[@venisserico7620]

This channel is always the BEST! I AM LEARNING KOREAN FOR MY BANGTAN BOYS AND EDUCATION ESPECIALLY ITS QUARANTINE!!

[@FluentForeverApp]

That's amazing! It's fantastic to hear you're learning Korean and that you're enjoying the app!

[@knightlykar]

Ooh that’s cool! I am learning korean because I want to talk to some my family members and friends who speak it fluently ☺️

[@i2ikorean]

Thank you for this video! I loved it very much! ^ ^

[@FluentForeverApp]

Thanks for watching! 😁

[@dustmurphy1]

What about combination vowels like ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅠ, ㅘ, ㅝ, ㅢ, ㅟ, ㅚ, ㅙ, ㅞ, ㅖ, ㅒ? Why are these not in the video?

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Dust!!! The video is only meant to explain the 7/8 basic Korean vowels, and we want to ensure it's not overwhelming for beginners who are not familiar with the Korean sound system. 😊

[@Novjuly]

Do you have a video on the w-vowels? I can't wrap my head around them

[@mikkicky]

@@FluentForeverApp does the next video talk about them? Because I'm about to move on and I have no clue whether I'm going to learn what I need to or not Or should I find another resources to find out this information

[@Mactakun]

@@mikkickylmao chill out bro it’s a free video

[@obedotto4465]

1:48 wait isn't the p supposed to be unreleased?

[@geeksaurusrex]

Wish you covered lip formation too. 우 is not equivalent to the English u. In 우 the lips are much more puffed out.

[@sheilamay7188]

Thank you! Your vid helped me a lot. But I'm still having a hard time pronouncing 의 (ui) ㅠ_ㅠ

[@thegreatsalad]

Same

[@nasimkhan7350]

thnx a lot for this video

[@FluentForeverApp]

We are glad you found the video helpful!

[@gamer3928]

Why do I typically hear ㅓ pronounced as [ɔ] instead of [ʌ]?

[@frafraplanner9277]

Because [ɔ] is exactly the same as [ʌ] if it were rounded. I believe the Korean /ʌ/ can be rounded or half-rounded at times so that it sounds just like [ɔ]

[@makerthin3]

thanks

[@FluentForeverApp]

Happy to help!

[@gamer3928]

2:05 I heard this in video 1, and I was confused.

[@FluentForeverApp]

@gamer3928 Can you provide a little more context about what is confusing you?

[@Alesyniana]

The two e sounds remind me of the French è and é. Are they the same? And can ㅓ be ə?

[@SeintDirk]

İ think like you "y the 'eo' vowel don't use '[ə]'?"

[@frafraplanner9277]

Yes the ㅐwas originally the same sound as è in French andㅔwas the same as é. But now they're merging into one sound in between those sounds so that it's like the e in Spanish

[@s.al.w4431]

why does the "o" sound looks like the "w" sound in the previous vid?

[@katelynnoi3624]

theyre different symbols

[@juandiegovalverde1982]

What about “ui”?

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Juan! Could you clarify your question a bit?

[@juandiegovalverde1982]

@@FluentForeverApp , what about the diphthong ui?

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Juan! Can you elaborate on your question please?

[@juandiegovalverde1982]

@@FluentForeverApp , can you explain the pronunciation of the diphthong ui in the Korean language? Because wi and ui are different.

[@FluentForeverApp]

Hi Juan! The Pronunciation Trainer covers all the important issues a language has. If it is considered something that we should focus on, we're sure it will come up in the videos. Our social media team doesn't have the expertise to provide this info, our experts made sure that everything necessary is in our Pronunciation Trainer. 😊
