wonderful video. i noticed in kdramas and korean variety shows, when people say things like annyeonghaseyo, the yo part is pronounced similar to the korean' eo ' which confused me. is there any way to identify between them in native speech? thank youu!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are very happy you enjoyed the lesson. You are absolutely right. In Korean, the last vowel in "annyeonghaseyo" (안녕하세요) can indeed sound a bit like "eo" instead of the written "o." It’s very attentive of you to notice! The vowel is supposed to be ㅗ. In practice, it often sounds more like a more centralized vowel sound between ㅗ and ㅓ, which can come across as closer to ㅓ, especially in informal speech or different dialects. Koreans don't perceive it as a pure ㅓ, but it can be subtle and hard to distinguish in native speech. With more practice, you'll develop a better feel for these sounds but there is no exact way to identify between them. With vocabulary practice, however, you will also learn and memorize how certain words are spelled. I wouldn't worry too much, especially at the beginning. It kind of happens automatically. I am sure you are familiar with the difference already but the vowels 'ㅓ' (eo) and 'ㅗ' (o) can be tricky to differentiate at first. In our first lesson on basic vowels, we compare these two sounds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4qoZJeOodJ8aqs As you continue learning and understanding the different mouth shapes for these vowels, you'll soon be able to distinguish them more easily. At first, it can be challenging because while these vowels exist in many languages, most don’t consciously differentiate them. I hope this answer helps you. If you need further clarification or have more questions, we are here to help. All the best, Hyunok and Gerhard
