I love to learn with your videos even though I’m not really studying Korean. It’s a language that interests me for various reasons but I’ve never really got into it. I find the way you talk and explain very neat and pleasant and you make me want to learn more. I noticed something about the nasal consonants. Is it correct to say /m/ and /n/ are more or less pronounced like English /b/ and /d/ when there’s no vowel before? I noticed when you say Minsu in the Korean sentence I kind of hear it like “binsu” but then when you switch to English I hear a regular m-sound.

[@korean.studio1]

Hi Mattia, thank you for your kind words. The differences between Korean 'ㅁ & ㄴ' and the English 'M & N' is due to something called denasalization and this is when a nasal sound loses some of the air passing through the nose. So if we focus on ㅁ vs m, English m is a pure voiced nasal sound, so no air passes through the mouth. However, with Korean ㅁ, the voicing is not as strong, so rather than all the air passing through the nose, some of it passes through the mouth, and since the articulation of ㅁ and B is the same (closed lips opening to produce the sound), ㅁ ends up sounding a bit like B. However, although ㅁ can sound like B, it's still far closer to the sound of M than B. If you produce B sound in words that have ㅁ, Korean people would be really confused. And the same thing happens with ㄴ & D. Best wishes Keehwan

[@mattiamele3015]

@@korean.studio1 Thanks for the detailed explanation, Keehwan. It’s very clear now, I see, it’s a subtle difference. I can say by now I’m fairly familiar with the Korean script but I still can’t read it. I try to repeat your sentences when watching your videos, even though some sounds are hard to distinguish. In this respect I really appreciated your video about aspirated vs non-aspirated stops, and I think I’m able to tell them apart when I hear a word or sentence. Tense consonants are a bit more difficult. Anyway thanks for your great work. Mattia

안녕하세요. 이 영상은 되게 도움이 되는 영상이에요. 고마워요. 제가 빠른 질문이 있어요. 두 형용사가 쓰고 있을 때 어떤 단어가 사용해야 하실 거예요? 그래서 이렇게 이 문장을 맞은 문장인가요? 그 차가 빠른이나 느린 차인가요? 이거처럼 '이나' 사용하는 것을 맞으세요? I hope my Korean makes sense here, but I'll write the question in English just in case, as I'm not too confident in my Korean ability yet. Just like to practice. If you use two adjectives in a sentence, like 'Is this car fast or slow?' which of the 'or' words would be the correct word to use of the three. I'm guessing either '이나' or '아니면', but have tried looking this up on google, and can't find an answer. If indeed either is correct. Or do you have to make the adjectives into a noun form or add a noun to ask something like this (my sentence example is daft, I know) so: 그 차가 빠른 차나 느린 차인가요? Just wondered if there is a simpler adjective to adjective way? Thank you.

If i use 아니면, do i write 빵을먹는것/거? Cause it was written as 거? in the video

[@korean.studio1]

In Korean, 것 is used in many words and it's often used as 거, especially in speech. So both 것 and 거 are fine, though in formal writing, you should write 것 rather than 거.

[@kevinpalt]

Can i use " 또는 as or "?

[@siddhikamat5356]

선생님 Can (이)나 also be used to express the ‘or’ in a sentence like ‘Do you like tea or coffee?’

[@elizabethbrain7092]

But then how do you use 안이면 (or something else?) To say the second example of 'or' given at the beginning, to mean 'if not'/ 'or else...' aka more as a cause and affect sentence (do this, or else this will happen) ?

[@xxjupiterx]

Na and Ko na I see it is a same meaning but for Na is use the same verb (eat) then you use or for two noun And Ko na is use for different verb (eat and drink) so you use Ko na right? I’m a bit confuse 😅 And try to find the different point of using. Thank you in advance. Anyway, thank you for your VDO.

저는 내일 운동하거나 아침밥을 먹을 거여요. 저는 주스나 물을 마셔요. 부산거나 제주두 가고싶어요. 나중에 하교에 아니면 집에 갈거여요. Did I murder Korean grammar 선생님?

[@korean.studio1]

Looks great :) Only thing is with 거나 as it should be used with verbs, so instead of 부산거나, we can say 부산에 가거나... or you say 저는 부산이나 제주도에 가고 싶어요.
