[@minjiteacheskorean]

I think you guys are little bit confused. Actually ㄹ might sound more like R to English speakers when it's between vowels. So you might think ㄹ like R in 노래, 파란색, and 사랑해. And also ㄹ might sound more like L when it comes at the beginning of the word or end of the word Ex) 라디오, 러시아, and 하늘. However Koreans don't distinguish those sounds. We consider those sounds the same thing and write them in ㄹ. So that's why I explained that you should just touch the back of your teeth! I'm so sorry if I made you confused.

[@vichetchange]

Thank you

[@albuquerquealfonsode6564]

確か、外国人にとってその発音のほうが簡単ですね。😏

[@ajko000]

We consider the ㄹ sound as a "rolled r" when it is not the 밧침. We do not have this sound natively in English but it comes from many of the romance languages that share our alphabet. Also you did a fantastic job with the video, I think I finally found out how to say the ㄹ more naturally when it isn't doubled or 밧침, 감사합니다 민지 씨!

[@blackhawkX02]

Minji Teaches Korean 민지 티치 코리안 I think the problem is that for fucking English speakers the R sound is not quite right, it doesn't sound like a R, as the romanization suggests, the biggest problem with romanization is that they combine sounds from other languages, not just English, in this case the sound of R and L in Spanish may be perfect to explain the difference, but in English it's just non sense, because the sound of R is completely different, the closest sound is when you combine letters such as TT or DD, like in the word "leTTer" in American accent.

[@klla_km]

I know i shouldnt do this because I need to stop thinking of the character in "english" terms but i notice that at the start of words it does sound like an L, at the end it actually sounds like an L mixed with a Y (as in, you start saying L, but but before your tongue hits the teeth you widen your jaw like the end of a Y sound) and the middle of a word it does sound like an R (if there is a ㄹ at the end of a syllable, and then a ㄹ at the start of the next, it actually sounds like a rolled R almost). Just my obervations

At the beginning of a syllable, ㄹ is more like the spanish “r” than the english “r” sound. It’s like a mixture between the spanish “r” and the english “L”. At the end of a syllable (batchim), it is more like the english L but with your tongue on the roof of your mouth (the part up front that gets burnt by hot pizza!). :)

[@elliot20201]

Seems like a newbie with experience in other languages like Spanish or Japanese might find it easier to almost treat it like a tapped R sound when they're first starting out. It also reminds me a bit of the Chinese "back of throat" R sound at the ends of words. Interesting! Languages are so fascinating, thank you for posting these videos :)

[@Zamarit21]

So it seems like the sounds changes a little depending on the word. You always said the syllable as 'la' but sometimes you pronounced the word as 'ra'.

True! That made it so confusing.. It's not her fault though, it's just confusing for us foreigners because they pronounce ㄹ naturally and we have to learn everything by heart. When she says a word with R, it sounds rrr but when she emphasizes the syllable with ra, it turns la.

[@Tbh_kid]

@@dhk1126 eres isnt a rolling r, I’m Mexican, eres is just a normal r like in water, an example of a rolled R is any word starting with an R, like Romance Rosa Raqueta Rio Recarga or a word with a double r (rr)

Thank you sooo much!! This wascso helpful!! I was so confused on how to pronounce it!!! A big help!💗💕

[@그로이]

So this is just my own understanding😅 ㄹ - R / L So we do notice that It's sometimes it has 'R' pronounciation and it's sometimes 'L' pronounciation. So if this symbol (ㄹ) can be found in the beginning and in the end, the pronounciation is letter "L" for example: Ramyeon (라면) - (L)amyeon Geojismal (거짓말) - Geojisma(L) Note: "L" pronounciation if this symbol (ㄹ) is in the first and in the last. And if this symbol (ㄹ) is between the 2 vowels, the pronunciation is 'R' for example: Korea (코리아) We can notice that this sign 'ㄹ' is between 2 vowels. Another example: Saranghae (사랑해) So it's between the 2 vowels so it's more of an 'R' sound. Note: pronounciation "R" if between the 2 vowels. (마자요?😅)

[@wackyroad]

I love it when Koreans disagree about the Korean language.;) Seems to me there are lots of exceptions and Minji was going for the general rules. It is definitely true that it is not always the 'l' sound but for those of us whose pronunciation is way off (I've been battling with the ㄹ for 10 + years now) it's not a bad rule of thumb. But your explanation makes a lot more sense given the fact that I hear a combination of 'l' and 'r' sounds from my Korean students when they speak in English. Thanks for the varying perspective.

