㄴ has kind of like an "n" sound. Is there any difference when pronouncing?

[@GoBillyKorean]

Yes, that ending sound will be different. This is just like how if you say "car" and "call" the ending sound will be different in English too.

[@GreySpectro]

você é brasileiro, certo? o ㄴ é simplesmente um N, como em "nadar", "nascer", "bolsonaro", "corno". a sua língua toca o céu da boca, perto dos seus dentes quando você fala esse N. já ㅇ é um NG como em "young" em inglês. ou dependendo do seu sotaque: o N em "língua", "fingir" "condição", "dentro". se você for nordestino ou paranaense, ignore isso kkkk. mas perceba que a sua língua toca em nada quando você fala "youNg". se você ainda não entendeu, pronuncie 공 como "com", mas sem deixar seus lábios fecharem no M.