[@alexusphoenix8408]

Thank you so much. You were very clear and helpful.

[@Pokephosgene]

Korean wouldn't be the first language where a single letter could denote two different sounds. ㄹ is both R and L, at least when I hear all these examples.

[@Brisbae]

This confuses me so much. Your example with 사랑해요 for example. When you say the full word it clearly sounds more like an R to me, but when you say just ‘랑‘ in isolation, it sounds more like an L. To my ears you’re pronouncing it completely differently

[@minjiteacheskorean]

Sorry for the confusion! This video was made a few years ago when I was less experienced. 😂 Now, I'm able to elaborate in an easier way. ▪️So, when ㄹ is between vowels, like in 사랑 for instance, it sounds like an 'R.' It's more like a flapping 't' in American English, such as wa”t”er, la”dd”er, and so on. So, what you heard was completely correct. ▪️When a syllable starts with ㄹ, such as 라면, I think you should slightly touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue. And it’s very difficult with the English R as we don’t really make our lips rounded when pronouncing ㄹ. ▪️However, when it finishes with a ㄹ, the sound stays. For example, 물 doesn't sound like 'mul'; you just keep your tongue in place and let the air flow between the tongue.

[@wintersolstice9839]

Oh, boy, am I late... Anyway, I enjoyed this and I wouldn't have commented because I feel pretty good about my pronunciation... Until you said the koreanization of McDonald's. I tried, but that one was so hard for me! 😂

[@MagicApple03]

Coming from Japanese learning I was doing great until you said Sky...I can't do the R/L at the end properly. Frustrating.

[@garrykimovich]

Best way to pronounce ㄹ is as an L at the start of a word, R at the end of a word or syllable, and a D at the start of a middle syllable. The middle sound is just like the T in water or DD in ladder. When two ㄹ are consecutive, then it's hard L sound like yellow.

[@xMaXrYx]

It could be the sound of the spanish "r"? for words like "pero, pera, espera..." its a "soft" sound. I'm not talking about the "strong" sound when you said words like "perro, ratón, requesón, cartón..."

[@trxuvaille6788]

Yes that's right but it's only an r sound when the ㄹ comes in the middle of two vowels eg. 거리아 or 그래 however in words where the ㄹ comes in the beginning or end of a word eg. 럼욘 it'll be the l she's explaining....hope this helps!

[@theshaheenery]

Someone double-check the way I just thought about this, please: When it comes to ㄹ, don't think about it as a sound, think about it as a certain position of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. DH K's comment below helped me as an English speaker who has taken a little Spanish: it is a "front of the mouth R" like "eres" not a "further back R" like Tony the Tiger "grrrrrreat"

[@sinaibilbao]

Thank you sm!!! 💕💕💕

[@MrMwurm]

I always say people are wrong when they say it's an "r" sound. Because it never ever makes an English r sound. I'd say "L" and possibly a soft "d" sound, similar to some who say 네, like 데. It has really everything to do with tongue placement, so some times yes 네, can sound like day

[@tentenonmymind1387]

i think it’s pronounced the same way every time, but since our american ears aren’t trained it sounds different sometimes. it’s definitely more like of “l” than “r”

[@minjiteacheskorean]

+AJ Menon What a good question! Yes actually ㄹ might sound more like R to English speakers when it's between vowels. So that's why you thought ㄹ is like R in 노래 or 사랑해. And also ㄹ might sound more like L when it comes at the first. (라디오) However Koreans don't distinguish those sounds. We consider those sounds the same thing and write them in ㄹ. So that's why I explained that you just should touch the back of your teeth when you pronouce ㄹ! 질문 고마워요👍👍

You were using 반말 (informal speech) when you said :"알았어! 고마워" you should add "요" to make it more formal and polite( 존댓말) wich makes it: "알았어요! 고마워요". Keep up the good work ^.^

This “L” word is also in Chinese alphabet 😂😂 After watching so many videos, finally I find the answer to pronounce “l”.

Excelente explicacion !!!!!

[@shael982007]

I started learning korean. I thin'k when ㄹ is at top in the korean charecter's written form then it's R. Else it is L. When iyong is there then with shift it to the place of ㅇ and become R like if can write some dummy word like 말언. Then it ㄹ will shift to ㅇ place and since it is on top it will sound like Rae. Doe's anyone else also think it work's like that??

[@justformemory7011]

This is what i am waiting for always confuse with "ㄹ"

[@sohyangfan2092]

Ms.Minji or Mrs.Minji could we say ㄹ as a L and an R?
